The Meta Orion AR glasses, formerly known as Project Nazare, come equipped with a holographic display that allows users to overlay 2D and 3D content on real-world objects. Its USP is the integration of Meta AI, which enables visual lookup and contextual information, such as recipes, while scanning content. Although still a prototype, Meta plans to release a final consumer version of Orion in the future, which will offer the look of traditional glasses while providing an immersive AR experience.
