, it represented a bit of a new direction for the company.

The early Orion AR glasses prototype Zuckerberg showed off today don't mean Meta will be ready to release a pair of consumer AR glasses any time soon. But the demo represents a new vision for lightweight, wide-ranging, see-through smartglasses that Zuckerberg calls "a glimpse of the future" and "the dream of Reality Labs."

Not your average screen
The core challenge of building a pair of comfortable augmented-reality glasses, Zuckerberg said, is that "they have to be glasses." That means no bulky headset (a la Quest), no wires (a la Apple Vision Pro), and a weight of less than 100 grams (compared to a full 515g for the Meta Quest 3). While there's a tiny battery and "custom silicon" in those light-weight glasses, Zuckerberg did admit that some processing is done in a "small puck" that connects wirelessly to the glasses themselves.
