Meta Bringing Muse AI Agent to Smart Glasses With New Audio, Navigation, and Accessibility Features
Meta’s glasses will gain FDA-cleared Hearing Enhancement for adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss, available later this year via Meta One or a $149 add-on. Updates also include Dolby Atmos Capture and WhatsApp Hologram calls.
Meta announced in September 2026 that it is working on bringing its Muse AI agent to its smart glasses lineup, including new models unveiled at Meta Connect. The announcement came just weeks after Muse’s initial launch.
Users will be able to activate Muse by saying its name and use it to handle tasks such as guiding workouts, logging meals, and helping identify products they are looking at. Muse is one of several updates Meta is rolling out across its glasses range.
On the accessibility front, Meta is adding a Hearing Enhancement feature described as FDA-cleared software for adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss. It will be available later this year through a Meta One subscription or as a $149 add-on for compatible glasses. Meta AI will also provide more context-rich answers when users ask what they are looking at, which may make the glasses more useful for blind and low-vision users. A new audio customization option will let users shift volume between their left and right ears, including routing all audio to one side.
New media features include Dolby Atmos Capture for recording video with 360-degree spatial audio, and a Dynamic Photo feature that captures multiple frames per shot and uses Meta AI to suggest the best one.
The Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses are receiving a “Hologram” feature for WhatsApp calls that generates a photorealistic digital version of the user’s face, inferring expressions from voice. It is rolling out in Early Access to US users later this fall.
Navigation updates for the Ray-Ban Display include voice-activated cycling and public transit directions for users in the US and Canada, available starting later in September 2026. Turn-by-turn walking directions will reference real-world landmarks detected by the glasses rather than street signs. Additional Ray-Ban Display features include in-display photo editing, an app discovery tool called Explore, an improved calendar, and phone notification mirroring.
