Meta's New Smart Glasses: A Glimpse into the Future of Wearable Technology

Meta’s latest innovation, the smart glasses codenamed Orion, remains inaccessible for purchase, likely not available for several years. However, their significance is undeniable. Orion symbolizes Meta's commitment to augmented reality (AR) as the cornerstone of future technology.

In this episode of Tech Media Sitecast, Alex Heath shares his firsthand experience with Orion, spending two hours immersed in its potential—playing Pong with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, making smoothies, and exploring various applications. Heath also discusses his insightful conversation with Zuckerberg on the intersections of AR, AI, and future technologies.

The backdrop for this discussion is Meta Connect, where various announcements were made, including new smart glasses, updated VR headsets, revamped celebrity AIs, and innovative voice modes. Yet, our primary focus remains on Orion, which raises questions about its nature—whether it's a prototype, a potential reality, or somewhere in between. Its very existence reflects significant advancements in technology.

After delving into Meta's announcements, we explore the recent executive and corporate shifts at OpenAI. Finally, we dive into a lightning round, covering a new profile on Jony Ive, the anticipated PS5 Pro, Google's impressive gadget lineup, and the current status of the Rabbit R1.
