Meta is set to unveil new products at its Meta Connect 2026 event. According to Techmeme, a new pair of Meta Glasses without cameras onboard and a new VR headset are expected to be launched. IGN reports that the VR headset, codenamed "XR Phoenix," will focus on passive entertainment rather than gaming.

The event, which will be streamed on Meta's website and Facebook, is also expected to feature discussions on AI. Tom's Guide notes that smart glasses have raised concerns about covert recording, with Qualcomm's SVP and GM of XR, Ziad Asghar, defending the category.

Meta has also been working on a new AI agent called Muse, which has been tested as a potential replacement for Meta AI on smart glasses, according to Android Authority. The AI agent is expected to have features such as Live AI, turn-by-turn navigation, and integrations with Strava and Health Connect.
