Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has unveiled several new devices at the company’s annual Connect event, with artificial intelligence and wearable technology taking centre stage. The company introduced camera-free Ray-Ban smart glasses, the new Muse Charm AI device, upgraded Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 glasses and a new pair of VR glasses.
The Ray-Ban Meta Audio glasses are designed without a camera. Instead, they focus on audio features, allowing users to listen to music and podcasts, make calls and interact with Meta’s AI assistant. Meta says the glasses can provide up to 12 hours of battery life, while the charging case can extend total use to 48 hours. They weigh about 43 grams and support prescription lenses. Prices start at $349 (33,497rs), with shipping expected from October 13.
Meta also introduced the Muse Charm, a small AI-powered device designed to be carried in a pocket or attached to a keychain. It has a small touchscreen, speakers, microphones, 5G connectivity and a fingerprint sensor. Users can interact with Meta’s AI assistant without taking out their phones. Meta has not revealed the price yet but plans to launch it during the holiday season in December.
The company also announced new Meta VR Glasses, weighing around 100 grams. They support eye, voice and hand controls, streaming services and several VR games. An external device houses the processor, battery and storage. The glasses are expected to launch in spring 2027 at $1,299 (1,24,680rs)
Meta also launched the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3, featuring a 12-megapixel camera, 3K video recording, improved microphones and up to nine hours of battery life. Prices start at $449 (43,092rs)
With these launches, Meta is expanding its focus on AI, smart glasses and lighter virtual-reality devices.
