where it\u2019s expected to unveil new details about its various next-level projects, including AI, AR glasses, VR, and all that may lie in-between. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Indeed, for his keynote address, the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"

says:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><em><span><span><span><span>\u201cJoin Mark Zuckerberg as he shares the latest on AI glasses and lays out

right, the metaverse, that fictional, but maybe also real, VR-based environment where we\u2019ll one day all be engaging with each other via virtual avatars in generated environments. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Believe in that or not, Meta\u2019s still keeping it as part of its broader development vision, while we\u2019ll also learn more about its latest VR headsets.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Which Meta actually <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Meta\/status\/1961087524580790516\" style=\"color:blue\">previewed last week<\/a>:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Meta doesn\u2019t say that any of these prototypes will enter production, but this does provide a glimpse into what Meta\u2019s been working on in the VR space, which is a big part of Zuckerberg\u2019s future vision.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Also last week, details were <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/mingchikuo\/status\/1960513106704277658\" style=\"color:blue\">reportedly leaked<\/a> about Meta\u2019s upcoming \u201cHypernova\u201d AI glasses, which are expected to be the next evolution of its Ray Ban Meta glasses.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>According to reports, Meta\u2019s Hypernova glasses are scheduled to enter production later this year, with a view to selling around 200k units over the next two years. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span><span><span><span><span>AI functionality will be the key focus of the new device, as opposed to full-immersive AR, which will be the next major leap for consumer wearables. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Yet at the same time, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/newsletters\/2025-08-17\/why-doesn-t-the-vision-pro-have-more-immersive-video-apple-is-slow-rolling-it-mefmwpb1\" style=\"color:blue\">Meta is planning<\/a> to integrate \u201c<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span><span><span><span>a small augmented-reality display in the right lens,\u201d that will be visible to the wearer. The company\u2019s hope is that by integrating the first stage of its AR push, that will enable it to <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span><span><span><span><span>get to market with such ahead of Apple, which is also developing an updated version of its Vision Pro device. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Which also relates to pricing. At this stage, Meta\u2019s Hypernova glasses are projected to cost around $800, which is a far cry from the $3.5k that Apple\u2019s priced its initial Vision Pro units at. This has been a key focus for Meta, in finding cost efficiencies in order to bring the price down, and ensure mass adoption of its wearable devices. Apple seems less concerned about this aspect. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>There\u2019s been much discussion about Meta\u2019s Hypernova project over the past few years, and it seems like we\u2019re now only weeks away from seeing what the company\u2019s actually planning, and where it\u2019s placed in the broader AR race.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Meta has long maintained that its fully-immersive AR glasses won\u2019t be available to consumers till 2027 at the earliest, though it is planning to release its current model Aria AR device to developers later this year.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Meta Aria AR glasses\" data-imagemodel=\"180288\" src=\"https:\/\/imgproxy.divecdn.com\/S6T_rXB2M9VUAwOqjJ0KO8cpSRLWK0bLJinvO4-RmTI\/g:ce\/rs:fit:1600:0\/Z3M6Ly9kaXZlc2l0ZS1zdG9yYWdlL2RpdmVpbWFnZS9tZXRhX2FyaWFfZ2VuXzJfTXpjTGk2dC5wbmc=.webp\"\/><\/div>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>So they are close, but the expectation is that Meta won\u2019t be announcing any major changes in the Aria timeline at Connect. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>But it is heading in that direction. And with Apple building Vision Pro 2, and Snap planning to push the launch of its AR device in stores next year, Meta likely needs to make a move in order to maximize its potential on this front. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Which Zuckerberg knows all too well. Meta\u2019s been developing AI for years, but it wasn\u2019t till OpenAI launched ChatGPT that Meta suddenly felt the need to accelerate its projects. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>OpenAI is arguably still benefiting from first-mover advantage in this respect, and I suspect Meta won\u2019t make the same mistake in letting Apple of Snap beat it to the punch with functional AR wearables. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more like this article, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/yohrt.com\/news\/social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" >Social Media<\/a><\/span> category.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.socialmediatoday.com\/news\/meta-hypernova-ar-glasses-smart-glasses-ai\/758949\/\" target=\"_blank\" >Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Details Emerge About Meta\u2019s \u2018Hypernova\u2019 Smart Glasses It\u2019s September, which means we\u2019re just days away from Meta\u2019s 2025 Connect Conference, where it\u2019s expected to unveil new details about its various next-level projects, including AI, AR glasses, VR, and all that may lie in-between.
