Meta is preparing to take ambitious steps in the field of hardware by going beyond social media software. The company developed by investing billions of dollars.NazarethIt plans to launch its AR (Augmented Reality) glasses, which it calls “”, this year.
Meta comes with real AR glasses for the first time after Quest 3
These glasses will appear as ordinary glasses designed to be very light and advanced. Besides Nazare, Meta is expected to return in 2024.hypernovaIt is stated that it plans to offer a more affordable AR glasses model called “.
These glasses will be paired with smartphones and provide users with notifications and useful context-related information on a small screen. This will be offered with functionality similar to Google Glass, but in regular glasses frames.
This time it’s completely different: MediaTek and Meta shook hands for AR glasses!
MediaTek is partnering with Meta to develop chips for AR smart glasses. Here are the details…
Why is it difficult for Meta to produce AR glasses?
One of Meta’s biggest challenges with AR glasses is finding a suitable input method. VR controls aren’t practical for headsets intended for use outside the home. Although voice recognition technology has matured, many people may not want to dictate private text out loud in front of strangers.
Typing on a virtual keyboard can work, but it can be tiring and doesn’t provide the tactile feedback of touchscreens. Meta will package both Nazare and Hypernova with a neural bracelet that can read neural signals in your arms using EMG (electromyography).
This device from Meta will be able to track finger movements and detect subtle finger gestures that go unnoticed even among others. This wristband is expected to ship with both Nazare and Hypernova as a control method in 2024.
Meta will increase competition
Of course, these plans of Meta will not be without competition. Apple is reportedly planning its own AR glasses for 2025, and Google is also purchasing suppliers to develop its own glasses.
It is predicted that other technology giants such as Amazon will not stand aside. However, Meta has been working on these technologies for almost 8 years, and Zuckerberg has invested more in this area than other companies.
