  • Meta reportedly plans to launch high-end ‘Hypernova’ smart glasses with a display later this year.
  • These smart glasses will be able to run built-in apps like maps, WhatsApp, and Messenger, and are expected to cost upwards of $1,000.
  • ‘Ceres,’ a neural wristband bundled with the device, is said to enable gesture-based navigation.

The Ray-Ban Meta AI Glasses have been an unexpected success in a market where the likes of Apple and Samsung are pushing bulky, expensive headsets that lack portability. Building on this momentum, Meta is gearing up to release a significantly more premium pair of AR glasses, the news of which first broke in January. Now, new details have surfaced, revealing how these high-end glasses featuring a built-in display will work.
