What to expect from Meta Connect 2025 this week: Ray-Ban smart glasses, Hypernova, more
"A device that is set to steal the show is the heavily rumored Hypernova smart glasses, which could ship under the retail name Meta Celeste. The glasses are expected to include a waveguide display built into the lens and a heads-up interface ideal for navigation, notification triage, and supported apps. Having experienced Google's Project Astra smartglasses display with a similar waveguide technology powered by Raxium's MicroLED technology, I'm excited to see how Meta's solution stacks up."
"Last year's Connect 2024 conference brought some notable improvements to its Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses, including multimodal video support, live translations, and natural language processing. Also: 5 Meta Ray-Ban upgrades that have me truly hyped for September 17 Meta also previewed advances in Llama 3, showing how its AI research was driving new features. Connect 2024 showed how consumers could continue to embrace AI wearables, setting the stage for Meta to make a bigger leap into display-driven smart glasses and a full developer platform to support them."
Meta will host Connect on Sept. 17 and 18 with public livestreams on Facebook, Meta's website, and the Quest Horizon platform. Announcements will cover new hardware and software, multiple smart‑glasses models, and expanded Meta AI features. A rumored Hypernova device (possibly retailing as Meta Celeste) is expected to include a waveguide display and heads‑up interface for navigation, notifications, and apps. The Meta Ray‑Ban line may receive a third‑generation refresh with improved battery life and camera quality. Prior upgrades added multimodal video, live translations, and natural language processing. Llama 3 advances and a broader developer platform are likely focal points.
