Meta Unveils $1,299 VR Glasses and Pocket-Sized Muse AI Device
The Muse Charm accessory is expected to ship in December, offering voice access to Meta's personal AI assistant without opening an app.

Meta has unveiled a new pair of virtual reality glasses priced at $1,299, alongside a separate pocket-sized device called Muse Charm designed to give users voice access to the company's personal AI agent.
According to Anadolu Agency, Muse Charm is expected to begin shipping in December and is built to let users interact with Meta's AI assistant through voice commands without needing to open a dedicated app first.
Expanding Meta's Hardware Lineup
The new VR glasses add to Meta's growing portfolio of wearable hardware, as the company continues to push into both virtual and augmented reality alongside its consumer AI ambitions. The $1,299 price point positions the device at the higher end of the consumer VR market.
Muse Charm, meanwhile, represents a different approach to AI accessibility, aiming to make Meta's AI agent available through a compact, always-nearby form factor rather than requiring users to pick up a phone or headset to start a conversation with it.
Further specifications on the VR glasses' features, along with additional details on Muse Charm's capabilities beyond voice access, were not fully outlined in the initial announcement.
The launch comes as major technology companies continue to compete for position in both the wearable AI device market and the broader virtual and mixed reality space, with Meta among the most active players investing heavily in both areas.
