Meta’s Orion glasses show that consumer AR wearables are almost here

For about a decade, Meta has been working on an audacious project: AR glasses stylish enough to pass as regular eyewear, and yet so powerful that they could one day replace the smartphone. “When we started, we actually thought that there was less than a 10 percent chance that we could make it happen,” admits Meta AR devices VP Ming Hua.

And yet, at this week’s Meta developer conference, the company showed off Orion: An AR glasses prototype that comes closer to this vision than any other dev

But the downside to capturing every moment is that it creates a mountain of those moments to save for the future. Those photos can be easily lost if they’r
