CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Muse, an AI personal assistant, and teased a smaller, puck-like device called Muse Charm for the holiday season. The audio glasses, priced at $349, will ship on October 13, while display glasses priced from $799 will soon be available in new markets. Meta's VR glasses, lighter than its Quest headsets, are set to launch in spring 2027. The company faces privacy and safety challenges, having settled a lawsuit in August and facing restrictions and bans abroad.",
