Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta (formerly Facebook), recently provided an update on the company’s augmented reality (AR) efforts. In a conversation with YouTuber Lex Fridman, Zuckerberg revealed that Meta is working on a pair of AR glasses codenamed ‘Orion,’ which are being developed in partnership with Ray-Ban. The Orion glasses are expected to be released in 2024 and will feature a sleek design, aiming to avoid the ’tan line’ issue associated with bulky headsets. Zuckerberg emphasized that the glasses will be a stepping stone towards Meta’s long-term goal of creating true augmented reality glasses that can overlay digital objects seamlessly into the real world. While the initial version may have limited capabilities, it represents a significant milestone in Meta’s journey towards the metaverse.
