Meta has unveiled its new VR glasses, which weigh just 100 grams and include Micro OLED screens designed for high-quality multimedia experiences. These glasses, scheduled for release in 2027 at a price of $1,299, are designed to focus on immersive content by removing the need for a built-in battery or computer. The company aims to position the VR glasses as a competitor to augmented reality glasses, targeting applications in cinema, sports, and remote work.
In addition to the VR glasses, Meta launched its Muse application on September 8, 2026, in the United States. The app is designed to automate daily and repetitive tasks by using a virtual machine hosted in the cloud. Muse competes with popular AI tools like ChatGPT and has already exceeded its initial download numbers on the American App Store. This application is part of Meta's broader strategy to make up for its slower progress in artificial intelligence, relying on a business model that includes commissions and subscription fees.
Google has officially introduced the Googlebook, a new line of laptops that run a hybrid system combining Android and ChromeOS. These laptops feature five premium models with OLED screens, at least 16 GB of RAM, and metal chassis. Prices start at $899 and go up to $1,299, positioning the Googlebook as a competitor to the MacBook and high-end PCs. The experience is enhanced by Gemini, a central feature offering tools such as Magic Pointer, Magic Cues, and Create My Widget.
However, some functions of the Googlebook will require an internet connection, and these features will be limited or unavailable in the European Union at launch. This highlights the ongoing challenge of ensuring global accessibility and performance across different regions. Both Meta and Google are clearly aiming to capture market share in the evolving landscape of personal computing and immersive technology.
