Meta uses its annual Meta Connect event to unveil a new set of wearables and related features. The event’s main focus is new Meta VR Glasses, which bring virtual-reality capabilities into a lightweight, smart-glasses-style frame paired with a tethered puck. Meta also announces additional models of smart glasses designed to be “screen-free.”
Beyond the wearable hardware, Meta highlights other capabilities tied to the event’s theme of more immersive experiences. Outlets report Meta also discusses “immersive programming,” along with further AI-related announcements, though the exact details vary by outlet’s coverage. Overall reporting emphasizes that the company is broadening its glasses options—adding VR glasses plus multiple screen-free designs—while positioning the lineup as part of a wider push toward AI-enhanced and immersive content.
Across sources, the common through-line is that Meta Connect 2026 centers on new glasses products and the expansion of software or programming experiences intended to work with them.
