Meta's Orion prototype makes the most compelling case yet for augmented reality.

Orion is the most impressive AR hardware I’ve seen.

It’s still way too early to know if it will actually pay off.

Orion's shape and size is closer to a traditional pair of frames, but they’re still noticeably wide and chunky.

Orion has a 70-degree field of view, much more immersive than Snap's AR Spectacles .

Orion’s displays rely on silicon carbide lenses , micro-LED projectors and waveguides.

At 13 pixels per degree, the colors all seemed somewhat muted and projected text was noticeably fuzzy.

Orion is still just that: a glimpse into how Meta views the future.
