Meta is expanding its AI ambitions with a new wave of the latest devices and features built around its Muse AI assistant during its Connect event on Wednesday.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other officials highlighted a vision in which Muse becomes an integral part of everyday technology, working across several devices, including computers, and phones.
Meta releases new VR glasses with advanced technology
Meta launched lightweight virtual reality glasses that incorporate Muse and are designed for tasks like playing games, watching movies, and making video calls.
Moreover, users can ask Muse to write emails, edit docs and schedule meetings while staying focused on other activities.
The glasses will be available for $1,299 when they launch in spring.
Additionally, the latest gap is gaining new shopping capabilities via collaborations with Walmart, GameStop, Gap and Wayfair.
Users will be able to ask the AI assistant to search these stores and buy products.
Alongside the significant update, Meta plans to allow Muse operate Mac applications on users’ behalf, expanding its ability to manage files, messages, and calendars.
Meta launches Ray-Ban smart glasses with cutting-edge technology
Meta also announced the latest Ray-Ban smart glasses. A camera-free audio-only model will release October 13 for $349, while the camera-equipped Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 starts at $449.
For users who do not want to wear smart glasses, Meta is also developing Muse Charm, a tiny keychain-sized device that allows people to communicate with Muse without opening a phone or app.
Despite privacy concerns surrounding AI glasses and growing public unease regarding autonomous AI agents, Meta continues to push ahead.
A report suggested Muse has exceeded nearly 2.5 million downloads, while Zuckerberg stated he expects billions of people to eventually use the AI assistant.
