Just a week after the Steam Frame presented Valve's vision for VR gaming, Meta is took the stage at Meta Connect 2026.
Rather than a followup to the Meta Quest 3, Meta debuted the Meta VR Glasses, which is super thin and light VR headset that you wear on your face like a regular pair of glasses. The focus on those seems to be professional work and watching movies, but Meta did confirm that there were new VR games coming to the platform. Plus, the entire Meta Quest library will work on the new glasses, though you might have to buy controllers to actually play them.
Beyond the new VR headset, the majority of the event focused on updates to Meta's lineup of smart glasses. While the existing Ray-Ban Meta glasses will be getting a new generation, Meta also announced Audio Glasses, camera-less smart glasses that are focused on delivering high-end audio.
Of course all of this is built to work with AI, and Meta is going to pair all of it with Muse, its new AI agent. It seems like you will be able to customise Muse quite a bit, but at least based on the live demos, it seems a little rough around the edges. But, that's of course something that Meta can improve over time.
7:59pm: And that's the show. We got a whole bunch of smart glasses and a genuinely fascinating VR headset. Again, if they're able to figure out light bleed, the Meta VR Glasses seem awesome.
