Meta's upcoming "Hypernova" smart glasses are slated to launch next month, and could launch at a very appealing price.

Meta is reportedly developing smart glasses with a built-in display priced near $800, offering notifications and mini apps.

Meta scored a hit with its Ray-Ban collaboration – glasses that fit with the style of the brand but incorporate a camera. Now several sources indicate Meta is preparing the next step, codenamed Project Hypernova, which will incorporate a hidden display visible only to the wearer of the glasses.
