Meta's smart glasses are about to get a lot more conversational. According to The Verge's Stevie Bonifield, just weeks after launching Muse, Meta confirmed it is "working on" bringing the agent to its smart glasses lineup, including the new frames shown at Meta Connect 2026. Users will be able to wake Muse by name and ask it to guide a workout, log a meal, or help shop for something they're looking at. The phrasing is careful: this is a work in progress, not a shipped feature yet. But it signals where Meta wants to take wearable AI.
Muse lands on the frames
Muse is the standalone AI agent Meta introduced earlier this month. On glasses, it would turn a passive camera and microphone into an active assistant. You could, for example, ask it to log what you're eating while it watches the plate in front of you, or get coaching cues mid-workout. Meta is positioning Muse as a natural extension of its Ray-Ban and Oakley models, though the company has not given a specific rollout timeline.
The broader AI stack is also getting sharper. Meta AI will deliver "more context-rich answers" when users ask what they're looking at. For blind and low-vision users, that could mean more useful descriptions of the world around them. It's part of a wave of accessibility and camera updates arriving across the glasses line.
Accessibility, audio, and capture upgrades
Meta is adding a Hearing Enhancement feature described as FDA-cleared software for adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss. It will be available later this year either with a Meta One subscription or as a $149 add-on for compatible glasses. The same update brings audio customization that lets users shift volume between left and right ears, including sending all audio to one side—useful for people with single-sided hearing.
On the media side, several new features stand out:
- Dolby Atmos Capture records videos with 360-degree spatial audio, making playback feel more immersive.
- Dynamic Photo automatically captures multiple frames per shot and uses Meta AI to suggest the best one.
- Hologram is coming to Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses: a photorealistic digital version of your face for calls that infers expression from your voice. It rolls out in Early Access on WhatsApp to US users later this fall.
Navigation and display tweaks
The Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses are getting a navigation overhaul. Starting later this month in the US and Canada, users can ask for real-time cycling or public transit directions by voice. For walking directions, the display will stop relying solely on street signs and instead reference what the glasses see—a blue house, a parked car, a nearby landmark—making turn-by-turn guidance feel more grounded in the physical world.
Other incoming display features include photo editing directly on the glasses, a new Explore app for discovering apps, an improved calendar, and phone notification mirroring. It's a dense update cycle, and not everything is available at once. But the throughline is clear: Meta is treating its smart glasses less like a camera you wear and more like a full wearable computer with an AI agent waiting to be summoned.
