What you need to know
- Meta has announced that it is preparing to release its Muse Spark AI on AI Glasses Gen 1 and Gen 2, but says its Ray-Ban Display will wait until the summer.
- The Muse Spark also gets an update that improves its voice chat capabilities and adds a handy shopping feature.
- Meta Connect 2026 is confirmed to take place on September 23-24.
Meta’s new LLM is the latest piece of AI software to take over its machines, and the company says it’s coming to its smart glasses as well.
It is safe to say that this update has already started to arrive slowly, so users with these models (Meta AI glasses Gen 1 and Gen 2) should not worry. A small thread on Reddit this was discussed, and one user got the update, but it seems unrelated. For now, the wait continues. Regarding the user’s question about the Ray-Ban Display sunglasses, Meta says that users with this model will have to wait until the summer for the Muse Spark to arrive.
Meta AI powered by Muse Spark will be gradually rolled out in the US and Canada on Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta glasses over the next few weeks. Coming to Meta Ray-Ban Display this summer.May 12, 2026
On Meta’s blog, it detailed the update users can expect from Muse Spark in the company’s AI app. Chief among the changes is an update to the AI voice chat capabilities. It says, “Muse Spark lets you speak naturally to the assistant—to interrupt, change topics, or change languages.” In addition, the AI is said to match your mind while you speak. Muse Spark can generate images or extract relevant information from the web during a conversation.
Meta’s Live AI makes the leap from its glasses to its AI app. This opens up the possibility to use your camera to find an object and ask the AI about it. The shopping update in this patch allows users to ask AI for help searching Facebook Marketplace or other online stores.
On a related note, Meta Connect 2026 is confirmed to take place on September 23-24. There, it has been teased that the Meta has VR, wearables, and AI reveals included for users and developers.
Android Central Take
It’s hard for me not to think that Meta feels inspired in some way by what Google has been doing. Making Muse Spark and positioning it as a “people first” AI just screams usability in everyday life. Meta wants this AI to be used for simple tasks, finding information, understanding, and the like. But, as always, I’m sure it won’t end there.
