Part 7/11:
Beyond AI models, Meta is making substantial progress in AR and VR technology. The most notable announcement is the Orion AR glasses, a next-generation wearable designed to project digital media—images, games, and even people—into the real world. These glasses boast the widest field of view in the industry, promising an immersive experience more profound than current offerings.
While Orion glasses are still in development, with a targeted consumer release around 2027, Meta is actively testing prototypes internally and with select developers. The company also continues to build on the success of its Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, which have seen remarkable sales growth, suggesting strong consumer interest in AI-powered wearables.
