JAKARTA - During the live broadcast of the Meta Connect 2024, the tech giant owned by Mark Zuckerberg introduced Orion, the Augmented Reality (AR) glasses that they claimed were the most advanced they had ever made.

Meta says that Orion has the widest field of view in the form of the smallest AR glasses to date. Thus, opening the sharing of multi-task windows and live entertainment screens in the physical world.

Orions are the result of miniaturization of their components are packaged up to a fraction of a millimeter. Dozens of innovations are needed to produce designs in contemporary forms that are comfortable to wear every day," Meta said.

Unlike the current MR headset or other AR glasses, you will still be able to see the eyes and expressions of others in the real world, so you can come and share experiences with the people around you.

Interestingly, Meta also brings its AI assistant Meta AI to Orion. Thus, this assistant will be able to understand what you see in the real world and can help you with useful visualization.

So, you can open the refrigerator and ask for a recipe based on what's in it. Or, make video calls with friends while tuning the digital family calendar when you wash the dishes," he concluded.

Meta also promises to continue to improve the experience available through Orion today to build a deep new social experience, in the future.

Starting today on Connect and continuing throughout the year, Meta opens access to the Orion product prototype for employees of Meta and certain external audiences, so the development team can learn, repeat, and build towards the AR eyewear product line to begin shipping in the near future.
