The Hypernova glasses are still months away from being introduced, and the company’s current plans could change. Meta is known for making product changes – or even axing new initiatives – late in the development process. — Reuters

Meta Platforms Inc, ramping up work on a deluxe version of its popular smart glasses, plans to include hand-gesture controls and a screen for displaying photos and apps.

The company intends to introduce its first glasses with a screen as early as the end of this year – a product it sees as a key step toward providing an alternative to Apple Inc’s iPhone and other mobile devices, according to people familiar with the matter.
