Meta has revealed Orion, it’s first true AR glasses.
Orion features micro LEDs that project onto silicon carbide, housed in a magnesium shell. It also has a separate wireless compute puck and an EMG wristband for gestures.
Meta insists that Orion is not a research prototype but a polished product prototype, although there are no pricing and availability details yet.
Tech companies have been fascinated with AR, VR (https://www.androidauthority.com/mobile-vr-803034/), and XR for decades, and many see it as one of the futures of computing. Google’s entry into the format came in the form of the much-marveled Google Glass, a pair of glasses that beamed information into a heads-up display right in front of your eyes. More than a decade later, we’re getting a spiritual successor in the form of Meta’s Orion AR glasses.
Meta’s foray into the smart glasses segment started with the RayBan Meta glasses, which are ordinary glasses that come with a camera and an AI assistant. The company had bigger ambitions, and we see them in Orion, a pair of holographic displays in the shape of glasses alongside an AI assistant.
