The Artemis project, scheduled for a 2027 release, promises to be lighter and more user-friendly while continuing to integrate advanced control systems for practical AR applications.

To achieve this vision, Meta is developing a comprehensive ecosystem of wearable devices, which includes intelligent earbuds equipped with AI for real-time environmental analysis and a smartwatch designed to unify its technology.

However, the success of Meta's ambitious vision will largely depend on user acceptance, as the transition from smartphones to these new technologies presents challenges related to cost, convenience, and ingrained user habits.

Meta, under the leadership of CEO Mark Zuckerberg, is aggressively working towards a future where smartphones are supplanted by smart glasses and augmented reality (AR) devices.

In line with this strategy, the company is set to launch the Supernova 2 model of smart glasses in 2025, targeting active users such as cyclists and outdoor athletes, and featuring built-in speakers, a camera, and AI capabilities for hands-free information access.

Additionally, the more advanced Hypernova glasses, priced around $1,000, will include a miniature display in the right lens, allowing users to view notifications and messages, thereby enhancing the interactive AR experience.

Meta is also working on two high-end AR projects, Orion and Artemis, which aim to redefine digital engagement; Orion, expected to launch in 2026 at a price point of $10,000, will offer immersive AR experiences with gesture control, specifically targeting developers.
