Meta unveils $1,299 VR glasses and Muse Charm pendant in AI agent push

Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg used the company's Connect conference to introduce a new line of virtual reality glasses priced at $1,299, alongside a companion wearable device called the Muse Charm pendant.

The announcements are part of a broader push by Meta to place artificial intelligence agents at the center of its hardware strategy, according to CNBC. Zuckerberg framed the new devices as extensions of Meta's effort to build AI agents that people can carry with them throughout the day.

Specific technical details of the VR glasses, along with a firm release date and rollout plan, were not disclosed in the initial announcement. The Muse Charm pendant was described as a companion device tied to Meta's AI agent ambitions, though further specifics on its functionality were not immediately outlined.

The unveiling comes as major technology companies continue to compete for position in the emerging wearable AI device market, with Meta betting that AI agents built into everyday hardware will become a significant area of growth.

Meta has not yet confirmed when the new devices will become available to consumers.
