Catchin' Up with the Latest on Smart Glasses

Let's dive into the latest goss on smart glasses, shall we?

While Apple's Vision Pro VR headset didn't exactly set the world on fire, they're still eyeing bigger things with their smart glasses project, codenamed N401. These bad boys are loaded with some serious tech, including cameras, microphones, speakers, and, of course, Siri. Expect them to transform your phone call game, music control, translation, and navigation. Apple is aiming to trump Meta and Google with these babies, focusing heavily on AI capabilities[2][4][5].

Now, you might have heard whispers that Apple's smart glasses project was getting scrapped earlier this year. But fear not, folks – it's still a go! Bloomberg reports that the project is still a work in progress, but don't hold your breath – these glasses ain't hitting the shelves anytime soon[3].

As for Meta, they're dominating the smart glasses market like a boss. More than two million Ray-Ban smart glasses have been sold since their October 2023 launch, and they show no signs of slowing down[1]. Meta's got big plans, too: they're working on their Gen 3 Ray-Ban smart glasses, but details are still shy. Some rumors suggest the glasses might feature a display, and there's even whispers of a neural wristband for wireless control[1]. If that's true, Meta's Gen 3 glasses should stay at that $300 price point (unless, you know, the trade war between the U.S. and China throws a wrench in things).

But Meta's not resting on its laurels – they're also cookin' up a high-end pair of smart glasses, codenamed "Hypernova." These glasses will boast a panel acting as a screen for pictures and apps, with a reported starting price of $1,000[1]. Now, there's no telling when these will hit the market, but keep your eyes peeled for more info coming soon!
