Meta is set to unveil its first-ever camera-free smart glasses at Connect 2026, marking a significant shift from previous AI-centric models. The two-day event runs from September 23 to 24, featuring a keynote from CEO Mark Zuckerberg. According to The Information, the unreleased model codenamed "Luna" will reportedly feature six built-in microphones, allowing users to interact with Meta's AI chatbot and the new Muse personal AI agent.

Beyond eyewear, attendees can expect the official reveal of the rumored mixed reality headset codenamed "Project Phoenix," described as a slimmer device though likely not shipping this year. The event will also highlight software updates for Quest headsets and the Meta Horizon Studio platform. Despite previous backlash regarding privacy concerns, Meta aims to rebrand its eyewear lineup.

Registration is open for the virtual livestream on Meta's website and the Meta for Developers Facebook page, with translations available for non-English speakers.
