Meta has unveiled a new lineup of wearable devices, including the Muse Charm, a small pendant-like accessory that gives users on-the-go access to its Muse AI. Engadget compared the Charm to a Tamagotchi, referencing the compact handheld toys of the late 1990s.
Alongside the Charm, Meta launched the Ray-Ban Meta Audio, a pair of smart glasses that omit the built-in camera found on the company's other models. Android Authority reported that the audio-only design sidesteps the privacy concerns tied to camera-equipped eyewear. According to the outlet, the glasses weigh 43 grams, lighter than Meta's camera-equipped models, which range between 51.5 and 53.8 grams.
The Ray-Ban Meta Audio includes adjustable temple tips for comfort, though the adjustments are not user-serviceable and require a professional to modify.
