At the just-concluded meta Connect 2024 conference, meta released the first AR glasses Orion.
In fact, in April this year, after meta launched a wide range of AI functions such as translation, object recognition, animal and scene recognition in the smart glasses meta Ray-Ban, people are full of expectations for meta’s first AR glasses. Unsurprisingly, Orion is also equipped with AI functions.
In terms of AI functions, Orion is equipped with the AI assistant meta AI, which can perceive and understand the world around the wearer, provide users with more information about the things they see, and can predict and proactively meet the wearer's various needs.
In order to clearly visualize AI information, Orion uses silicon carbide instead of glass to make lenses in the display part, which canIt eliminates optical artifacts or stray light problems and has a higher refractive index. In addition, Orion is also equipped with a Micro LED+ optical waveguide display optical solution, which enables its viewing angle to reach 70°.
In addition, Orion also embeds 7 miniature cameras and sensors into the frame and temples, weighing 98 grams. It is also equipped with an EMG (electromyography) control wristband and a pocket-friendly computing aid.
meta stated that although Ray-Ban meta pioneered a new type of screenless glasses powered by artificial intelligence, the XR industry has always dreamed of creating true AR glasses that combine the advantages of large holographic displays and personalized artificial intelligence assistance to achieve comfortable, stylish, and all-day wearable AR glasses. Therefore, meta created Orion based on these concepts.
Currently, the Orion product prototype is only open to meta employees and specific third-party audiences. meta will continue to optimize Orion and will officially ship it in the near future.
