And based on what we’ve seen they could be the world’sbest AR glasseswhen they launch.
Theyre not quite perfect yet, but Orion teases a potentially incredible consumer product when it launches.
Orion won’t be as cheap as the Ray-Ban smart glasses
But when could that be?
And how much might Metas AR glasses cost?
What specs and features will they even offer?
Orion won’t be as cheap as the Ray-Ban smart glasses
Unfortunately, it wont be as cheap as Metas other XR tech and glasses.
One is to make them more affordable (viaMeta) by using practices like building Orion at scale.
Alas, this has beenclarified by Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth.
Assuming Artemis/Orion arent delayed, our best bet for a more specific launch date is October 2027.
Meta could always choose to mix things up but were not expecting it to.
However, thats not to say we dont have an idea what Orions final form might look like.
Firstly, Meta has said it wants to slim down the glasses and keep them light.
We also expect that the glasses will take design cues from Ray-Ban glasses.
Meta might need to avoid creating clear consumer Orions like it has with the existing Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses.
As for features, we know Orion boasts AR and AI tools.
Plus we expect several other AI tools will launch in the coming years that Orion should also possess.
Without these AI tools the glasses just arent as impressive.
AR gaming is a must for Orion
