Meta's Muse AI agent now coming to its smart glasses lineup

Meta plans to bring Muse, its recently launched AI agent, to its smart glasses platform. Users will be able to summon the agent by voice and ask it to perform everyday tasks—from guiding fitness routines to recording meal data or helping with shopping decisions for items in their field of view.

New Accessibility and Audio Features#

Meta is rolling out a suite of improvements aimed at users with different accessibility needs. The company has developed an FDA-cleared software feature for hearing enhancement, targeting adults with mild to moderate hearing loss. This will launch later this year as either a $149 add-on or through a Meta One subscription on compatible devices.

The glasses' AI will also deliver more contextually detailed responses when users ask about their surroundings, benefiting those with low vision or blindness who rely on the device to interpret their environment. A fresh audio tuning option lets wearers balance sound between their left and right ears or route everything to a single side.

Capture and Photography Upgrades#

Meta is introducing spatial audio recording through Dolby Atmos Capture, enabling 360-degree sound in videos. A new Dynamic Photo feature automatically records multiple frames when a photo is taken, then uses AI to recommend the sharpest or best-composed option from each sequence.

Virtual Presence and Navigation#

The Meta Ray-Ban Display is gaining a "Hologram" feature that creates a photorealistic digital representation of the wearer's face for video calls. The system infers facial expressions from voice tone and is rolling out in Early Access on WhatsApp for US users this fall.

Navigation is also improving with voice-controlled directions for cycling and public transit routes in the US and Canada, starting later this month. Rather than relying solely on street signs, turn-by-turn walking directions will reference real-world landmarks, buildings, or vehicles the glasses detect in front of the user. Additional features in development include on-device photo editing, a new app discovery tool, a redesigned calendar, and phone notification mirroring.
