Many companies have attempted to create AR glasses, but the results have often been either tethered by cables or awkwardly designed. Meta’s approach with Project Orion stands.
What just happened? Mark Zuckerberg unveiled a range of new tech at Meta Connect this year, including the $300 Quest 3S VR headset. However, the real highlight was arguably Project Orion – a pair of AR smart glasses capable of projecting holograms directly into your field of vision using advanced display technology.
Many companies have attempted to create AR glasses, but the results have often been either tethered by cables or awkwardly designed. Meta’s approach with Project Orion stands out because it avoids both of these issues.
Despite all the cutting-edge technology packed into the frame, these hologram-generating glasses almost resemble regular eyewear, bearing a striking similarity to Meta’s Ray-Bans.
Speaking of tech, the Orion glasses pack a host of features like eye-tracking, hand-tracking, voice controls, and even a neural interface – although it reads signals from your wrist rather than your brain.
