Release Date for Meta’s Anticipated Smart Glasses with a Display Becomes Clearer

Meta plans to deliver a display experience to users with its Hypernova smart glasses. According to new information, the Meta Hypernova smart glasses could be unveiled in September.

Meta is preparing to introduce its long-rumored smart glasses with a display, Hypernova, next month. According to a report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the device will be offered at a more affordable price than previously estimated.

Hypernova will be a high-end version of the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses and will feature a small display in the lower part of the right lens, visible only to the user. This display can be controlled by a wristband accessory called Ceres, which was first introduced in 2022.

The device will feature a Qualcomm processor and run on a special version of Android. On the main screen, apps will be listed horizontally. There will also be special applications for the camera, gallery, and artificial intelligence. For a smoother user experience, there will also be capacitive touch controls on both sides of the glasses.

Expected to be Introduced in September

Initially, in April, it was stated that Hypernova would be priced in the $1000–$1400 range. However, according to sources close to the company, Meta has significantly reduced the price to boost demand. Accordingly, the glasses will be sold for $800. This pricing places it at the same level as the iPhone 16. Style options and prescription lenses will be priced separately.

The new report indicates that the launch will take place next month, contrary to the previously uncertain timeline. This development comes approximately two months after Meta introduced its first smart glasses under the Oakley brand. The Oakley model is available starting at $499 and offers more advanced features compared to the Ray-Ban Smart Glasses, specifically targeting athletes.

Meta is also working on Project Orion. Introduced at last year’s Meta Connect event, Orion aims to offer the advantages of the Quest 3 VR headset in a lighter and more stylish glasses form factor. CEO Mark Zuckerberg describes this device as “the most advanced glasses the world has ever seen” and emphasizes that the future of computing will be shaped by such devices.
