Imagine a world where your glasses could do more than just help you see. At its recent Connect event, Meta unveiled their latest innovation: the Orion AR glasses. According to Meta, Orion is the “most advanced pair of AR glasses ever made.” Here’s what you need to know about Orion.
Meta is opening up access to the Orion prototype for its employees and selected external audiences.

One of the primary focuses for Meta with the Orion glasses is enhancing the AR display quality. The goal is to provide users with sharper and more vibrant visuals, making digital content blend seamlessly with the real world. Alongside improving display quality, Meta is also dedicated to optimising the form factor of the glasses, aiming to make them lighter and more comfortable for everyday use. This approach is crucial as wearable technology should feel as natural as any regular pair of glasses.
