Meta plans a high-end Hypernova smart glasses product with a small heads-up display in one eye and a neural wristband called Ceres to control the interface, reportedly priced around $800 and targeted for announcement on September 17. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo projects 150,000–200,000 Hypernova units could sell over the next two years. EssilorLuxottica reported over two million Meta Ray-Ban units sold and aims to scale to ten million annual units by the end of 2026. Samsung's Android XR Galaxy Glasses may debut soon. Current Meta Ray-Bans are rated for four hours; disabling always-on listening and using long-press activation can noticeably extend battery life.
Jason Hiner/ZDNET The hype continues to build around the arrival of Meta's futuristic Hypernova (a.k.a. Celeste) smart glasses, which will reportedly add a small heads-up display in one eye and a neural wristband ( Ceres) to control the interface. These will reportedly cost around $800 and will be announced at Meta Connect on September 17 . Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has that Meta is preparing to sell 150,00-200,000 units of its Hypernova glasses over the next two years.
Also: Samsung 'Galaxy Glasses' powered by Android XR are reportedly on track to be unveiled this month All of that points to an upgraded version of the $300 audio-only Meta Ray-Bans coming this fall -- and being announced alongside the future-oriented Hypernova glasses at Meta Connect. For the past two years, I've been a daily user of the Meta Ray-Bans for audio calls, listening to podcasts and music, and taking photos.
