Meta has long been rumored to be working on augmented reality smart glasses. It looks like we will finally be able to see them this year.
Business Insider cites sources at Meta as saying the company plans to show off a pair of “real” augmented reality smart glasses this fall at Meta Connect. The glasses received the internal name Orion. They are a separate product from the recently launched Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses and Meta Quest headsets. The publication also says that Meta is under a lot of internal pressure to have a high-quality demo, and some company insiders have been experimenting with advanced prototypes.
However, it looks like the Orion glasses are still ready to be shown off in general. Business Insider says that even if the glasses are shown at Meta Connect, they won’t be available to the general public. Last year, it was reported that the company was planning an “internal” launch of the glasses in 2024, with a public release scheduled for 2027. It is likely that by then we will see the third generation of Ray-Ban smart glasses (2025), which will receive a “neural interface strip” as an input device. Most likely, the demonstration will be a means of drawing the public’s attention to what is to come.
