Meta Smart wearables Wearables Announcement

Meta has announced two new pairs of smart glasses at Meta Connect 2026. The company unveiled its first camera-free, audio-only Ray Ban Meta Audio, along with a new pair of virtual reality glasses simply called Meta VR Glasses.

The Meta VR Glasses use a two-part system, with the glasses housing the display and sensors, while a connected puck handles the computing and houses the storage and battery. The glasses connect to the puck via an optical cable.

Thanks to this two-part design, the glasses themselves weigh just 100 grams. They feature micro OLED displays with 5K resolution and 37 pixels per degree, along with support for Dolby Vision.
