Meta has introduced a new $1,299 virtual reality glasses device and a small AI gadget called Muse Charm as the company looks to bring its personal AI agent to more devices.
The products were announced at Meta Connect 2026, where CEO Mark Zuckerberg outlined the company’s plans to expand its Muse AI agent beyond phones and computers. Meta wants users to be able to access Muse throughout the day through different devices.
The announcements come just weeks after Meta introduced Muse as a personal AI agent that can carry out tasks for users. At Connect, the company showed how the agent will connect with more services and eventually work directly through Meta’s AI glasses.

Meta Sets $1,299.99 Price For New VR Glasses
The new Meta VR Glasses combine virtual reality, spatial computing and a glasses-style design. The device will cost $1,299.99 and is expected to launch in spring 2027. Meta said the glasses weigh about 100 grams, which is around one-fifth the weight of the Meta Quest 3.
The glasses use a 5K Infinite Display with micro-OLED panels. Meta has placed the battery and main processing components in a separate module instead of putting everything inside the glasses. Users can attach the module to a belt or carry it in a pocket or bag.
This helps reduce the weight of the glasses while still allowing them to display large virtual screens and support spatial computing features. Users will be able to create several virtual displays and use a physical desk or table as a keyboard and touchpad. The glasses also use eye tracking and hand gestures, so users do not need traditional controllers.
Meta is also positioning the device as an entertainment product. It will support an IMAX Enhanced experience and services including Prime Video, YouTube, Disney+, Peacock, HBO Max and Paramount+. Meta also plans to offer more than 100 immersive live sports events each year.
Muse Charm Brings Meta’s AI Agent To A Small Device
Meta also introduced Muse Charm, a small device designed to give users direct access to its Muse AI agent. The company described Muse Charm as a pocket-sized device that combines Muse with a real-time voice model.
Meta has not announced its price or final launch date yet. It said more details will be shared later this year. The device is meant to provide another way to use Muse without opening a phone or computer. It is part of Meta’s wider plan to bring its AI agent to dedicated hardware.
Reports after the announcement described Muse Charm as a small keychain-style device with voice controls and a display. Meta has not yet confirmed all of those hardware details or announced the final price.
Meta Adds Muse AI To its Smart Glasses
Meta is also bringing Muse to its growing range of AI glasses. The company said Muse will arrive on its AI glasses in the coming months. Users will be able to say the agent’s name and ask questions about objects or information in front of them.
During the demonstration, Meta showed Muse identifying products on store shelves, explaining information on a flyer and helping users manage a long shopping list. The agent can also take actions based on what the user is seeing.
Meta is expanding Muse’s connections to other services as well. New partners include Walmart, Best Buy, Sephora, Ulta, Wayfair, Expedia and Instacart. Notion, GitHub, Box and other services are being added for work-related tasks.
Meta is also integrating Shop Pay and PayPal for payments. Muse will get its own email address as well, allowing the agent to use email to complete tasks and communicate with users.

Meta Expands AI Glasses Lineup With New Ray-Ban Models
Meta also announced more AI glasses products at Connect, including its first Ray-Ban Meta Audio glasses. The glasses combine open-ear audio with AI and offer up to 12 hours of battery life, according to Meta. The company said they are its thinnest and lightest AI glasses so far.
Meta also introduced Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3, which has a slimmer design, longer battery life and a customizable action button for accessing Meta AI. By the end of 2026, Meta expects to have more than 100 styles of AI glasses across its Ray-Ban, Oakley and Meta Glasses ranges.
The company is also adding a hearing-enhancement feature to supported AI glasses. The FDA-cleared software is aimed at adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss. Meta said it will cost $149.99 in the US when it launches later this year, or will be available through a Meta One subscription.
Meta Expands its AI Strategy Beyond Apps and Websites
Meta’s latest announcements show its effort to make AI agents part of everyday hardware rather than limiting them to apps and websites. Muse is already available through the app, WhatsApp, the web and a Mac desktop version. Meta is now bringing it to AI glasses and developing Muse Charm as another way to interact with the agent.
The company is also connecting Muse to shopping, travel, productivity and communication services. These integrations will allow the agent to carry out tasks across different third-party platforms.
Meta’s Connect announcements bring together two parts of its hardware strategy: new devices for immersive computing and more hardware for its AI agent.
The $1,299.99 VR Glasses focus on virtual reality, spatial computing and entertainment. Muse Charm and Meta’s AI glasses, meanwhile, are aimed at making Muse available throughout the day without requiring users to rely on a smartphone or computer.
