Meta will sell its first AR glasses in 2024

When Mark Zuckerberg made the decision to rename Facebook to Meta and invest in the development of the famous metaverse, he was clear that he saw this project as the biggest personal bet and even aspired to be the one who would turn the page for the whole world. technology.

Directly intertwined with metaverse is the project of the development of augmented reality glasses (AR Glasses) of the company, which has set a goal of selling tens of millions of pieces by 2030. The beginning will be with the first generation in 2024, which is called Nazare and will offer the user complete autonomy from other devices, 4-hour battery, front camera, microLED projectors, eye-tracking technology and stereo sound.

For this particular model the expectations are low in terms of sales, as the cost will be quite high. He hopes, however, that their launch will go down in history as something similar to that of Apple's first iPhone and at the same time help the company get out of the shadow of Apple and Google.

In the same year, Meta will release a version called Hypernova, which will work in conjunction with the user's smartphone, will have smaller screens and will display notifications in front of the user's eyes. In addition we will see in 2024 a new generation of Ray-Ban Stories glasses.

Beyond that, Meta intends to release new generations of standalone AR Glasses in 2026 and 2028 with lighter construction and more advanced technologies. It should also be noted that all models will eventually use a version of Android OS that will be renamed AR OS, instead of proceeding with the development of their own operating system.
