On the other hand, the company is also working on existing smart glasses, which are currently marketed under the Ray-Ban brand. These glasses already have cameras, microphones, and music playback capabilities. The company is reportedly working on a new version called Supernova 2, which is aimed at athletes. The report also stated that the camera would be moved to the center of the frame.

The technology giant is also reportedly developing a wrist strap controller codenamed Ceres that will allow users to easily control their glasses. According to the report, it will be offered alongside the new Hypernova glasses if it passes further testing. With these, the company hopes to eliminate the need for smartphones. Meta intends to release all-in-one wearable devices in the coming years, combining multiple functions into a single unit.

Furthermore, Meta is reportedly developing a smartwatch with a display for viewing photos taken with the smart glasses, indicating another step toward an integrated, wearable ecosystem.
