During the Meta Connect 2024, the company introduced its first AR glasses, called the Orion. These glasses revolutionise display technology with silicon-carbide architecture, enabling holographic projections of varying dimensions to blend with the physical environment. Showcasing the goodness of the Orion, CEO Mark Zukerberg said that the glasses will be equipped with AI voice assistance, hand-tracking, eye-tracking, and a wrist-based neural interface that allows users to control functions using brain signals. It looks like the Meta Orion is designed to take over smartphones in the future. Bringing fiction to reality, Orion is a type of face computer that we have been witnessing with Marvel’s Iron Man. The Orion has the largest field of view in the smallest AR glasses form to date. It is capable of unlocking several high-level tasks that have never been seen before. From multitasking windows and big-screen entertainment to life-size holograms of people – all digital content that can seamlessly blend with your view of the physical world. Meta also emphasises that the glasses are lightweight and versatile, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, enabling face-to-face connection, even remotely.
