Default Meta’s first AR glasses are a spiritual successor to Google Glass, but you
  • 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, 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.
