As per the leaked promo, the display will appear in the right lens of the glasses and let you navigate maps, interact with Meta AI, and translate signs.
Meta's long-rumored smart glasses with a heads-up display have been leaked before of a potential reveal at a Connect event this week.
The leaked material appears to be a promotional video shot by the company itself. UploadVR, which reported the video first, says that it was briefly available on Meta's Youtube channel.
The glasses, reportedly developed under the codename Hypernova, will launch under the Ray-Ban brand. In line with existing rumors, the leaked promo suggests that the display would appear in the right lens of the glasses. It will let you interact with Meta AI, navigate maps, and translate signs, but won't be visible to a person standing in front of you.
You'll also be able to control the wearable using a wristband. This could be the electromyography (EMG) accessory Meta teased in 2022. The tech translates your finger and hand movements to actions on a digital screen. In the leaked promo, a person wearing the wristband moved their finger across a surface to type out and send a message.
The extended version of the same promo shows a new offering from the Meta-Oakley partnership as well. Those glasses are designed around Oakley's Sphaera lineup and feature a camera at the center of the frame. These don't appear to have a built-in display and could be intended for high-performance athletes.
Last month, Bloomberg reported that the display-equipped wearable could start at $800. We should have a clearer picture of that and other leaked products on Wednesday, when Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is scheduled to deliver the Connect keynote.
