At Meta Connect 2026, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the company's new generation of smart glasses, part of his vision for "Personal Superintelligence" powered by its Muse AI agent.

In total, the company announced three new glasses — Meta Ray-Ban Gen 3, Meta VR Glasses, and Meta Audio Glasses —  and offered an update on the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses announced last year.

Despite a growing privacy backlash toward against smart glasses, Zuckerberg presented smart glasses as the future of personal computing. He said that 2 billion people already wear glasses, and that he believes they will win out over other types of AI wearables.

"We think that glasses are going to be the biggest category because, first of all, they already are, and second, they are the only form factor that lets your Muse see what you see, hear what you hear, talk to you throughout the day, and display information right in your vision, eventually," Zuckerberg said during his keynote presentation.

In addition to the new glasses, Zuckerberg introduced a variety of new styles for Meta's glasses and a collaboration with Blackpink's Lisa. The CEO said more than 100 different styles of Meta smart glasses will soon be available to customers.

The third generation of Meta's signature smart glasses offers key upgrades and design changes, including:

Fashion was a key focus of the presentation. Zuckerberg emphasized that new styles will be available, such as Ray-Ban aviators, Zena, and a limited edition with a classic look for the launch.
