<\/figure>\n\n\n\nMeta\u2019s Smart Glasses: How Does It Work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In comparison to the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer model, which retails for $329, the price is anticipated to start above $1,000 and possibly reach $1,400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Users will need to look down to view notifications and other content because the built-in screen will be located at the bottom-right of the right lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Though they won’t have an app store, Meta will maintain control over the functionality of their Hypernova glasses, which will show notifications from Messenger and WhatsApp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The primary features, such as taking pictures and videos, playing music, and interacting with AI assistants, will be comparable to those of existing Meta smart glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although Hypernova chooses a bottom-right placement, the design concept is similar to Google Glass (2013), which used a tiny projector for image display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike Google Glass, which had trouble getting traction, the aim is to make the glasses fashionable and popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since October 2023, 2 million pairs of Ray-Ban Meta glasses have been sold, according to EssilorLuxottica, the company that makes them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By 2026, Meta wants to sell 10 million smart glasses a year, but the pricey Hypernova model might not make a big difference in reaching this goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
