At its annual Meta Connect developers conference, CEO Mark Zuckerberg introduced a new $299 Quest 3S virtual reality headset, updates to Meta AI and a new version of its open-source Llama AI model. He also unveiled enhancements to the company’s smart glasses and showed off a prototype of augmented reality glasses that Zuckerberg called “The most advanced glasses the world has ever seen.”

Based on the demo, these Orion glasses seem amazing. They have holographic lenses that superimpose digital images over see-through lenses on what looks nearly like a normal pair of glasses. But there’s a big difference between an impressive prototype and an actual product. As exciting as this is, I’d prefer to focus on products that you can buy.
