Artificial intelligence is moving beyond the phone and computer screen. At Meta Connect 2026, Meta announced plans to bring Muse, its personal AI agent, to smart glasses and unveiled a new generation of wearable devices.
What Muse on glasses is meant to do
According to the company, Muse will respond by voice and use the context of what a person is looking at. The idea is to let users ask about products, signs, lists and other everyday objects without having to describe them manually on a screen.
Meta says the agent will also be able to perform tasks in the background while a voice conversation continues. The feature was announced for the coming months; availability, languages, pricing and capabilities may differ by country and device model.
AI, audio and virtual-reality glasses
The event also brought new AI glasses focused on audio, calls and hands-free assistant interaction. Meta introduced Meta VR Glasses, described as a virtual-reality device weighing about 100 grams and designed for personal cinema, work and gaming.
Other announcements include a new Ray-Ban Meta generation with a slimmer design, longer battery life and a customizable action button; updates to Meta Ray-Ban Display; and a hearing-enhancement feature for eligible users in the United States.
More devices — but no universal rollout yet
Meta says it expects to have more than 100 AI-glasses styles in its portfolio by the end of the year. The figure underlines the company’s bet on interfaces that do not require users to keep looking at their phones.
For readers outside the initial launch markets, it is important to distinguish an announcement from local availability. In this release, Meta did not provide a full timetable, price list or complete feature set for every country. Market conditions, regulation, language support and local partnerships will all matter.
Why it matters
The announcements reflect a growing race to make AI a more everyday, less screen-dependent presence. If that promise becomes practical, smart glasses could gain ground in simple tasks, accessibility, communication and content consumption — while privacy, image capture and responsible use of data remain central to the debate.
