- ~2-inch screen, cameras, mics, and a fingerprint-to-talk trigger: a voice-and-vision front end to Muse's cloud capabilities
- Phone-free, always-ready access for users without Meta glasses
- Price, battery life, on-device vs. cloud processing, and latency still undisclosed
- Analyst calls timing "fraught": AI Pin and Rabbit R1, the category's most visible predecessors, have failed
- Meta's service pricing expected to apply: free tier of 100 million tokens a week, paid tiers $20 and $100/month, plus a small merchant transaction fee
