Meta Ray-Ban AR Glasses Leak Reveals Lumus Waveguide Structures Ahead of Connect Keynote

A leaked YouTube video, subsequently removed, displayed internal structures resembling Lumus waveguides in Meta’s upcoming monocular AR glasses. The product, codenamed Hypernova and expected to be named Celest, is scheduled for disclosure during Mark Zuckerberg’s keynote at Meta Connect on September 17, 2025. Visual evidence from the leak shows diagonal slats characteristic of Lumus 2-D pupil expansion technology. Bloomberg reports the base model without prescription correction will cost approximately $800. This leak corroborates earlier speculation from May 2025 that Meta utilizes Lumus optics. The video was captured before deletion, with multiple copies circulating online. The official launch remains pending until the keynote presentation.
