Meta Unveils Charm AI Gadget, VR Device and Camera-Free Smart Glasses

Mark Zuckerberg introduced Meta Charm, a handheld device for Meta's new Muse AI assistant, alongside VR and camera-free smart glasses.

Meta's hardware push now reaches beyond its successful smart glasses. On Wednesday, CEO Mark Zuckerberg presented Meta Charm, a small handheld gadget for using the company's new Muse AI assistant.

The Wednesday presentation also included Meta's first virtual-reality device slim enough to pass for glasses and a pair of camera-free smart glasses. The camera-free design was intended to ease the growing privacy backlash against AI devices that can record video or take pictures of people without consent.

Why This Matters

Meta's launch extends its AI hardware beyond its successful smart-glasses business and gives people a handheld way to use Muse. The camera-free glasses directly address the privacy backlash against AI devices that can record video or take pictures of people without consent. By presenting a camera-free option, Meta is changing the design of one part of its hardware range in response to that concern.
