Meta<\/a> is reportedly set to unveil smart glasses that incorporate a display in September and offer them at a price starting at $800.<\/p>\n

The new smart glasses, internally named Hypernova, were initially planned to be priced at $1,000, at least, but will now start at $800 before style variations or prescription lenses are added, Bloomberg reported<\/a> Sunday (Aug. 17).<\/p>\n

The report noted that the current Meta Ray-Ban glasses are priced at $200 to $400 and the Oakley smart glasses cost up to $500.<\/p>\n

The new Hypernova smart glasses will feature a screen for apps and alerts on one lens and a wrist accessory that can control the glasses, according to the report.<\/p>\n

CNET reported<\/a> Monday (Aug. 18) that while the Hypernova smart glasses are designed to be used with a mobile phone, they hint at a future when glasses might replace phones.<\/p>\n

It is rumored that Hypernova could have a smartphone-quality camera and a voice-activated artificial intelligence query tool, Frederick Stanbrell<\/a>, head of wearables for EMEA at IDC<\/a>, told CNET.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are likely seeing the first generation of a device that Mark Zuckerberg<\/a> intends to one day replace phones,\u201d Stanbrell said, per the report.<\/p>\n

Meta\u2019s partner on the Ray-Ban and Oakley smart glasses<\/a>, EssilorLuxottica<\/a>, said in July that the sales of Ray-Ban Meta glasses were up more than 200% in the first half of the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are leading the transformation of glasses as the next computing platform, one where AI, sensory tech and a data-rich healthcare infrastructure will converge to empower humans and unlock our full potential,\u201d EssilorLuxottica Chairman and CEO Francesco Milleri<\/a> and Deputy CEO Paul du Saillant<\/a> said in the release.<\/p>\n

When Google<\/a> announced in May that it partnered with eyewear brands Gentle Monster<\/a> and Warby Parker<\/a> to create glasses equipped with its extended reality (XR) operating system, Android XR<\/a>, the company said it expects smart glasses<\/a> equipped with Android XR and its AI model Gemini<\/a> to become a convenient and always present AI assistant.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat if your AI assistant could see the world from your perspective and offer hands-free help? That\u2019s the vision driving our latest advancements in Android XR,\u201d Shahram Izadi<\/a>, vice president and general manager, Android XR at Google, said at the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meta is reportedly set to unveil smart glasses that incorporate a display in September and offer them at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10593,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[74],"tags":[18,10256,10257,19,17,1722,5,1351,10258,5220,82,2350],"class_list":{"0":"post-10592","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-essilorluxottica","10":"tag-hypernova","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-meta","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-pymnts-news","16":"tag-ray-ban","17":"tag-smart-glasses","18":"tag-technology","19":"tag-whats-hot"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10592","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10592"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10592\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10593"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
