Meta connect 2025 will not be completely dedicated to hypernova, as a recent leak has shown that at least another product will be. Earlier this week, Meta accidentally uploaded a teaser trailer for a new pair of smart glasses which could be called the Meta Ray Bain Display.
As the name suggests, these wearbals will “feature a monocular organi that will have a navigation pathway (through a map app), translation, messages and exchanges with Meta AI assistants.” Text boxes, maps, and as it appears to be stable. They will not launch a latch on the objects in front of you, such as an AR (enhanced reality) headset.

Compared to the current Meta Ray Ban model, the ray ban display is quite bulk, especially around the corners. The additional size is the result of all additional techniques required to support the digital display.

For this phenomenon, it appears that the tech veteran is growing up as Meta will reportly unveil a new pair of high-end smart glasses, codained to Hypernova, capable of displaying a graphical interface and capable of tracking hand gestures with other things. Most of the information around Hypernoova comes from unknown sources who spoke to the inner formula of the industry. Mark Gurman of Bloomberg,
According to this report, the price of smart glass can be approximately $ 800 (and as much as $ 1,400.) For comparison, Okle HSTN is currently the most expensive wearer of the meta, and their cost is only $ 479. The mass difference difference is due to a “monocular panel” located in the lower right corner of the right lens. Due to the space of the panel, the on-screen information will only be displayed on your right eye, and you have to look down to see the home screen.

Gurman’s report mentions that Meta “will first start offering a so -called nerve restband (codenamed ceres). It will be a secondary with hypernova that converts electrical signals from the wrist muscles to the gesture. For example, rotating your hands will be scrolled through the apps, and a finger will allow pinch users to select specific items.

These sensors first capture the electrical signals mentioned, which are then sent to an internal processor to “produce input events” on smart glasses. Even it is a hiptic engine that reacts to the user.

Meta can unveil the new VR headset’s new Asas Rose Tarius, which will be the first third-party device to run on the horizon OS on Wednesday. Meta opened it Operating system to third-party companies In April 2024. It has taken some time, but the fruits of these collaborations are giving fruits.
Given that this Asus Rog would be under the umbrella, Tarius is likely to be a gaming-centered tool. Very rarely known about the headset. Currently we have a lot of information Single leak that surfaced in January This year.
Also: I tried smart glasses with an underlying performance, and they defeated Mere Meta Re-Bamboo in major ways.
This claims that Tarious will support both eye and face tracking. The screen inside the balcony will be either micro-olade or a QD-LED with local dimming. Assuming that all this is true, the qdi -led screen can be used to obtain high amounts of vice versa.
Sadly, we know a lot. This is no word on what it will look like or what kind of sports it will support. We do not even know what the chipset will do. Can it move towards more towards Meta Quest 3 and give a top-oriented performance, or will it be like Quest 3S and will be less powerful in favor of a low price tag? It is difficult to say at this time.
