Introduction: Mark Zuckerberg
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled
new artificial intelligence and mixed
reality products at his annual Connect
developer conference on Wednesday,
including a futuristic version of holographic
glasses. Determine the next stage of the system.
Zuckerberg unveiled a prototype of his holographic
Orion smart glasses, which allow users to overlay
digital objects in the real world and control them
using brain waves in a “neural interface,” he said.
The glasses are not currently available, and Zuckerberg
did not give a specific time frame for when or at what
price they will be available. According to him,
the prototype gives an idea of the company’s future activities.
The holographic smart glasses use a completely new type of display,
Zuckerberg said when he put them on. “This is not a passing phenomenon, this is a real world covered in holograms,” he said.
According to Zuckerberg, the glasses “use voice and artificial intelligence to track hand and eye movements, but there is also a more elegant method – using a neural interface – that sends a signal from your brain to the device”.
In a play written for an audience of Meta Software developers and partners, the glasses were carried on stage in a silver metal case that was attached to the wearer’s wrist.
Orion Glass has proven to be a technical challenge for the company’s engineers, but represents a major improvement for Meta, which currently offers a much more limited selection of “smart glasses” devices. Meta has introduced an update to its popular RayBan smart glasses, which the company produces and sells in collaboration with eyewear giant EssilorLuxottica.
The glasses don’t have mixed reality capabilities, but they do have voice-based AI capabilities that can translate languages in real time, as well as take notes and create reminders, such as remembering parking lot numbers.
“It’s been a very busy year. A lot of things that we’ve been talking about for a long time — and it’s happening now — we can start to see what the future of computing looks like, of human connection, and that’s really exciting,” Zuckerberg said.
