Meta adds Muse AI to smart glasses

Meta Connect 2026: A New Era for Smart Glasses

Meta's annual Connect event has brought a wave of new updates and features to its smart glasses, including the introduction of its Muse AI agent. The agent, which was launched earlier this month, will be integrated with Meta's smart glasses line, allowing users to access a range of features and tasks hands-free. According to Meta, Muse will be able to guide users through personalized workouts, log meals, and provide nutritional insights, among other tasks, as reported by TechCrunch.

New Accessibility Features

In addition to the Muse AI agent, Meta has also introduced new accessibility features, including a Hearing Enhancement mode. This mode, which is FDA-cleared, is designed to help adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss. It will be available later this year with a Meta One subscription or as a $149 add-on for compatible glasses, as stated by Meta. Meta has also improved its audio customization options, allowing users to shift their smart glasses' volume between their left and right ears, as reported by The Verge.

Camera and Navigation Capabilities

Meta's smart glasses will also feature new camera and navigation capabilities. The company has introduced Dolby Atmos Capture, which will allow users to record videos with 360-degree spatial audio, as reported by The Verge. A new Dynamic Photo feature will automatically capture multiple frames when users take a photo with Meta's glasses, then use Meta AI to suggest the best frame from each batch. Additionally, Meta's smart glasses will feature real-time cycling or public transit directions, allowing users to navigate their surroundings more easily, as stated by Meta.

Muse AI Agent: A Personal Superintelligence

Meta's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has described the Muse AI agent as a "personal superintelligence" that will be able to help users accomplish their goals and improve their lives, as reported by TechCrunch. The agent will be able to connect with a range of apps and services, including email and calendars, and will be able to operate in the background, checking in with users when it's finished with a task. According to Zuckerberg, Muse will be able to make money for its users, and will eventually generate revenue for Meta through a small fee on transactions.
