Meta Leak Hints at Imminent Launch of Smart Glasses With Display and Wrist-Worn Controller

Sure, let’s dive into this whirlwind of smart glasses shenanigans with Meta and see where it leads us. Right off the bat, Meta’s cooked up something quirky with Oakley called the HSTN glasses. But wait, hold on—there’s more. Now some mystery was stirred by a sneaky leaker, Luna, who unearthed images of perhaps the next Meta marvel: glasses with displays—and get this—a wrist doohickey.

Once upon a January, Bloomberg’s tech sage Mark Gurman mentioned Meta had two pairs in the pipeline. One’s sporty like your post-jog glow, thanks to Oakley. The big cheese? It’s called Hypernova. Sounds cosmic, right? It’s said to feature a built-in display with a wristband using electromyography (EMG)—not to be confused with any sci-fi mumbo jumbo, but it detects gestures! Somehow.

They say Hypernova might debut this year and slap you with a price of $1,000 to $1,400. Maybe start saving those pennies! Images and tutorials out there hint at a near-future launch. Luna, that sly fox, shared some GIFs or whatever on X (once known as Twitter, possibly?), showing off a wristband called Ceres.

And then, this notion of “Meta Celeste” popped up, hinting at yet another glasses gig without the usual Razmataz, no Ray-Ban or Oakley co-branding. Celeste, a lone wolf, perhaps? Unclear. Digging through Meta’s cyberspace could reveal these soon enough.

Notably, the controller—picture this—reads your hand gestures like some kind of tech sage. Meta had a proto AR glasses thing called Orion doing similar wizardry. It pinches, it pinwheels, and who knows—it might even make your coffee? (Okay, that last part’s imagination running wild.)

There’s this juicy tutorial Luna stumbled on, soaked in tech nonsense: “Time for magic! Control glasses with finger flicks!” sounds snazzy, eh? This wrist gizmo buzzes when it notices hand jivers.

Oh, but wait, there’s something random: a mini-game named Hypertrail, sprouting from early firmware. A Galaga-like trip—great for retro game nerds, maybe involving physical location interaction. Space Invaders vibes, anyone?

Luna’s Sherlocking seems tireless—more images coming, more tweets tweaked. Stay hungry for updates, goggles on standby!
