The WILDEST Tech I’ve Ever Tried - Meta Orion

I got an exclusive look at Meta's revolutionary Orion AR glasses and it is WILD. This isn't your typical VR headset - they're lightweight true AR glasses that blend the digital and physical worlds seamlessly. While still in development, Orion feels like a genuine leap forward in computing. I also got to interview the CTO of Meta, Andrew Bosworth AKA Boz about the development of the Meta Orion.

First, we were worried about the bezels on our phones. Now, we have to think about bezels on our glasses.

[ScottThePisces]

The way that we have Tony Stark glasses with AI in 2024 is wild. If we make it to 2050 the world is gonna look so different

[TheJonathanExp]

This makes me very happy since I've been preaching for years that the only way to achieve mass adoption for AR/VR is to offload compute from the glasses to an intermediate device + cloud computing so the glasses can be extremely sleek and unobtrusive with all-day battery power. Next I want wrap-around glasses like Star Trek for total immersion🎉

[AcepilotGaming]

If this gets big, everyone remember that our phones put into a cardboard box strapped to our faces crawled so stuff like this could sprint

[MrJack-cqdc]

Around 10000 for smart glasses and Meta doesn't want to release them? Apple would just release them for double that.

3:28 The Quest 3 512 GB model was cut to $500; the 128 GB model was $500 to begin with. It's been discontinued and existing stock is being priced at $430.

[simpletutorialsdaily]

It's incredible seeing how far AR and VR have come. I'm so excited to witness what more advancements these technologies will bring in the future.

[Tidbitfrosty]

The real question is, does it come in a monocle visor format and will it tell me everyone's power level?

[FoxTheRad]

This is so so so cool, we're probably years and years off of this being consumer ready, but I can imagine a version of this coming out in 5 years for the market that Microsoft was targeting with the Hololens.

[shablam]

I can’t explain how fucking cool I think this is

[davetherebel]

The dev talks is very infectious, you can feel the passion from the guy. I appreciate when it's the people working on it getting interviewed, you can tell there proud of there work especially solving each problem and persevering

[PedroHenriquePS]

for making the apple vision into a thin glass and very thin they could offload the heavy prossesing data to the iphone and have the neural thing be integrated in the apple watch, so in the glass there is no powerful and heavy processor, but just the transparent screen, a smaller battery and the antennas

[frankieinjapan]

Honestly, after getting a Quest 3, i was completely blown away with the mixed reality. Yes the passthrough quality is awful, but i was walking around my house with a computer on my head, and leaving screens around the building. I can definitely see this being the future. Considering we have super computers in our pocket (relatively speaking), all we need is the glasses, and some kind of solid wireless connectivity. I'll 100% jump in then.

[Unspairing]

Turn the wristband and device into a smartwatch and meta will be laughing as they replace phones.

[ChaseSchleich]

Yes! We're getting there. Get them slightly smaller and add a bunch of applications for it and I think it will become very popular tech. I think we'll see AR in our car windshields giving us a constant stream of information, including GPS directly in front of you instead of down to the right on a screen you have to look away to see. Windows in homes letting you know the temperature outside, pollen/allergy levels, the state of your home security system, the ability to zoom in like a camera, all sorts of uses.
If solid state batteries come to market and work as well as they're claimed to, that will also revolutionize what's possible for small tech like AR glasses

[MudSluggerBP]

Can’t wait for all the Darwin Award winners videos of “influencers” walking into traffic 😂

[jeffeweizen]

10:13 Boz looked mighty uncomfortable when he just picks up the wireless processing puck lol

[PigPenSnaps]

Yep… this is end game for AR. Give me a pair of those glasses with a 5G connection and you can have my iPhone.

[liv]

This was on my thoughts for years, seeing it actually being developed is kinda cool

[bungalowfeuhler]

I’ve been thinking all along that the only way that VR/AR will ever truly take off is if it’s done with standard glasses/sunglasses that project objects into the real world. Those objects must stay in the exact same place, even if you don’t use them for a month. And they need to be visible to every user occupying the space. So we can put shopping lists on our fridge that the whole family can add to and the person doing the shopping can then view them at the store. I can decorate my living room with Christmas lights or pieces of art and my family will come home and see them too. We could get rid of all of our screens and just have AR ones. When I turn on my Platstation, I could play it on a screen that nobody else sees or I could play multiplayer with a family member who’s in another room.
