Meta AR Glasses

At Connect 2024, Meta unveiled Orion AR glasses, claiming they were the most cutting-edge in the world.

Orion uses AI, holograms, hand tracking, and a neural wristband.

[{ "selector": ".tuili-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-341px)", "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible" }, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"} ] }]

It allows hands-free use—like messaging or calling—via gestures and voice.

Zuckerberg says Orion could replace smartphones in the future.

Meta’s CTO called Orion their most advanced product ever.

[{ "selector": ".dzmcq-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 15px))", "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"} ] }]

But mass use is still years away, say Meta and other tech leaders.

[{ "selector": ".sieol-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 470px))", "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"} ] }]

Experts say smartphones will stay dominant for at least 2–3 years.

[{ "selector": ".gpxrl-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-269px)", "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible" }, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"} ] }]

Orion offers seamless multitasking and real-time info access.

[{ "selector": ".tsdrg-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(-243px)", "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"} ] }]

Challenges include battery, comfort, display, and privacy.

[{ "selector": ".ttdqj-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 101px))", "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"} ] }]

Earlier, Meta launched Ray-Ban AI glasses in 2023 with basic smart features.

[{ "selector": ".mtciw-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(-226px)", "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"} ] }]

In 2025, Oakley Meta glasses added better battery and camera.

[{ "selector": ".xnpqm-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 490px))", "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"} ] }]

Oakley Meta feels more refined but still limited in function.

[{ "selector": ".xzufa-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 21px))", "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"} ] }]

Current smart glasses act more as phone companions, not replacements.

[{ "selector": ".wrmlg-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 85px))", "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1", "visibility" :"visible"} ] }]

Overall, Meta is betting AI + AR glasses are the future beyond phones.
