In hardware, Meta unveiled its most advanced VR glasses, weighing approximately 100 grams. These devices are the first IMAX Enhanced certified VR hardware, offering immersive media and sports experiences from partners like Prime Video, ESPN, and Disney+. The glasses also function as a portable workspace, allowing users to project a screen and keyboard onto flat surfaces. Additionally, Meta introduced Ray-Ban Meta Audio glasses, which combine earbud functionality with AI assistance, and a new hearing enhancement feature for supported devices.
The hearing enhancement software, which is FDA-cleared for mild to moderate hearing loss, will launch in the US later this year. It is available for $149.99 or as part of a Meta One subscription. Meta stated that by the end of 2026, it plans to offer more than 100 different options for AI glasses, aiming to embed personal superintelligence into everyday wearable devices.
