Overview

• Unconfirmed reports say Meta will unveil its first display-equipped smart glasses, internally codenamed Hypernova, at next month’s Meta Connect event.
• Industry sources report the glasses will start at around $800, a steeper discount than earlier estimates of $1,000 to $1,400.
• Hypernova is expected to feature a single monocular display in the right lens for mini apps and notifications.
• User input is said to rely on an included wrist controller rather than on-frame touch or gestures.
• Meta reportedly plans to accept lower margins on the bridge device to accelerate consumer uptake before launching full AR headsets.
