Zuckerberg unveils $1,299 Meta VR glasses and Muse Charm
At Meta Connect, Mark Zuckerberg unveiled new hardware, including the Meta VR Glasses, a lightweight 100-gram device priced at $1,299 in the US, available spring 2027, and the Muse Charm, a keychain-sized AI gadget with a display, microphones, cameras, and 5G, launching by end of 2025. The VR glasses use an external puck with a Qualcomm processor and battery, offering high-resolution visuals and eye/hand tracking. Additionally, Meta's AI glasses with a display will launch in Germany on October 13 for €899, and a camera-less audio version will also launch on October 13 to address privacy concerns. At Connect 2026, Muse Charm was showcased with a fingerprint sensor for AI interaction, and the Muse AI agent, launched earlier in September, has topped the App Store. Meta plans to integrate Muse into over 100 styles of AI glasses by end of 2026, and analysts note a monetization strategy with transaction fees. However, Amazon blocked Muse from scanning its site, and skepticism remains about market demand.
Amazon Blocks Meta's Muse AI Agent from Shopping
Meta's AI shopping agent Muse, which launched on iPhone and Android in September and as a dedicated iPad app on October 7, has surpassed 6.6 million installs and topped Apple's App Store with over 900,000 downloads, boosting Meta's stock over 20%. However, Muse faces increasing barriers as sites like Amazon block or restrict AI agents due to policy violations, security concerns, and unauthorized access, threatening ad revenue and Meta's monetization through transaction fees. To address these challenges, Meta, Walmart, Stripe, Sierra, and others are developing an open standard for agent-to-business communication, while Cloudflare's crawler changes and airline restrictions also affect AI agents. Despite these obstacles, Meta has partnered with major retailers including Walmart, Best Buy, Gap, Sephora, Wayfair, Expedia, Instacart, Ticketmaster, and more, and recently expanded connectors to small business tools. Regulatory and legal challenges, including a $17 billion settlement over child safety, persist.
