Owner of Facebook, Meta Platforms, unveiled Orion, the company’s first functional augmented reality goggles prototype. The California-based startup outlined its goals for devices that will integrate virtual and real life experiences.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg declared, “This is the physical world with holograms overlaid on it,” as he dramatically removed the bulky black glasses from a metal case that had been handed to him on stage.
“For now, I think the right way to look at Orion is as a time machine,” he stated. “These glasses exist, they are awesome and they are a glimpse of a future that I think is going to be pretty exciting.”
Meta also unveiled a new Quest mixed-reality headset and additional AI chatbot features for its services.
