Meta is set to announce its first consumer-ready smart glasses, codenamed Hypernova, at the upcoming Connect conference, along with a wristband that enables gesture control. The glasses will feature a limited color display and are expected to retail for around $800, while the wristband utilizes technology from Meta's CTRL Labs to interpret electrical signals from hand movements. Despite the advancements, Meta is managing expectations for sales due to the added complexity of the new features.

Meta has developed a neural interface wristband that interprets muscle signals to enable users to control computers and other devices through subtle movements. This innovative technology aims to enhance the way people interact with digital devices, making it more intuitive and seamless. The wristband represents a significant leap forward in wearable tech and human-computer interaction.
