You can’t buy Meta’s most impressive new product, smart glasses codenamed Orion. You might be able to buy something similar in a few years, but most of us will never wear them. But that doesn’t necessarily make them any less impressive, or less important. Orion is Meta’s goal statement: AR glasses are indeed the future, and we’ll eventually get there.
All of this information was posted on Meta Connect, so we also looked at all other announcements from Connect. There are new smart glasses, new VR headsets, new celebrity AI replacing the old celebrity AI, voice modes, and more. But let’s be honest: we’re mostly talking about Orion. It’s either a vaporware, a science project, a prototype, the undoubted future, or somewhere in the center of the Venn diagram of them all. The fact that they exist says a lot about where we are in the evolution of technology.
