Overview

  • Meta's Hypernova smart glasses will include a monocular display located in the lower-right quadrant of the right lens, allowing users to view apps and notifications by looking downward.
  • The glasses will be priced between $1,000 and $1,400, a significant increase from the $299 starting price of Meta's Ray-Ban glasses.
  • Users can control the glasses through capacitive touch controls on the frame and a bundled neural wristband, codenamed Ceres, which enables gesture-based interactions.
  • The device will run on a customized version of Android but will not feature an integrated app store, limiting app access to pre-installed options and phone notifications.
  • Meta is also developing a second-generation model, Hypernova 2, with a binocular display system, planned for release in 2027.
