▾Meta introduced revolutionary Orion glasses: The future of augmented reality is here
Meta introduced Orion, the world's most advanced AR glasses. They combine the appearance of regular glasses with augmented reality capabilities. With a holographic display and integrated AI, they open new possibilities for interaction with the digital world. In addition, they allow hands-free video calls, display messages, and provide real-time contextual information.
Imagine walking down the street and a arrow appears in front of you showing the way to your favorite café. Or seeing a notification about an important email in the corner of your eye during a conversation. All this without having to pull your phone out of your pocket. Welcome to the world of smart Orion glasses from Meta.
Orion: The world's most advanced AR glasses
The state-of-the-art Orion glasses, formerly known as the mysterious Project Nazare, are not just another high-tech gadget. It's a small revolution that comfortably sits on your nose. With this project, Meta is pushing the boundaries of what we thought was possible in the realm of augmented reality.
The glasses look like ordinary fashion accessories but hide a world of unlimited possibilities. It's like wearing an entire multimedia studio right in front of your eyes. And the best part is, you don't need to be Tony Stark to use them.
What makes Orion so unique? There are three key features that could change the way we perceive the world around us.
Digital playground without boundaries
Imagine being able to have as many virtual screens around you as you want. Want to work on several projects at once or watch Netflix while cooking dinner? With Orion, it's a breeze.
AI that reads your thoughts
Orion comes equipped with artificial intelligence that learns your habits and preferences. It's like having a personal assistant who knows what you need before you even say it. For instance, it might suggest a recipe based on what it finds in your fridge.
Comfort first
Unlike cumbersome VR headsets, Orion glasses are lightweight and stylish. You can wear them all day and still see the world around you.
From Ray-Ban to the future
Remember the Ray-Ban smart glasses from Meta? That was just the beginning. Orion is like their older, smarter, and much more capable sibling. While Ray-Ban allowed you to listen to music and take calls, Orion opens the gate to the world of augmented reality.
What the glasses can do:
- Video calls with friends who appear to be sitting right in front of you
- Sending messages with a blink of an eye
- Viewing your calendar
- Creating 3D models right in the air in front of you
- 24/7 access to the AI assistant
Meta plans to put Orion in the hands of its employees and selected partners. Only the test results will determine the future of this technology. Therefore, Orion might not hit the market until the coming years.

OpenAI funds research on artificial intelligence morality
OpenAI is investing a million dollars into research at Duke University aimed at developing algorithms that predict human moral judgments. The research team previously created an AI system for decision-making in transplants. Current AI systems, however, operate solely on a statistical basis and lack true understanding of ethics. Furthermore, different AI systems uphold different philosophical stances on morality.

AI slows down: lack of computational power hinders development
The lack of computational power hinders the development of artificial intelligence. OpenAI faces challenges in developing new products such as an improved ChatGPT with visual recognition and new versions of DALL-E and Sora. The increasing complexity of AI models requires enormous computational capacity, which slows down innovation and the launch of new features on the market.
