Leaked Details Surface of Meta's Upcoming Ray-Ban 'Hypernova' Eyewear, Accompanied by Gesture Control Bracelet
### Meta Hypernova Smart Glasses: A Look at the Upcoming Technology
Meta, the tech giant known for its virtual reality headsets, is set to release its latest innovation - the Hypernova smart glasses. While the exact launch date is yet to be confirmed, leaked renderings and information suggest that the glasses could hit the market as early as 2025.
The design of the Hypernova smart glasses bears a striking resemblance to the pair Meta released in collaboration with Ray-Ban earlier in 2025. The glasses are said to come in a solid black colour scheme, with a singular display located at the bottom of the red side lens.
One of the most intriguing features of the Hypernova smart glasses is the mini-game "Hypertrail," which seems to be inspired by the retro game Galaga. The game may involve the user's location in some way, but further details about the gameplay are yet to be revealed.
In terms of functionality, the Hypernova smart glasses are expected to run on Android-powered computational software, allowing users to interact with them using hand gestures, capacitive touch on the frame, and voice commands. The glasses are also said to support a range of apps, including navigation, camera, and notification viewing for connected smartphones.
There has been speculation that Meta could be gearing up for a slight name change for these glasses, potentially launching them as the "Meta Celeste." However, this has not been officially confirmed.
Another significant component of the Hypernova smart glasses is the sEMG bracelet, designed to provide a more intuitive method for digital input. The bracelet is expected to be a necessary input partner for the glasses, making them function more like a smartphone without a touch screen when used without it. The sEMG bracelet is also expected to be more private than voice input in public places.
Rumours of a Hypernova 2 suggest it could feature a display in each lens, a departure from the single display of the first-generation Hypernova. This could potentially offer a more immersive experience for users. However, details about the Hypernova 2 are still scarce, and it is expected to be launched in 2027 at the earliest.
For now, the exact features of the Hypernova smart glasses, including the built-in mini-game for Hypernova 2, remain unclear. As Meta continues to develop its smart glasses ecosystem, more details are expected to emerge closer to the launch. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting new technology.
The upcoming Meta Hypernova smart glasses will not only be a fusion of technology and fashion, but also a platform for enjoying games like the mini-game "Hypertrail," reminiscent of Galaga, on smart-home-devices and other gadgets. The technology behind these glasses includes Android-powered software, hand gestures, touch controls, voice commands, and a sEMG bracelet for more private and intuitive digital input.
