nordicinst · x · 2026-09-24
At Meta Connect, Zuckerberg announced a privacy-conscious hardware refresh: Ray-Ban Meta Audio, Meta's first camera-free smart glasses; Meta VR Glasses, a strapless goggles-style headset five times lighter than Quest 3, controlled by hand gestures and compatible with old Quest and Xbox controllers; third-gen Ray-Ban Meta glasses; and the Muse AI agent coming to the glasses platform. WIRED notes the form factor echoes Viture and Xreal's lightweight mixed-reality approach, and flags ongoing tension between EU privacy rules and smart-glasses data collection.
