Unlike Google, Meta has had more luck with its wearables, like the Ray-Ban smart glasses. Smart glasses seem like a novelty. However, with a relatively affordable price tag and a fashionable design, we can understand why and how it has managed to appeal to many. Meta is reportedly working on new smart glasses, and a new leak has exposed the potential design of the upcoming Hypernova.
Meta Hypernova smart glasses
If you have been following the rumors, you know that Meta isn’t stopping at Ray-Bans when it comes to wearables. So far, what we know about Hypernova is that these are updated pairs of Ray-Bans with a built-in display. Now, thanks to an image shared by Arsene Lupin on X, the design of the Meta Hypernova smart glasses might have been revealed.
The image quality isn’t the best, so we can’t really see the details of these upcoming smart glasses. However, its design doesn’t look too different from the current pair of Meta Ray-Bans. But like we said, the rumors suggest that the main difference is that these glasses will feature a built-in display.
The current model doesn’t have a built-in display. It has a camera for livestreaming and recording, along with speakers and a microphone for calls and interaction with Meta AI. Including a display could open up the glasses to more possibilities. However, the leaked image isn’t detailed enough to tell whether or not the glasses has a display, but it could be our first look at it.
The post also features a band along with the image of the glasses. We’re unsure what it’s supposed to do, but maybe there are built-in sensors that allow users to use gestures to control the glasses and interact with the display.
Are wearables the future?
Meta is definitely pushing its wearables hard. The upcoming Hypernova is just one of several glasses the company has in development. Last we heard, Meta has three smart glasses in the pipeline. One is the Hypernova, then there is apparently the Hypernova 2, and last but not least is the Orion, a pair of augmented reality glasses.
Meta isn’t alone in chasing the wearables market. Other companies have dipped their toes in as well. This includes Xiaomi, which recently launched the Xiaomi AI Glasses. We have also heard that Apple is exploring the idea of smart glasses. Google and Samsung are also working on a mixed reality headset called Project Moohan that will run on Google’s Android XR platform.
