This Wednesday (13), Anger Detailed key information about Meta’s supposedly upcoming augmented reality (AR) glasses that could be another gateway into the metaverse. The site has revealed, through confidential sources, that Mark Zuckerberg’s company should deliver the first generation of the accessory by 2024; this is a relatively short deadline to rally the efforts in the internal development teams.
Contrary to expectations, the company should stop developing wearable technology through Fuchsia OS and radically adopt the Android operating system. Without revealing many details, the source suggests that the new AR Glasses should have a “socially accepted” design with a wide black frame and, as he himself explains, a design similar to the one used by Superman’s alter ego Clark Kent in disguise. . .
In addition, the first generation of the device will have a stereo sound system, as well as a front camera and eye tracking. Offering a degree of immersion, the model will still feature microLED projectors that act as screens. In total, the set should weigh 100 grams; this is about four times more than regular glasses. 9to5 Google.
Accessory for accessory and cheaper version
The source also suggests that Meta plans to add a smart wristband to the wearable package that aims to offer a superior degree of control. The so-called innovation would be the result of the 2019 acquisition of CTRL-Labs and would use electromyography (EMG) to measure the pulse of neurons in the arm and create “ghost movements” to interact with AR glasses. If well received, models will be updated to a higher generation every two years.
Betting on a more affordable variant, Meta also seems to be developing other cheaper AR glasses for 2024 called “Hypernova”. The model will be used to receive notifications and will require a constant connection to a mobile phone.
