Meta’s debut smart glasses is an incremental step towards full AR glasses: it prioritizes lightweight heads‑up display and muscle‑signal gesture wristband to capture input data and normalize the technology

August 27, 2025 //  by Finnovate

Meta is planning to use its annual Connect conference next month to announce a deeper push into smart glasses, including the launch of the company’s first consumer-ready glasses with a display. That’s one of the two new devices Meta is planning to unveil at the event. The company will also launch its first wristband that will allow users to control the glasses with hand gestures. The glasses are internally codenamed Hypernova and will include a small digital display in the right lens of the device. The device is expected to cost about $800 and will be sold in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. With Hypernova, Meta will finally be offering glasses with a display to consumers, but the company is setting low expectations for sales. That’s because the device requires more components than its voice-only predecessors, and will be slightly heavier and thicker. Although Hypernova will feature a display, those visual features are expected to be limited. The color display will offer about a 20 degree field of view — meaning it will appear in a small window in a fixed position — and will be used primarily to relay simple bits of information, such as incoming text messages.  The Hypernova glasses will also come paired with a wristband that will use technology built by Meta’s CTRL Labs. The wristband is expected to be a key input component for the company’s future release of full AR glasses, so getting data now with Hypernova could improve future versions of the wristband. In addition to Hypernova and the wristband, Meta will also announce a third-generation of its voice-only smart glasses with Luxottica at Connect
