Meta Leak Hints at Upcoming Launch of Smart Glasses With Display and Wrist-mounted Controller

Sure thing. Here’s that reimagined article:

Okay, so Meta apparently has these new smart glasses called Oakley Meta HSTN. They worked on it with, um, EssilorLuxottica? Weird name, but who am I to judge? Now, here’s the interesting bit—there’s this mystery leaker, Luna, who’s all about spilling the beans on Meta’s next gadget. Get this: they found images of smart glasses with a built-in display and, wait for it, a wrist-worn controller. Yep, you heard right.

Anyway, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg mentioned in January that Meta had this sporty Oakley-styled gadget. Like, super official. But then there’s another piece of the puzzle—Hypernova. Sounds straight out of a superhero flick, honestly. It’s supposed to be high-end with gesture control. How? Thanks to some fancy wrist tech called electromyography (EMG). Luna must’ve stumbled onto something because Meta might be gearing up for a drop soon. Prices? Between $1,000 and $1,400. Wallets beware!

Luna’s really making waves on X (or whatever it’s called now) with leaked images of this Hypernova gear and its sidekick, the wristband. Codenamed ‘Ceres’. Fancy, huh? I kinda dig these code names. ‘Celeste’ might be their final label—which, fun fact, isn’t linked to the big-name brands Meta usually cozies up to.

Now, if you think that’s sci-fi enough, there’s more! Meta’s Orion AR glasses shared a similar EMG controller, detecting hand moves like pinches and rotations. I mean, try doing that with voice commands—awkward!

Oh, and Luna’s sleuthing uncovered some tutorials. Picture this: “Time for magic! You can wave your hands to control the display. Feel that buzz? Yep, you did it!” Sounds like a magic show to me.

To top it off, they found a mini-game named Hypertrail, kind of like Galaga through some weird AR lens. Wonder if anyone’s gonna be playing it on a bus or something? Anyway—brace for more from Luna. Updates incoming, I guess!
