Meta Leak Hints at Imminent Launch of Smart Glasses with Display and Wrist-worn Controller

Sure thing! Here it goes:

So, get this—Meta and Oakley teamed up for some fancy smart specs, right? Pretty cool on its own. But then this data whiz, Luna, drops the bomb with some well-leaked pics of what’s apparently Meta’s next-gen smart glasses. I swear, this thing’s got a display and a wrist controller. Mind-blowing, ain’t it?

Earlier this year, Bloomberg’s tech maestro Mark Gurman spilled the beans that Meta’s cooking up two smart glasses: One sporty pair styled by Oakley, and another high-end version codenamed ‘Hypernova’ (fancy, huh?) that rocks a display and gesture controls, thanks to this super high-tech wristband called EMG. Think Iron Man, but… with glasses?

Hypernova, they say, might hit the shelves this year, burning a $1,000 to $1,400 hole in your pocket. And with Luna’s leaks, it feels like Meta’s almost ready to send these out into the wild. Luna’s been all over X, sharing snaps and clips of this Hypernova baby and its buddy, the wristband controller ‘Ceres.’ Gonna be honest, that name gives me major Greek mythology vibes.

Now, Luna’s clues suggest these glasses will be dubbed ‘Meta Celeste’. If that’s the name they’re sticking with (and it sounds like it), seems Meta’s flying solo on this—not hitching a ride with Oakley or Ray-Ban, which is a curveball. Interesting choice, right?

Now, let me geek out for a sec—those EMG controllers, part of Meta’s AR glasses lineup, are like hand-waving magic. They read your finger pinches and twists, stuff touch and voice controls mess up all the time. The thing they showed is from a fresh tutorial—I wonder what’s new?

But wait, there’s more. Luna found these snippets or whatever from the device tutorial—imagine it says, “Voila! Control your glasses display with your hands!” Almost feels like I’m in a futuristic magic show. “Quick, touch your finger to your thumb and wham, you’ll feel a buzz.” Seriously, who comes up with this?

And oh, there’s this mini-game, ‘Hypertrail’. Sounds like Galaga revisited, but kind of tied to where you physically are. Huh? What’s it planning, making you dodge space rocks in your living room? Can you even imagine?

Anyway—and yeah, I keep dragging on—Luna seems to have a full vault of these pics, videos, and text around Hypernova and Ceres. Stay tuned, ’cause this rabbit hole seems unending!
