Overview
Meta Nova is an upcoming pair of AI glasses from Meta, announced at Connect 2026. Scheduled for a September 2026 release, this device introduces a new style to Meta's wearable lineup. The glasses operate completely wire-free, featuring an integrated camera and open-ear audio speakers.
Designed to work alongside a companion phone, the glasses connect via Bluetooth to deliver assistant features through Meta AI and Muse. Because the model does not feature on-device AI processing, it relies on that paired mobile connection to process requests and manage smart tasks.
In the broader market, the Meta Nova targets screenless smart eyewear, skipping a visual display in favor of voice and audio interaction. While detailed technical specifications and official pricing remain unannounced, the frames position Meta for another audio-visual wearable release.
