Two, Muse AI is becoming a standalone gadget, coming to smart glasses, and getting video chat. Three, Meta's next VR device isn't a headset; it's mixed reality glasses. Quest headsets will also support movie rentals and purchases. The post is an RSS snippet, so specs, pricing, and launch dates aren't disclosed.
