Meta wants to make the first AR glasses with a cheap screen like a pioneering phone

If there is one thing we learned in the world of mixed reality over the past year, it is that the price is all to be very much. Just ask Apple, which is still struggling to find an audience for it Protein headphone worth $ 3500. I mean, not that there is not much that I should love in Vision Pro (the best user interface is actually mixed and its distinctive view is the most prominent), but I bought my first used car at a price that was not very far, and this at least made me work in an almost continuous time.

What is clear, if anything, I have learned Apple from its experience in expensive AR devices due to the lack of Gen Vision Pro so far, but it seems that Meta has got the message, not only with its latest headphones, Quest 3sBut apparently with a husband coming from smart glasses. According to A report from Bloomberg Mark GormanMeta plans to release her next husband from the smart glasses with difficulty soon for $ 800, which is significantly less than the previous rumors that He suggested the price of $ 1000 Or up to $ 1,400. In other words, it seems that Meta takes a page from the PlayBook book, which is definitely better for consumers.

Don’t understand me wrong, 800 dollars remain a large amount of money for most people, but it is not bad when you think about new main phones. Samsung’s Galaxy S25and Nothing phone 3And Google’s Pixel 9 Everything was shown for the first time at the same price, and of the importance of phones, they often do not differ between generations unless you wait from three to five years. For a person interested in the smart glasses category and has some available income, it may be $ 800 to justify the trigger pulling. Certainly, the smart glasses of meta (Codenamed hypernovaAnd not to confuse it with it Ar Orion Primary Model) It will not have a full capacity that resembles the phone, but according to Gurman, they will have one thing that people were pleading with in a pair of manufacture specifications: screen.

With this screen (one mono screen), Hypernova is said to have a much larger bag than a comparison tricks Meta’s Ray-BansThe only husband is a smart glasses currently offers. For one, Hypernova will be said to have the ability to use “small applications”, says Gurman, which may mean any number of things, including (hope) movement and messages. To control these applications, Gurman says Meta plans to charge glasses using a body sensor wrist that takes inputs from hand movements and will be a new step in the world of smart glasses. Use the first model of the electrical wrist control unit (EMG); The leaked photos of Hypernova indicate that smart glasses will have their wrist device.

Moreover, the screen will also give the Meta Hypernova glasses the ability to display notifications, which is lacking in Ray-Ray-Bans. While keeping an audio assistant, a solid voice and camera camera, Hypernova can add up to something that is close to being an alternative to the phone in some aspects, or at least able to mobilize. This brings me back to the price.

Despite the importance of phones, I think most people will agree to overcome a generation (or two or three) will not really be a big problem, and if people have an opportunity to give up the next pioneering phone in favor of a pair of smart glasses that actually expand at home from their tools and give them a lot of features in the same features, and perhaps even exciting, I am ready for each other to pay attention. Whether Hypernova will actually do He is None of these things should still have, but at least it seems that Meta gives a decent number of people who have the opportunity to discover this in September, when it is expected to reveal glasses at the annual Connect conference.
