You will never own a pair of Meta Orion AR glasses - at least not like what I saw yesterday at Meta Connect 2024. That's what I told myself after reading early hands-on reports that made one thing very clear about the ground-breaking smart glasses introduced this week by wunderkind turned billionaire CEO, and now cool guy Mark Zuckerberg.
It's not that Orion can't do the things Zuckerberg claimed during his buzz-worthy keynote. Orion is a pair of somewhat thick, black-framed glasses featuring what looks like see-through screens (more on that in a bit), hand and eye tracking, neural input (via a wrist device), and the ability to integrate virtual environments with your real one almost seamlessly.
