Meta Connect 2026 was a 55-minute keynote. Here is what actually shipped, with prices and dates, in the order it was announced. The full recap with timestamps into the keynote video is here: Meta Connect 2026: the 55-minute keynote in 5 minutes.
1. Muse gets computer use, email and shopping
Muse is the personal agent Meta launched a few weeks ago, and it was the center of the whole show. New today:
- Computer use. With your permission Muse can drive any app on your Mac and keeps working on queued jobs after you walk away. The Mac app itself launched last week.
- Its own email address. Add Muse to a thread or forward mail and it handles it for you. Launch connectors: Spotify, OpenTable, Plaid, Ticketmaster. The connector platform is open, with 1,500+ apps already.
- Shopping. Deep partnerships with Stripe and Shopify: Muse browses the Shopify catalog and buys with Link and Shop Pay, PayPal coming. Walmart, Best Buy, Gap, Sephora and Wayfair are integrating.
- Voice. You design your Muse's voice, and a real-time model animates its avatar while you talk.
Each Muse runs on its own Muse Secure VM. A Confidential VM is coming so nobody, including Meta, can read your data. Free for a large token allowance; Meta plans to take a small fee on transactions. Just rolled out in Canada.
2. Ray-Ban Meta Audio: glasses with no camera
A new category. Drop the camera and you get the thinnest, lightest Ray-Ban Meta yet with a full day of battery, built around Muse, music and calls. The reworked electronics fit classic shapes like the Clubmaster.
$349. Pre-order now, ships October 13.
3. Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3
The whole Ray-Ban Meta line moves to Gen 3: slimmer frame and temples, adjustable temple tips, better battery, Dolby Atmos spatial audio capture, and microphones that Meta says work on a jet ski. Two new shapes for the first time: Aviator and Zena, plus a 90th-anniversary launch edition Aviator.
$449. Available now.
4. Meta Glasses lineup: 51 styles, Adventurer from $249
The Meta Glasses line from June grows to 51 style combinations. New frames Capri (cat-eye) and Nova (panto), an ivory colorway with Kylie Jenner, and a LISA edition with a custom case and unlockable app features. By year end Meta will sell over 100 styles across Display, audio, Ray-Ban, Oakley and Meta Glasses.
From $249. Adventurer ships October 23.
5. Meta Ray-Ban Display is finally in stock
The Display glasses with the Neural Band sold out for most of the year. Supply has caught up: on sale online at meta.com in the US, Canada and UK, with France, Italy and Germany on October 13. Hologram video calls from the glasses are coming.
6. Meta VR Glasses: 100 grams, $1,299.99, spring 2027
The big reveal. About 100 grams on your face, a fifth of Quest 3, with compute and battery moved off the face into a tethered puck. Muse is built into the OS. Input is eyes, hands and voice, including typing on any flat surface (Meta's CFO reportedly hit 120 wpm).
Content: first IMAX Enhanced certified VR device with Dolby Vision and Atmos, 75 hands-only launch titles, the full Quest library with optional controllers, Xbox Cloud Gaming, a Disney+ 3D app, ESPN front-row 180-degree live games at no extra cost, and full-body hologram calling.
$1,299.99 (from the press release). Ships spring 2027.
7. Muse Charm: the agent on a keychain
The closer. The real-time voice and avatar stack squeezed into a keychain: tap the fingerprint sensor and talk, no phone needed. Materials are still being finalized.
Price not announced. Planned for the December holidays.
Three prices above ($349, $449 and the exact $1,299.99) came from Meta's newsroom posts, not the stage. Everything else is from the keynote, and the full recap links each claim to the exact second in the video, with a chapter list and FAQ. It was built by running the keynote through Summarize Video To Text and hand-checking the numbers.
