In this episode, Robert and Haley take you on a journey through Meta’s groundbreaking new AR glasses, Orion. These aren’t your average smart glasses; Orion is the closest yet to sci-fi-style augmented reality, blending digital overlays seamlessly with the real world. From intuitive eye-tracking and gesture-based control to impressive multitasking capabilities, Orion offers a fascinating look at what a smartphone-free future might look like.
Join us as we explore:
- Orion’s tech breakdown: 70-degree field of view, silicon carbide lenses, and that crucial electromyography (EMG) wristband for hands-free control.
- The real-world experience of using Orion, from playing AR games to taking video calls and following AI-generated recipes.
- Challenges ahead: Lowering the $10,000 production cost and overcoming resolution and brightness issues.
Could Orion be the next leap in personal computing? Tune in as we break down what’s here, what’s missing, and what could make these futuristic glasses a true tech revolution.
