Meta Platforms is cautiously forecasting 150,000-200,000 units sold for its experimental Project Hypernova smart glasses over two years, priced at $800 with AI features and a neural wristband. This reflects challenges in AR adoption, prioritizing innovation and feedback over mass appeal. The glasses could signal Meta's pivot toward AI-integrated wearables.
Microsoft designer Braz de Pina unveiled Copilot Veja, an unofficial ear-worn concept succeeding the discontinued HoloLens 2, featuring cameras, microphones, and buttons for audio-centric AI integration without a HUD, relying on existing screens. This rogue innovation highlights potential for subtle, accessible wearables amid Microsoft's AR pivot.
