Meta appears to be expanding its wearable ambitions beyond smart glasses. New details emerging from an internal company memo suggest that the social media giant is working on additional AI-powered hardware, including a wearable pendant and new smart glasses. The developments indicate that Meta is looking to strengthen its position in the growing AI wearables segment.
Meta’s wearable plans extend beyond smart glasses
According to The Information, Meta is developing an AI-powered pendant that could enter testing within the next year. The device is expected to build on technology acquired through Meta’s purchase of Limitless, a startup known for creating a wearable pendant capable of recording conversations and generating summaries. The wearable could be clipped onto clothing or worn around the neck, potentially acting as a personal AI assistant throughout the day.
The same memo reportedly reveals that Meta is preparing several new smart glasses models scheduled for launch by the end of 2026. While details remain limited, the devices are expected to continue Meta’s focus on AI-powered experiences, building on the success of its Ray-Ban smart glasses. The company is also said to be exploring a new subscription service called Wearables for Work, aimed at business users seeking productivity-focused tools.
The enterprise-focused subscription could bring features such as meeting transcription, note-taking assistance and integration with workplace platforms. Such capabilities would position Meta’s wearable products as productivity tools rather than purely consumer gadgets. This strategy could help the company expand its reach into professional environments where hands-free access to information may prove useful.
Meta’s wearable portfolio already includes smart glasses and virtual reality products, while reports suggest other hardware projects are also in development. However, AI pendants have faced challenges in the past, with several competing products struggling to gain mainstream adoption. Privacy concerns surrounding continuous audio recording are also likely to remain a key discussion point as these devices evolve.
