Meta outlines Muse, AI glasses and VR device updates at Connect 2026
- On Thursday, Meta unveiled its $1,300 Meta VR Glasses launching in spring 2027, alongside new audio-only Ray-Ban Meta glasses priced at $349, during its annual Meta Connect event.
- To address privacy concerns that plagued previous camera-equipped models, the company introduced the audio-only glasses, which critics frequently derided as "pervert glasses" due to unauthorized recording fears.
- The new VR Glasses weigh 100g and feature a 5K display with holographic avatar support for video calls, with Meta touting the device as "the first IMAX Enhanced certified VR device ever."
- Alongside new collaborations from Kylie Jenner and Blackpink's Lisa, the updated Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 glasses feature a customizable action button for instant AI access, starting at $399.
- Integration of the Muse AI assistant will enable future features like meal logging and workout guidance, positioning these wearables as key drivers for Meta's growth beyond the metaverse.
