Leak Reveals Meta’s Upcoming Smart Glasses with Display and Wrist Controller Launch Imminent

Sure thing, here goes:

Okay, so here’s the scoop. Meta just showed off these new smart glasses, the Oakley Meta HSTN, and they’re teaming up with EssilorLuxottica. But wait, there’s more! This data miner, kinda like a modern-day treasure hunter, named ‘Luna’ — no idea why but the name sounds cool — got her hands on pics of what they’re cooking up next. This new pair’s got a built-in display! Plus, a wrist-worn controller. How sci-fi is that?

Then, there was this dude, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg. Back in January, he spilled the beans about Meta working on not one but two new smart glasses. One’s a sporty pair — that’s a done deal now — thanks to Oakley. The other one sounds like something outta a tech dream, called ‘Hypernova.’ Word on the street, it’s got this fancy electromyography-based controller that straps onto your wrist. Think about pinching and gesturing your way through a menu. Priced between $1,000 and $1,400, by the way. Ouch.

Back to Luna, she’s been dropping images on X, kind of like an advent calendar of tech secrets. Among her findings was this wristband thingy called ‘Ceres.’ Oh, and images from Meta firmware hint the glasses might be called ‘Meta Celeste.’ Maybe they’re going solo with this one, who knows?

Anyway — where was I? Oh yes, EMG tech. This controller thing detects gestures. Do a little pinching motion? The UI listens — kind of like a middle school Crush’s attention, but more reliable. Luna found some text saying, “Time for some magic,” which honestly made me chuckle. They even got this mini-game, ‘Hypertrail,’ maybe a nod to Galaga, where your real-world location might play a part. Curious, right?

So Luna keeps finding more gold, throwing videos and images our way. It feels like a never-ending soap opera. I’ll keep an eye out. I mean, how can you not be intrigued?
