"The wearable, codenamed Hypernova, has been rumored for some time. It is expected to be a high-end version of Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, with a small display at the bottom of the right lens. The display will only be visible to the wearer, and it can be controlled using a wrist accessory called Ceres"
"Hypernova will now start at $800, the same as the iPhone 16."

This will be interesting to see play out. Not just Meta, not this specific device, but the entire ecosystem.

For the first time there is now a device-class which can replace the "consumption" aspect of a smartphone, with the potential to start a journey away from the smartphone as the main device...
