The 10 biggest announcements from Meta Connect

Meta is launching VR glasses, more "immersive programming," and more styles of smart glasses than ever before.

Meta held its Connect event, unveiling a range of new products and services. The company's new VR-focused device, the Meta VR Glasses, were a highlight. Weighing just 100 grams, these glasses offer a private cinema, computer, and console in one lightweight package. They feature a 5K Infinite Display with 37 pixels per degree and can project a virtual keyboard for easy interaction.

Meta's AI assistant, Muse, is now more accessible on these glasses, allowing users to talk or use natural motions to control the device. A small handheld device called the Muse Charm lets users activate Muse without pulling out their phone. Meta also announced audio-only smart glasses, promising immersive environments in Disney's biggest franchises.

The Meta Muse AI agent, integrated into Ray-Ban glasses, will offer hands-free assistance with tasks like personalized workouts and navigation. Additionally, Meta will bring immersive entertainment to classic films like Star Wars and Marvel's The Avengers, transforming viewers' surroundings with dynamic effects and spatial audio.
