📱 What You Need to Know About Orion AR Glasses
Last week, Meta unveiled the Orion AR glasses, which, according to Mark Zuckerberg, will revolutionize augmented reality and replace smartphones. Here's a look at this innovative device's capabilities.
Advantages of Orion
1️⃣ Lightweight. The Orion glasses are the size of regular glasses and weigh only 100 grams. For comparison, the Apple Vision Pro weighs 650 grams.
2️⃣ Long-lasting battery. A single charge is enough for 2 hours of active use despite the device not having a large battery.
3️⃣ Real-time speech translation. Previously, such functionality was offered either by smartphone manufacturers or by OpenAI.
4️⃣ Eye-tracking control. The device reads brain signals using a bracelet (included with the glasses). Reviewers note that the eyes and head don't tire from controlling the device, and the bracelet makes gesture control more accurate.
5️⃣ Bridging digital and real worlds. Users can play spatial games, including with other glasses users, make calls with holograms, and use digital avatars.
