Meta is working on Meta AR glasses For some time. Dubbed Project Nazari, it was originally rumored to be launched in 2024 but has since been launched. I mentioned that it was delayed So much so that it will never be released commercially.
Turns out the rumors about the Meta AR glasses were exaggerated, though it’s still too late.the edge (Opens in a new tab) I reported on a leaked AR/VR roadmap submitted to the Meta Reality Labs division, and Meta’s fully augmented reality glasses are the “holy grail” at the map end. Now codenamed “Orion,” these high-end augmented reality glasses are set to begin internal testing with Meta staff in 2024, with a full launch in 2027 as part of a product line of augmented reality glasses dubbed Innovation.
This roadmap has also been leaked More details on Meta Quest 3 — which is rumored to be launched later this year. If the roadmap is accurate, the Meta Quest 3 It will definitely be stronger than its predecessor. Meta Quest 2, but it will also be more expensive. Hopefully, it will prove to be enough of an upgrade to justify the higher price.
Meta already owns a pair of smart glasses. Ray Ban stories It is a collaboration between Meta and eyewear manufacturer Luxottica that comes with a camera that allows users to take photos and videos to share on Facebook and Instagram. Despite not making a huge splash, they did actually surprise some people including Kate Kosuch, who recently I bring them on her vacation. According to the Meta roadmap, a second pair of these smart glasses will be released later this fall, likely with similar functionality.
However, in 2025, Meta plans to release a third version – this time with upgrades. Reportedly, AR Alex Himel, Meta VP of AR Alex Himel told members of the Meta Reality Labs team that these glasses will come with a screen in the lenses dubbed a “viewfinder” that allows the wearer to scan QR codes, read messages, and more. The other end trick for this third generation of Stories will be a “neural interface scope” that allows users to control smart glasses with hand gestures.
Around this time, Meta will also launch its first smartwatch. This isn’t the first time a “Meta Watch” has been rumored – it’s said about Meta He pulled the plug on his smartwatch last November. But while the focus of that smartwatch was a detachable screen and cameras, this planned new smartwatch appears to be designed with the intention of working in concert with smartglasses and their neural interface technology.
In fact, The Verge suggests that the smartwatch be sold as an accessory to smart glasses, rather than as a standalone device. It will allow you to control your glasses, act as a second display and even integrate with Meta apps from Facebook to WhatsApp.
Finally, there is Project Orion, formerly known as Project Nazare. These augmented reality glasses will display high-quality 3D overlays and avatars, and — according to Roadmap — won’t come cheap.
Orion will become available to Meta employees in 2024 for internal testing, and a full launch is expected in 2027. It will serve as the flagship of the “innovation” Meta line, while the fourth generation of Ray-Bans smart glasses (or their successor) and the smartwatch will be part From a less advanced “scale” font.
Internally, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg refers to these Orion AR glasses as the “Holy Grail” and that they will redefine how we use technology. However, the glasses are like new Xiaomi AR glasses Show us how many hurdles AR glasses still have to overcome to achieve mass adoption.
Of course, Apple is working on its own Apple Glasses according to multiple reports, but there is no set timeline for its release. But it is rumored that the Apple VR / AR headset will be launched as soon as June at the Apple WWDC 2023 event.
