Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg surprised attendees at the company's annual device event by introducing a sleek handheld gadget called Meta Charm. The new AI device will be paired with Meta's Muse AI assistant and will be available for purchase in time for the holiday season, though a specific price point has not been disclosed. The Meta Charm measures roughly the same dimensions as an Apple AirPods case.
In addition to the Charm, Meta showcased virtual-reality glasses designed to work with the company's VR console. Priced at $1,299, these glasses aim to compete with larger, more expensive options like Apple's Vision Pro. The VR glasses weigh about as much as a deck of playing cards, a feat achieved by relocating the battery and processor into a separate component.
These glasses, which appear as dark, wraparound frames, can be controlled through eye, voice, and hand gestures. They are expected to hit the mainstream in spring 2027.
