Meta is planning to launch a high-end ‘Hypernova’ smart glasses with a display, which will be also be able to run built-in apps.
Meta’s Ray-Ban AI smart glasses, starting at $299, have been a surprise hit. People prefer their lightweight design over bulkier headsets like the Apple Vision Pro, which, in the current scenario, is struggling to sell. Basking in the success of Ray-Ban AI smart glasses, Meta is reportedly planning to launch a premium pair of AR glasses called « Hypernova. »
The Hypernova AR glasses will feature a smart display and are expected to launch as early as the end of this year. According to a report by Bloomberg, the Meta Hypernova smart glasses could be priced over $1,000, and might even touch the $1,300-$1,400 mark, equivalent to a flagship phone.
Meta has a bunch of features that they expect could justify the premium pricing. For starters, the Hypernova smart glasses will run built-in apps such as WhatsApp, Maps, and Messenger. Plus, Hypernova AR glasses will also have the ability to display apps and photos directly on their smart display.
