The Biggest News From Connect 2026

Mark Zuckerberg on stage at Connect 2026

Takeaways

  • Yesterday at Connect 2026, we announced we’re bringing Muse to our AI glasses so you can connect with your agent hands-free throughout your day — plus new features and connectors that make your Muse even better. 
  • We introduced Meta VR Glasses: all the magic of VR immersion in a breakthrough pair of glasses you can comfortably wear for hours.
  • We also unveiled our new lineup of AI glasses, including audio glasses, and by the end of this year, we’ll have more than 100 styles of AI glasses across Ray-Ban, Oakley, and Meta Glasses.

We’re building personal AI agents for everyone and a whole family of devices that let you connect with them from anywhere. 

Bringing Muse to AI Glasses

We launched Muse, a first-of-a-kind personal AI agent that proactively helps you meet your goals, earlier this month. At Connect, we announced we’re bringing Muse to our AI glasses in the coming months, so you’ll soon have easy access to your personal agent wherever you go. Mark Zuckerberg showed how Muse keeps getting better with new features, connectors, and a state-of-the-art model that brings your Muse to life.

 

Muse Charm

Muse Charm is a delightful and fun device built for you to talk and interact with your Muse. It brings the power of Muse with a state of the art real-time voice model into a device that fits in your pocket. We’ll have more to share later this year.

Glasses That Transform the VR Experience

Meta VR Glasses, our most advanced device yet, deliver a personal cinema, courtside seat, workspace, and gaming console, all in a pair of glasses that weighs about 100 grams, roughly the same as a deck of cards. The glasses are a breakthrough in form factor, enabling you to have immersive experiences while also being aware of what’s happening in your surroundings — without straps or heavy hardware on your face.

It’s the first IMAX Enhanced certified VR device, and will be one of the only ways to experience select films in IMAX’s exclusive expanded aspect ratio at home. We’re working with Prime Video, YouTube, DIRECTV, AMC+, Crunchyroll, Plex, ESPN, Tubi, and more to provide the best media lineup of any VR device. You’ll also be able to watch 3D content from Disney+, Peacock, HBO Max, and Paramount+.

We’ve worked with ESPN, MLB, NBC Sports, TNT Sports, UFC, and more to give you a front-row seat and more than 100 immersive live sports events each year.

Our VR Glasses also give you a screen wherever you are, so you have a personalized, private place to work. You can turn any flat surface into a keyboard and touchpad so you can get work done without carrying around extra hardware. 

Audio Glasses, New Features for Meta AI Glasses, and Tons of New Styles

We introduced Ray-Ban Meta Audio glasses, which pack the power of earbuds and AI into our lightest and slimmest AI glasses yet. You can listen to music and podcasts, take calls, and talk with your AI assistant hands-free, giving you on-the-go access to high-quality sounds without closing you off from the world around you. 

We also announced Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3), the next generation of our best-selling AI glasses, now with a slimmer, more comfortable design, longer battery life, and a new customizable action button for instant access to Meta AI. 

Our expanded glasses collection features a new Ivory colorway of Meta Glasses by Kylie Jenner as well as our first collaboration with international icon LISA; our most affordable pair of Meta Glasses yet; and tons of new colorways across styles, so you can find the glasses that fit you best. 

We also added hearing enhancement, an FDA-cleared software that helps adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss hear better, coming to supported AI glasses. Hearing enhancement can be set up at home in minutes — no clinic or prescription needed. Launching in the US later this year, hearing enhancement will be available to add to supported AI Glasses for $149.99 (HSA/FSA eligible*) or with a Meta One subscription. And we’re giving every AI glasses wearer more control over audio: shift the balance toward your left or right ear with the new audio balance feature, or route all sound to a single side with mono audio.

Updates to Meta Ray-Ban Display

We also announced updates to Meta Ray-Ban Display that make the glasses even more useful in your everyday life. We added new hands-free navigation features, a personalized hologram to help you stay connected on video calls, Dolby Atmos capture with spatial surround sound, and more. We’re also making them available to more people through online ordering and expansions to the UK, Canada, France, Italy, and Germany.

The Future of AI

By the end of this year, we’ll have more than 100 different options for AI glasses. And with access to Muse, we’re building personal superintelligence into devices that you can take with you wherever you go, and we think that’s something to look forward to.  

We’ll keep building, innovating, and finding new ways to make AI more accessible and helpful for everyone.  

*Hearing enhancement is eligible for HSA/FSA reimbursement. Check your plan to confirm eligibility.
