Mark Zuckerberg just unveiled Orion, Meta's groundbreaking AR glasses—but can Meta set the standard for the future of augmented reality?


The tech giant Meta, formerly known as Facebook, revealed its groundbreaking augmented reality (AR) glasses called Orion at Meta Connect 2024—the company's annual developer conference. CEO Mark Zuckerberg presented this cutting-edge technology, describing it as "the most advanced glasses the world has ever seen."


Meta's vision for Orion is to create a product that seamlessly integrates digital experiences with the physical world, putting people at the center and empowering them to be more present, connected, and informed. The glasses feature a lightweight design, making them comfortable for all-day wear, and they even let you see other people's faces, eyes, and expressions, ensuring that you can still engage in social interactions while enjoying the benefits of augmented reality.


Here's what you need to know about Orion:


  • Combines the aesthetics of regular glasses with advanced AR capabilities

  • Features the largest field of view in a compact AR glasses design to date

  • Integrates Meta AI for real-time environmental understanding and visualization

  • Enables hands-free communication and digital content interaction

  • Currently in prototype phase for internal testing and select external users



While other products like Ray-Ban Meta glasses have given us a taste of wearable tech, Orion takes it much further by delivering full augmented reality in a practical, wearable form. The glasses allow for digital experiences to flow effortlessly alongside the real world—without needing to reach for your phone. From holographic displays to advanced AI interactions, Orion is designed to empower people by keeping them connected, yet present in their daily lives.


Although the product isn't available to consumers yet, Meta has stated that they are working diligently to refine the technology. The company is focused on enhancing the display, minimizing the form factor, and preparing for mass production. As the AR industry races to establish the next major platform, Meta's Orion could set the pace and help the company take the lead in augmented reality innovation. But can Meta deliver on its ambitious promise and make Orion the must-have device of the AR era?
