Overview

• According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Meta is expected to unveil Hypernova, its first smart glasses with an integrated display, at its Meta Connect event in September.
• The glasses are reported to start at about $800, a significant cut from earlier $1,000-plus estimates, reflecting a deliberate low-margin pricing strategy to grow the market.
• Hypernova embeds a single small display in the right lens for notifications, navigation prompts and mini-apps rather than full-immersion augmented reality.
• Users are expected to control the glasses through a bundled neural wristband that senses subtle hand and wrist gestures to navigate interfaces.
• The device is being positioned as a bridge between Meta’s camera-only Ray-Ban smart glasses and future high-end AR headsets such as its Orion prototypes.
