Meta Accidentally Reveals Smart Glasses Featuring Built-in Display
A now-deleted Meta promotional video appears to have prematurely revealed upcoming Ray-Ban smart glasses featuring built-in displays alongside companion wrist controls, according to *UploadVR* reports. The footage also showcased prototype Oakley "Sphaera" smart glasses sporting nose-mounted cameras - potentially spoiling two major product announcements scheduled for Meta's Connect conference.
The video clearly marked the display-equipped variant as "Meta | Ray-Ban Display," suggesting this could become the official product name. *UploadVR's* reporting indicates these augmented reality glasses project visual information through the right lens, demoing functionality including AI-powered assistance, navigation maps, real-time translation, and wristband-enabled gesture controls for messaging.
CNBC previously revealed that Meta's internally codenamed "Hypernova" glasses would incorporate surface electromyography (sEMG) technology in their wrist controller to interpret subtle hand gestures - functionality the leaked clip appears to confirm.
*The Oakley Sphaera prototype.*
Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg plans to formally unveil these products during Wednesday's Connect keynote presentation at 8PM Eastern Time. *The Verge* will provide complete live coverage of the announcement.
Update September 15th: Removed speculative references to translucent HSTN Oakley models which are already commercially available.
