Meta’s Orion prototype offers a glimpse into our AR future
- Meta’s Orion prototype has the potential to shift our computing usage from smartphones to AI-fueled, eye-tracking glasses.
- Orion is the most sophisticated AR hardware that can navigate AR apps and menus through quick gestural movements and eye-tracking.
- Orion's vast array of technologies include an electromyography wristband for recognizing hand movements and a wireless compute puck that needs to stay near the glasses.
- The glasses look chunky, but the size is closer to a traditional pair of frames and Orion is Meta’s first AR glasses.
- AI-infused, eye-tracking glasses project images onto the world around you.
- One of the most impressive aspects of Orion is the 70-degree field of view, with silicon carbide lenses, micro-LED projectors, and waveguides.
- The glasses have lower resolution than Snap’s AR Spectacles, but the developer is already working on increasing the brightness and resolution of Orion’s displays.
- Meta’s Orion prototype has the potential to complete the transition of VR and AR devices from tethered to free-range devices.
- Orion will need refinement in hardware and software, making it affordable and meet the target industry standards before it revolutionizes mainstream computing usage.
- The mixed reality AR and VR market holds great prospects, and Orion is just a glimpse of what’s to come.
