Meta Hypernova glasses: Everything we know

Meta logo on smartphone screen

There's a big Meta product showcase this week, and it might include something very new from the company.

Specifically, Wednesday's Meta Connect showcase is rumored to feature information on the company's Hypernova smart glasses, which have been detailed in plenty of leaks and rumors, but not in any official announcements yet. There isn't a ton to know about this device until Meta (presumably) lifts the veil officially on Wednesday, but there is some information to go off of.

Specifically, rumor has it the Meta Hypernova will be the first Meta smart glasses with a built-in display. That would be a major upgrade over the Meta Oakley and Ray-Ban glasses, and put Meta in competition with futuristic upstarts like Xreal.

Here's what we know about the next generation of Meta smart glasses.

Meta Hypernova glasses: Price

Some of the most firm reporting we have on the Hypernova smart glasses regards the price.

Namely, reporting from earlier this summer suggested that the device will retail for $800. They were apparently going to cost more than $1,000 originally, but Meta reportedly wants to boost demand for the device and is willing to eat some profits if that's what it takes. That may be a savvy move, given the total lack of staying power the $3,500 Apple Vision Pro had.

Meta Hypernova glasses: Design and features

Aside from the price, there is, unfortunately, not a ton of hard information out there about what to expect from the Hypernova glasses, aside from an idea of what they look like and a basic outlook on what they'll do.

Back in July, a leaker called Luna posted renders on X that purportedly show the device. It looks a lot like the Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses, but there's also a sort of wristband pictured alongside it. We'll get to that in a minute.

The main expected difference between the Hypernova glasses and the existing Ray-Ban glasses (which start at only $329) is that the Hypernova specs are supposed to have a built-in display in one eye. The glasses will likely be a little bigger than the Ray-Bans because they'll need more computing power inside of them to make the display function. As for what you'll be able to do with the display, we don't know much yet, but one can imagine a world where it's useful for taking photos and videos, following map directions, as well as interfacing with various Meta apps like Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram.

There will almost certainly be some Meta AI functionality built into the device as well, but we'll have to wait and see exactly how that works. Going back to the wristband from the renders, that's rumored to be a control mechanism for the unit. It'll read small wrist motions for basic inputs, like navigating between apps and whatnot.

Meta finally making augmented reality glasses with a built-in display is the big news here, but the wristband might be just as important, as that could become a standard way of interfacing with these devices going forward.

Meta Hypernova glasses: Release date

Lastly, we won't know when these glasses will be on store shelves until Meta tells us. It seems reasonable to assume they'll come out before the end of 2025 if Meta is willing to show them off on Wednesday, but that's just speculation.

We'll all find out together soon enough.

Meta Connect 2024: What to expect, including Quest 3S and new AR smart glasses

Meta Connect 2024 is so close, you can almost taste it. Launching during the week of Sept. 23, the social media giant is expected to rollout hardware and software goodies that will intrigue VR gamer enthusiasts, AI aficionados, and smart glasses devotees. But what, specifically, does Meta have up its sleeves? We have a few guesses based on credible reports. What to expect at Meta Connect 2024 Last year, the Meta Quest 3 was announced in early June, but it got its full reveal at Meta Connect 2023. The headset boasted a sleeker, more comfortable design, as well as new AR capabilities, that made it more appealing than its predecessor. Once again, for Meta Connect 2024, the social media giant is expected to drop a new VR headset, but it's not necessarily an upgrade over the Quest 3. Meta Quest 3S Rumor has it that Meta is planning on revealing a cheaper, more budget-friendly version of the Quest 3 called "Quest 3S." Tweet may have been deleted Whether it was intent...

When the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time, and why we do it at all

The clocks on our smartphones do something bizarre twice a year: One day in the spring, they jump ahead an hour, and our alarms go off an hour sooner. We wake up bleary-eyed and confused until we remember what just happened. Afterward, "Daylight Saving Time" becomes the norm for about eight months (And yes, it's called "Daylight Saving" not "Daylight Savings." I don't make the rules). Then, in the fall, the opposite happens. Our clocks set themselves back an hour, and we wake up refreshed, if a little uneasy.  Mild chaos ensues at both annual clock changes. What feels like an abrupt and drastic lengthening or shortening of the day causes time itself to seem fictional. Babies and dogs demand that their old sleep and feeding habits remain unchanged. And more consequential effects — for better or worse — may be involved as well (more on which in a minute). Changing our clocks is an all-out attack on our perception of time as an immutable law of ...
