seriously, its so simple but why hasnt it been done sooner? I demo'd the apple vision pro and sometimes i had to move my hand in vision of the device's sensors to pickup my pinch actions, but the wristband here seems like such an easy solution for any kind of hand tracking
@@3htthexy While the band is able to pick up nerve impulses corresponding to finger motions (and possibly wrist motions, IDK), I doubt it inherently has the ability to communicate the hand’s position relative to the glasses. I would guess that the glasses optically track the position of the band or user’s hand. So the band is good for giving non-spacial input in general, but I would assume that the user’s hand still needs to be in the view of the glasses’ sensors any time its position is needed.
@3htthexy because Zuck is sinking BILLIONS INTO THIS TECH R&D! While the rest of big tech was mocking them. If apple doesn't have a viable product to match these glasses within 2 months, they are toast. 😂
@@EMLtheViewer yeah, but just the capability of being to do any input while not having your hand within the sensors range is already pretty massive to me. Honestly I'm surprised we haven't figured out how to track items in the real worldspace relative to other items, i would think a combination of gyro and motion sensors would be able to achieve something like that but i guess not?
@@3htthexy Of course! I don’t mean to diminish it. There are definitely great applications for just non-spacial gesture-based inputs. IMUs tend to drift due to unavoidable imperfections and interference. Optical or laser-based tracking methods give devices a point of reference to counteract drift.

Yeah, and eventually it'll be like phones today, where you have budget options with less power, smaller field of view, etc for cheaper. And by that time, a model line this will be $300 while the advanced model with photorealistic graphics will be regularly priced. Exciting time to be alive! AI and tech in general are getting exciting again. I was too young for the Web boom and the Phone boom, but as a developer, I'm right on time to develop apps for AR glasses that might be the next Uber or something! Lol
I would rather say its the only innovator in the tech industry. Most big companies have stopped trying something new and want to provide minute upgrades ever year
There is nothing to win. There is even alternative to iPhone and MacBooks and cars... I see apple dominating beccause of having iPhones and MacBooks, but sure there is place for others like facebook for budget glasses, something like what is Android to iOS.
They could win, if they weren't so completely horrible at UX. As a quest 3 owner, the UX is such a complete mess and such a horrible, frustrating experience that me, as well as frankly most people I know don't touch their headsets once the VR honey moon period is over.
I can't tell you! how many times I've crafted a display of smoothie ingredients and couldn't figure out what to do with 'em. Mark's a life saver. Imagine all the glucose, I won't even need AI.
These definitely look like a sleeker more wearable version of the rayneo x2 glasses. And looks like you can't see what he is seeing from side angles don't know if you can see what he is looking at head on. The tech is progressing definitely.
Interesting I just start to think about it...I started with computers in early 80s... since then almost every day for 8hrs+ daily, CRTs till early 2000s and my vision is still 20/20. Lucky me looks like.
I think what everyone in the comments is missing is that while yes, this is a great prototype what's going to truly be incredibly is 5 years from now. Think iPhone 4 level refinement. Then iPhone X level, basically the glasses we have today.
These look great. I will be an early adopter *BUT* I want them to include rear view cams that I can view in my peripheral vision right & left so that I know who's behind me, how close they are, and what they're doing. IOW exactly like when you're driving in your car. With those added I'm sold already.🤓
An additional larger battery pack should be allowed and made the clip onto the two tangs at the back of the glasses that will sit on along the lower crest of the rear of the head
LEEETSSS GOOOO!!! this is incredible tech! I'm ready! I'm gonna start saving for the consumer release, which i assume will come in premium and affordable, buying the premium ones!
Meta has a big problem, but with these Orion glasses, that problem could become history. As it stands, users can only watch Facebook and Instagram ads when they have at least one hand free. With these Orion glasses, users will be able to watch Facebook and Instagram ads for as long as they stay awake. I guess the next big problem is how to show ads while users are sleeping - but I’m sure Meta already has a prototype for a nightcap that will inject Facebook and Instagram ads into our brains while we sleep.
wow. this tech is a lot closer than i thought… just gotta make it smaller, maybe introduce the first gen as a phone accessory and use the phone to do the processing? lots of potential
This cost them $10,000 to build, per pair. We won't be seeing them until 5 years from now, or whenever apple decides to announce their own glasses. Whichever comes first. Plans for shrinking them are already in the works, with claims that the first consumer iteration could be reduced by potentially 50%. If they can actually achieve this that would be insane.
Your normal glasses are just as big as the Orion glasses 😂 Once these glasses are released you’re not going to have much of a difference in experience of using your normal glasses 😂
I have a huge concern with the glasses in that what if you fell into a pool.. the battery went boom.. and its on your face... I'm not a big fan of putting the battery in the headset at all... just give me a DC to RF in the puck, and a RF to DC in the glasses so that I can wirelessly power the device.

Everything starts somewhere. These Orion glasses are 3-5 years away from the consumer market. Meta is so far ahead. they're able to show tech of this magnitude off, saying, "we don't know when it'll get here." They know when it does, it literally launch the week before apple announces their AR glasses, and it'll be cheaper than apples, too.
It's costing them $10,000 to build, per pair. The materials aren't easy or cheap to produce, and the yields for defect free systems is low. They need time to refine the manufacturing process and find alternative cost-effective solutions so they don't completely price gouge consumers.
Orion is the new deal! i will wait final of next year for sure..maybe it launchs in 2025? these fly screens makes me wanna watch youtube and netflix everywhere finally Heavy Rain detective glasses is on the way

this is alien tech.
The question is, will this technology ever be mainstream? Hate glasses, I switched to contacts years ago. And who doesn’t need a break from tech, once in a while
I don't care what they look like, if they don't invade my privacy, or come with a subscription/expire I'll love them.
the fact they didn't inform him to bring contacts just tells you how unserious Meta is as a company
And he used zucks contacts?? lol
The design is very chonky but it fits right at home in art colleges
They plan to shrink it down nearly %50 for the consumer launch. That's a goal that have among many others. If that happens every one wins!
