Unlike previous years, Zuckerberg\u2019s keynote this year barely mentioned traditional VR headsets; instead, he focused squarely on two things:<strong>AI Agent Muse<\/strong> and <strong>Smart glasses<\/strong>From \u201cVR devices in eyeglass form\u201d to \u201cRay-Bans without cameras,\u201d and now to Muse\u2019s successive upgrades\u2014the event sent an unmistakable signal: Meta is tightly integrating AI with wearable hardware. Below, we break down the most noteworthy announcements one by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I. Meta VR Glasses: Not a Headset, but a Pair of Glasses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meta\u2019s new VR hardware this year is a pair of \u201cglasses.\u201d This <strong>Meta VR Glasses<\/strong> Guiding fitness movements, logging meals, helping select products visible in front of you<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">. This marks Muse\u2019s critical expansion from smartphones and computers to wearable devices\u2014it no longer resides solely within an app but lives on your face, ready at all times. <strong>Beyond Muse, the glasses introduce a suite of accessibility features, delivered with genuine commitment:<\/strong>Hearing Enhancement<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">: Meta calls this \u201cFDA-cleared software for mild to moderate hearing loss,\u201d launching this year\u2014available via Meta One subscription or as a standalone $149 add-on.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Low-Vision Assistance<strong>: Meta AI provides richer contextual responses to \u201cwhat\u2019s in front of you,\u201d helping blind and low-vision users understand their surroundings.<\/strong>Left\/Right Channel Adjustment<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">: Users can freely adjust audio balance between left and right ears\u2014or route all sound to one side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hearing Enhancement<\/strong>Meta calls this \u201cFDA-cleared software for mild to moderate hearing loss,\u201d launching this year\u2014available via the Meta One subscription or as a standalone add-on for $149.<\/li>\n<li><strong>From Voice Assistant to Voice Agent<\/strong>Hearing Enhancement<\/li>\n<li><strong>Meta calls this \u201cFDA-cleared software for mild to moderate hearing loss,\u201d launching this year as part of the Meta One subscription or as a $149 standalone add-on.<\/strong>Low-Vision Assistance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meta AI provides richer contextual answers about \u201cwhat\u2019s in front of you\u201d to help blind and low-vision users understand their surroundings.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Left-Right Channel Adjustment <strong>Ray-Ban Meta Audio Glasses<\/strong>Users can freely adjust audio balance between left and right ears\u2014even routing all sound to one side.<strong>3. Camera-Free Ray-Ban: A Direct Response to the \u201cSpy Glasses\u201d Controversy<\/strong>Over the past few months, Meta\u2019s smart glasses have drawn criticism for including built-in cameras that could be used for surreptitious recording\u2014earning them the derogatory label \u201cpervert glasses.\u201d At this year\u2019s Connect, Meta unveiled<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014a pair of smart glasses powered by Meta AI but<a href=\"https:\/\/aidashxp.com\/en\/amazon-blocks-meta-muse\/\">with no camera at all.<\/a>This timing is telling: amid rising societal resistance to wearable surveillance, Meta proactively removed the camera to launch an audio-only version. It both completes the product lineup\u2014offering users who don\u2019t need photography but want an AI voice assistant a dedicated option\u2014and serves as a direct response to public backlash. Notably, on the same day,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Amazon had just blocked Meta\u2019s Muse agent,<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">and Meta clearly hopes such \u201cmore restrained\u201d hardware will help rebuild trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>4. Muse Triple Upgrade: Email, Video Calls, and Computer Control<\/strong>Meta is iterating on Muse at breakneck speed\u2014this time rolling out three updates simultaneously:<\/li>\n<li><strong>From \u201cVoice Assistant\u201d to \u201cVoice Agent\u201d Upgrade<\/strong>Hearing Enhancement<\/li>\n<li><strong>Meta calls this \u201cFDA-cleared software for mild to moderate hearing loss,\u201d launching this year as part of the Meta One subscription or as a standalone add-on for $149.<\/strong>Video Calling <a href=\"https:\/\/aidashxp.com\/en\/meta-muse-mac-app\/\">Users can video chat face-to-face with Muse.<\/a> Computer Control<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Newly launched<strong>Muse Mac app<\/strong>will gain the ability to \u201cuse your computer,\u201d enabling Muse to operate software on your behalf. <a href=\"https:\/\/aidashxp.com\/en\/claude-opus-5-5-review\/\">Claude<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/aidashxp.com\/en\/gpt-6-sol-luna-review\/\">GPT-6<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/aidashxp.com\/en\/grok-4-7-review\/\">Grok 4.7<\/a> The direction of these upgrades is clear: Muse is evolving from a \u201cchatbot\u201d into an autonomous agent capable of sending and receiving email, conducting video calls, and controlling computers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Autonomous Agent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This aligns entirely with the direction taken by major players like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini\u2014treating agent capabilities as the next battleground, all racing to claim the entry point for \u201cgetting things done for you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What hardware did Meta Connect 2026 announce?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two main devices: Meta VR Glasses (a glasses-form-factor VR device weighing approximately 100 grams, paired with a pocket-sized compute module) and camera-free Ray-Ban Meta Audio Glasses.

Given its positioning as a \u201clightweight Vision Pro,\u201d it is likely targeted at the mid-to-high-end market\u2014the final details will be confirmed by official announcements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From \u201cVoice Assistant\u201d to \u201cVoice Agent\u201d Upgrade<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hearing Enhancement<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meta calls this \u201cFDA-cleared software for mild to moderate hearing loss\u201d; it launches this year, available with the Meta One subscription or as a standalone add-on for $149.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is Muse\u2019s Hearing Enhancement free?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No. Hearing Enhancement launches this year, available with the Meta One subscription or as a standalone add-on for $149 (requires compatible glasses).<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What can Muse do now?<strong>Beyond conversation, Muse can already send and receive emails, conduct video calls, control computers on Mac, and is gradually rolling out to smart glasses to handle tasks including fitness coaching, dietary logging, and shopping.<\/strong>Summary: Meta is betting big on \u201cWearable AI\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watching the entire Connect conference, Meta\u2019s strategy is now crystal clear: VR headsets have taken a back seat, replaced by the \u201c <a href=\"https:\/\/aidashxp.com\/en\/ai-models\/\">AI Model Library<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/aidashxp.com\/en\/compare-tools\/\">Tool Comparison Engine<\/a>or continue reading:<a href=\"https:\/\/aidashxp.com\/en\/rabbit-os3-agent\/\">Rabbit OS3 Agent Review<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/aidashxp.com\/en\/siri-gemini-ios27\/\">Glasses + Agent<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/aidashxp.com\/en\/kling-review\/\">\u201d combination. Lighter VR glasses lower the barrier to immersive experiences; camera-free Ray-Ban glasses address privacy concerns; and Muse\u2019s rapid iteration pushes Meta\u2019s AI assistant toward an autonomous agent capable of acting on users\u2019 behalf.
