Overview

  • Multiple outlets, citing Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, report an unveiling at Meta Connect in September, with official details still unconfirmed.
  • The glasses are reportedly built around a small display in the right lens to show mini apps, navigation prompts, and notifications.
  • Control is expected to come via a bundled sEMG wristband called Ceres, with additional touch input on the frame.
  • Hardware leaks point to a Qualcomm chip and a customized Android-based system with cameras and Meta AI features.
  • The $800 price is described as a starting point that could rise with prescription lenses or designer frames, positioning the device as a bridge to Meta’s future Orion AR line and far cheaper than Apple’s $3,499 Vision Pro.
