Meta keynote: Muse tops US App Store, $1,299 VR glasses due spring 2027, plus AI wearable pendant
kimmonismus · x · 2026-09-25
Creator kimmonismus, invited to Meta's keynote (and to meet Zuckerberg), argues Meta is shifting from follower to frontrunner:
- Muse has hit #1 on the US iOS App Store, with enthusiasm around the Mac app; Meta leans on its distribution moat (in-app and WhatsApp messaging) to make agentic AI approachable, using models that are good enough rather than frontier.
- New VR glasses: an Apple-style "one more thing" moment — $1,299.99, launching spring 2027, 100g on your face with a separate compute/battery puck; early testers reportedly preferred them to Vision Pro.
- AI hardware: the Jolly avatar with agent integration and virtual screens, plus previews of Muse Charm and a wearable AI pendant for delegating tasks — a first-mover move ahead of OpenAI. More details later this year.
