At Meta Connect 2026, Meta introduced new Ray-Ban models and a virtual reality headset while bringing its artificial intelligence agent Muse to glasses. The company’s September 23 announcements stated that Türkiye was also included in the expansion plan for some smart glasses by the end of the year.
- Muse is being designed to carry out tasks assigned by the user rather than merely answering questions. Users will be able to request actions without separately describing the object they see. It was not announced whether the features would be made available in every country and language on the same date.
- Muse Charm is a pocket-sized device designed for speaking with the agent. Its technical specifications, price and release date have not yet been announced.
- Ray-Ban Meta Audio is a 43-gram audio-focused model that does not include a camera. It offers open-ear speakers, up to 12 hours of battery life and an additional 48 hours of use with the case. Available in 23 color and lens combinations, it has a US starting price of 349 dollars; shipping will begin on October 13.
- The third-generation Ray-Ban Meta features a 12-megapixel camera, 3K Ultra HD video, up to nine hours of battery life and a customizable action button. The six-microphone system is said to reduce noise by more than 90%. Available in 27 color and lens combinations, it is priced at 449 dollars; sales have begun.
- The approximately 100-gram Meta VR Glasses are scheduled to launch in spring 2027.
The event also showcased real-time audio, an interactive avatar and computer use on Mac.
Why it matters
These announcements show Meta’s move to link AI to task execution through glasses, rather than leaving it as merely a tool for conversation. This makes the development important not only for users following smart glasses, but also for those who want to know in which countries and languages Muse’s task features will be available. While Turkey’s inclusion in the expansion plan offers a possibility in terms of access, the fact that the features will not be made available simultaneously by country and language leaves the scope of use uncertain. The distinction between Audio, which does not include a camera, and the third-generation model with a camera creates different options in terms of how the products are used and their prices. The technical details, price and sales date of Muse Charm, as well as the planned launch of the VR glasses, remain issues awaiting answers regarding accessibility.
