Meta Unveils Muse AI, VR and Audio Glasses

Meta showed many new glasses and AI devices at its technology event.

Its Muse AI helper can do tasks like sending emails, booking trips and helping with workouts.

People can talk to Muse through the glasses without using their phones.

The glasses can also take better pictures and record sound in a special 360-degree format.

A hearing feature is designed to help some adults with mild to moderate hearing loss.

Meta introduced camera-free audio glasses for music, calls and AI conversations.

It also showed VR glasses that use a separate pocket computer for games, movies and work screens.

Another small device called Muse Charm will let people talk to Muse without a phone or glasses.

Some products are available soon, while the VR glasses are planned for 2027.
