Muse is coming to Meta smart glasses

Meta said it is working to bring its recently launched AI assistant, Muse, to its smart glasses, including the new models unveiled at Meta Connect. Once integrated, users will be able to activate Muse by speaking its name and request assistance with tasks such as workout guidance, meal logging, or finding and purchasing products in their field of view. Beyond the AI agent, Meta is introducing a set of accessibility-oriented upgrades for its glasses lineup. A Hearing Enhancement feature, which Meta describes as FDA-cleared software for adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss, will roll out later this year. That capability will be available through the Meta One subscription or as a $149 add-on for compatible glasses. Meta also says its AI will provide richer contextual answers about what the wearer is looking at, which the company frames as helpful for blind and low-vision users. Multimedia and interaction features are also part of the update. The company is adding Dolby Atmos Capture to enable recording with 360-degree spatial audio, and a Dynamic Photo mode that captures multiple frames per shot and uses Meta AI to recommend the best image. Users will gain finer audio control, including the ability to shift sound between ears or route all audio to one side. The Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses will receive additional software features. A Hologram option — a photorealistic digital face avatar that infers expression from voice — is slated for early access on WhatsApp for Ray-Ban Display users in the U.S. later this fall. Navigation updates include voice-activated cycling and transit directions in the U.S. and Canada, and a walking-directions mode that references real-world objects (like a house, car, or landmark) detected by the glasses instead of relying solely on street signs. Other incoming improvements include photo editing on-device, an Explore app for discovering apps, an improved calendar, and phone-notification mirroring.
