Meta is once again preparing to make waves in the technology world. According to recently leaked information, Meta may soon launch its new smart glasses, codenamed Hypernova, under the name "Meta Celeste." These smart glasses are not just a stylish gadget, but are designed to provide a complete interactive experience. They may include advanced features like mini-games, touch controls, and a special EMG wristband.
What is the design of Meta Celeste like?
Leaked images show that the Meta Celeste's look is similar to the Ray-Ban Meta glasses, but with some significant changes. The frame arms are slightly thicker, with cameras and sensors placed on both sides. It is said that there will be a touch bar on the left side of the glasses, which users can tap to capture photos or videos.
The design of this device is not only fashionable but also functional. Its solid color scheme and built-in camera give it the appearance of a modern gadget.
EMG Wristband: The entire system will be controlled by hand gestures
Meta Celeste will come with a special EMG wristband – Ceres. This wristband detects the electrical signals of the user's muscles on their wrist. This means that now, small movements of your fingers and hands will control your smart glasses.
Users can scroll through apps or select content by making a pinch gesture with their thumb and index finger. In addition, actions like swipe, tap-touch, and wrist rotation may also be included.
Gaming experience will also be available – Hypertrail mini-game
One of the most exciting aspects of these smart glasses is that they may have a built-in mini-game – Hypertrail – in their initial firmware. This game is said to be inspired by the 1981 game Galaga from the famous Japanese video game developer Namco.
This will be the first time that an AR smart glass will include a non-AR game as a default in its system. This will not only provide entertainment but will also make it easier for users to understand and use the glasses' interface.
Software: A custom version of Android
According to leaked reports, Meta Celeste will be based on a 'highly customized' Android operating system. It will have a single display, which will appear in the lower right portion of the right lens. This screen will likely be used to display notifications, text, and other information.
Price and Availability
Although Meta has not yet made an official announcement, sources say that the Meta Celeste smart glasses could be launched in the US for between $1,000 and $1,400. This means that the price in Indian rupees could be approximately ₹85,600 to ₹1,19,800.
At this price, users may get both the smart glasses and the EMG wristband.
What will be the impact of the launch?
The potential launch of the Meta Celeste smart glasses is considered a big step in the direction of smart wearable technology. Meta has previously launched camera-enabled glasses in collaboration with Ray-Ban, but this time, with games, gesture control, and EMG technology, this product appears to be more advanced than ever.
Meta's effort to make smart glasses not just a tool for taking photos or videos, but an interactive and practical device, is quite innovative. Features like gaming, content navigation, and hand gesture control can make AR technology a part of everyday life in the future.
Meta Celeste will not only be a new gadget, but it will also give a glimpse into the future of smart wearables. The leaked information points out that Meta is now seriously working towards bringing the virtual and physical worlds closer to each other. If this device launches with its leaked features, it could prove to be a game-changer not only for Meta but also for the entire wearable tech industry.
