Here’s a hands-on look at Meta Orion, which are touted as the most advanced pair of augmented reality (AR) glasses yet. How so? It offers the largest field of view in the smallest AR glasses form factor to date, unlocking a multitude of use cases including multitasking windows and big-screen entertainment to life-sized holograms of people.
Most importantly, users can still see other people’s eyes and expressions, so you can be present and share the experience with the people around you without having to toggle with any passthrough technology. Meta AI is integrated directly into Orion, so it understands what you’re looking at in the physical world and can help you with useful visualizations. What’s next? Before unveiling the commercial version, the engineering team plans on tuning the AR display quality to make the visuals even sharper, optimize the form factor to make it even smaller, and build at scale to ensure a reasonable price tag.

Orion is a feat of miniaturization – the components are packed down to a fraction of a millimeter. Dozens of innovations were required to get the design down to a contemporary form that you’d be comfortable wearing every day,” said Meta.
