Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg showed off the chunky, screen-equipped pendant at the end of the Meta Connect presentation. The device, which looks like a smartwatch without a strap, will be sold in partnership with EssilorLuxottica and is set to ship in December. Zuckerberg described the Muse Charm as the
fastest way to talk to your Muse
and to show what's going on around you,
if you're not wearing glasses. The AI assistant is already the most downloaded app in the US, and Meta hopes the new hardware will make it even more central to users' daily lives. The company also announced that Muse will be available on its smart glasses soon, allowing users to have hyper-realistic digital avatars during video calls.
