This episode, Robert and Haley take us on a journey through Meta’s latest AR innovation—the Orion prototype. Unveiled at Meta Connect, Orion shows off an early look at Meta’s vision for AR interfaces, designed to be sleek, transparent, and wearable in everyday life. While Orion itself won’t reach consumers, its groundbreaking interface gives a glimpse into Meta's future AR ambitions.

In this episode, we dive into:

  • Orion's Unique Interface: Discover why Meta built Orion’s OS from scratch instead of using Quest’s Horizon OS.
  • The Challenge of AR: Understand how Meta navigates the limited computing power of AR glasses compared to headsets like Quest.
  • A New Platform for Everyday Life: We discuss what Meta’s push toward a new operating system could mean for tech, lifestyle, and how we’ll interact with digital tools on the go.

Join us as we dissect Orion’s potential and speculate on how Meta’s unique approach might define the next era of AR technology.
