Great video, especially coving topics and points of view missed by other channels. If I may add a recommendation by adding what would make these tech even better / wish list and what the audience would like to see. I would like to see these connect up to Steam and consoles (XBOX, PS, Nintendo) or retirement community setup for socializing or playing games together (bowling, or any other sport that is no longer physicaly capable of participating sort of like what Nintendo Wii did but better). If AR glasses they might have to use Sony Playstations Blue Ray plan on taking over the market which was so elegantly described in the Movie Tropic Thunder..... Kevin Sandusky: Now, if you recall that whole hullabaloo where Hollywood was split into schisms, some studios backing Blu-ray disc, others backing HD DVD. People thought it would come down to pixel rate or refresh rate, and they're pretty much the same. What it came down to was a combination between gamers and porn. Now, whichever format porno backs is usually the one that becomes the uh most successful. But, you know, Sony, every PlayStation 3 has a Blu-ray in it. Kirk Lazarus: You talkin' to me this whole time? Kevin Sandusky: I was talking to whoever was listening. Kirk Lazarus: Jesus Christ, man!
Watching the awesome tech journalists I love go from being accountable to the publishers they work for- to becoming fully independent content creators has been one of my favorite trends for over a decade in tech journalism. First Micheal Fisher, then Dieter, and now you, not to mention Jaime Rivera- it's such a reminder that we followed those publishers not for the company but for you guys- getting to support y'all much more directly now is really awesome and inspiring
To me, the true innovation is that bracelet. They're sitting on a goldmine if they can release an API to make that the new universal controller for all things. I can imagine sitting at any place where there's a computing device and pairing using a presented gesture and immediately having full control of the computing device. No hands touching filthy surfaces, mice, trackpads, keyboards... This would really change everything. Forget the glasses. I want these bracelets.
the ifixit guide is an amazing idea for AR! i would love if it kept track of the screws and simply put a circle around the one i need when reassembling something
Not ridiculous, but sort of funny. The glasses reminded me of those gag glasses with big eyebrows and attached moustache. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family from Ontario, Canada.
I feel like the applications of this get really cool once you think about how it could help with people's jobs and tasks and things like that. Imagine a plumbing app that guides you through how to replace your shower head and pipes under the sink, an app that teaches you how to service your bike, turn by turn navigation (of course), tour guides that surface the history behind what you're looking at, 3D mapping of all the services underneath footpaths and roads for electrical works etc
Obviously very impressive technology but i don't think i would ever let a tech company access a live camera feed of what I'm seeing. Even if it starts off with a good privacy policy, companies like meta have proven themselves to not be trustworthy. Also, among people i know i feel like the mindset is that a lot of people are trying be on their phones less, not more, so i question how many people will want to have a screen attached to their head at all times. We'll see what the future holds i guess.
Love your channel 😃 Great job. This is a solid review too. It's just a pity that Meta wouldn't let you show what you saw. Your editing did well to make up for that!
So it appeared that the Mac was being used to both monitor what I was seeing and to run the demo. For example when it was time to play the game I didn’t select anything, it just started for me. And I assumed that the person on the computer was prompting the system to start. But it is very unclear is anything processing was being done for the device on that Mac.
Honestly, this is why I'm always happy when there are new faces in the review community. this doesn't always happen? But I would say that generally we see new experiences and perspectives just based on the fact that it's someone else having that experience. And that's relief useful to community.
Solid video as always! I love your focus on the human element of all of it. I wear glasses full time for my eyesight and would totally go for something like this in the future once the design and price are at a consumer level. I've always wondered if it stands a chance against the smartphone form factor as it would require convincing many people without glasses to start wearing them...
I've been wearing the Meta Rayban full-time for half a year now and I can say for myself that I am 100% invested into smart eye wear. I honestly love listening to audio books with my Raybans because it's so convenient to turn on and off, versus my airpods that I have to take on and off between office time and break time (also just have to store them). I usually almost don't use AI assistant, even ChatGPT, but I found myself using the Meta AI assistant to ask things that will come up as I work, again, because it is so convenient. Just ask and it'll tell you without having to grab your phone. All this works because the volume is low enough that only I can hear it and at the same time, I can still interact with everyone around me. If these AR glasses can give me the same thing while giving me some visual inputs, I'm all up for it. For example, while I'm okay listening to Meta assistant telling me the facts, I would like to see the answer in text for things that are more visual, like coding or a recipe, or what something looks like.
Raybans are absolutely useless in the UK. All the crap AI can say 'I can't do that on your glasses but I'm learning all the time' Like fuck they are...
I'm excited about this. There will be standard consumer uses, sure. But commercially this and many other future headsets will be crucial to health care, IT, training, safety, hospitality, etc... and I am excited about where all those fields go with this tech. Super jealous you got to experience it firsthand but extremely thankful you shared with us.
I think the most solid applications for AR will emerge in commercial and government spaces. It wouldn't be too much of a lift to integrate into existing PPE and the efficiency gains could easily justify the cost of implementation if it simplifies tasks or reduces errors.
It seems like they still haven’t solved the problem of making the UI visible against white/bright backgrounds. Every wall and many of the surfaces in the demo room were conspicuously grey and empty of clutter.
Use cases from Google's Android XR event: - live language translation (spoken and written) - statistics and other viewing angles while watching sporting events - 3d video recordings - reviews over restaurants - text reading and responding by voice - turn by turn navigation - instructions while hanging shelves - having ai tell you where you last placed something
Don't forget: All the things you do on your phone mostly; text, Discord, RUclips, Watch a movie but with a WAY better and larger screen, make and receive phone calls both video and audio. Google Maps for driving and now walking WAY easier than staring at your phone. For use cases in upgrading laser tag / airsoft / paintball field games is obvious. Games like Pokemon Go / Harry Potter would be FIRE AF with AR glasses!!
hiii, absolutely love your videos! i’m looking for a new camera and im just stuck on what exactly to buy cause im so used to the insane zoom of my sony dsc hx90v but i also want a bigger sensor and have no clue what to do. Could you suggest anything?
I am sold.. only wish that, instead of the bracelet, they could leverage smart watches and smart phones for the puck. That way, we wouldn't have to bother carrying along so many devices here and there. It could also provide meta with access into into the $0.6Trillion combined smart watch and smart phone market, as they offer "better integration".
What we have right now is the pioneering stages. So far Meta seems to have accomplished some technical hurdles which in time will allow the next generation to improve on. I'm hoping for a cooking function where it can detect ingredients in the fridge, utensils and cooking appliances you have, cooktop, pots and pans and then give you suggested recipes and AR guide on making the dish. Another thing I hope will happen is google maps v3.0 where it'll show you underground alternate routes.
I'm very much looking forward to good AR glasses. Foward as a good ways forward into the future as even this advanced tech shows they are still a number of innovations short of being ready for primetime.
Thanks for confirming that the overlaid imagery is even less saturated than what these promo clips show. I understand people want glasses not goggles but passthrough seems to be the only tech which can deliver the fidelity users will pay for.
ive been rockin the vuzix blade og & 2 when i saw orion’s concept it put anew found excitement for AR/SmartGlasses again, the z100 is my next stop but looking forward for orions to be brought to the public market… great content feelin the vibess 💯💯💯💯
Hey Becca, I know this might something you are not interested, but please review the HMD Barbie flip phone. I just love it when people review stuff when they are not the target market.
Give me one example of how AR glasses will enable us to do something we can't currently do with your smartphone or computer. Not a very fringe use case, for a very specific job, but a thing most people do regularly.
If I may offer some feedback on your lighting Becca. In this video I believe you have a back light that is severely messing with my eyes. Instead of providing a gentle fill light, it creates a highly illuminated and sharp silhouette behind your jawline which for my ADHD brain is very distracting. 😅
AR glasses: for the masses they are going to have to do everything a phone does now and more. Maps need to be in 3D and fun. AI needs to just show me an arrow as i walk out of a building because it knows where i am and my calendar for example. and this kind of thing needs to happen with several things from the start. they also have to have to be cool and like you said, if i can’t take money off and hand them to someone else to try very easily, AR won’t go any further than VR already has
i’m a little worried that Meta appears to be ahead of the game on this. It wasn’t that long ago that Mark was being forced against his will to apologise to the parents of dead children who his app had encouraged to first hate themselves and then kill themselves. naturally we never learn from mistakes. Facebook is one giant mistake and i can’t help thinking that the idea of putting on our faces is the worst possible idea we have had in tech. I can’t wait for AR glasses; but i will never wear something with Marks blood stained fingers prints on
The app optimizes for content that you most interact with. If your kids find self-harm content the most worth interacting with, that is your and society's failure, not Mark's.
Thank you. This ridiculous notion that Meta/Facebook is to blame for all the world's problems/deaths is hilarious. Let's remove all self-governing/parenting responsibilities and find an entity to blame. Sigh
I just can't get excited about real smart glasses until I can actually buy one. I was going to get the North glasses, then Google bought 'em and killed them. I was into Google Glass, but that died. I've been hurt too many times.
Use case: on prem face id. You walk around the office and peoples names are above there heads. Maybe a note about an upcoming event in there life. All of this data would need to stay in the office and not go out to the "cloud".
VR will be more niche, but AR will be more widely adopted. Just like gaming rigs and gamers have different gear then people who use tech for productivity and making everyday tasks easier.
I think in the long term all of Meta’s AR/VR endeavors will fizzle out into nothing, they don’t have the apps that matter. Don’t get me wrong I love my quest 3 (for gaming), but will ditch it immediately when the Apple Vision Pro becomes more affordable.
Maybe, but I doubt it. These AR glasses will be out sooner than people think and given the relative success of Meta Ray Bans alone there is most definitely a MASSIVE market for this given it has the ability to literally do anything you smart phone can do and WAY more. Someone will be first to market with the killer pair of AR and the rest will be history. VR will grow more from that but will always be more Niche because there will always be people with motion sickness, not to mention MOST people are not even close to hardcore gamers.
Thank you. But it should not be difficult to extrapolate how these will be in 10-20 years time. If Meta and others will continue the pace of R&D, releasing from time to time a commercially viable model (as they did successfully with Ray Ban). Miniaturization will continue, CPU power will grow, and battery use optimized or even close to revolutionized. Since AI is mostly in the cloud, and connection speeds are now in gigabytes scale, it'll be more of the same, but much faster and responsive, smaller and easier to wear, less intrusive, including some rudimentary brain wave controls, with far higher resolution and visual fidelity - and bingo - we have a complimentary device that'll surpass the value of earbuds as a peripheral but will become as popular. For those of us wearing glasses already, it's a no brainer to wear it on our faces, just as we already do hours everyday, with so much more utility on tap, compared to the one dimensional function of eyesight correction.
Those things are cool but man, they are still huge on your face. The lenses are still too thick in my opinion. Once the technology starts to improve and the lenses can be thinner, then I think they'll have something on their hands that the masses will enjoy. Thanks for shedding some light on this new tech! 🤙🏻
Thats why they are not selling Orion to the public. They need to get manufacturing/materials costs down and they plan on selling at the same price points as a high end smart phone.
I would describe it as "🤓" It can't do much, it reacts slowly to hand gestures and it just shoves a llm in it remotely from a computer. Even the whole thing about this failure is just about three times longer than the sponsored content.
My only concerned with AR is we seem to build the technology for the sake of building... technology. Then hope that developers will come up with something. For me that's a backward way of thinking of what technology is for. It should be "today I'm doing [X], but it would be life changing if I can to [X] if this tech existed.
End-user experience stopped being a priority a LONG time ago. Its frustrating. I thought I was doing thing that helped me be connected to more people, but now, I’m anything but that. And what’s worse, I’m still not connected to anyone I care about in the real world either. Having a fkng screen ON MY EYEBALLS is probably something that isn’t going to help improve the quality of my life.
Given the fact that AR can do everything your phone could do a LOT more while keeping from having to pull out your phone for the most BASIC shit you can get done with the glasses on your face. At some point for most people in their lives we all need glasses and just about everyone wears sunglasses from time to time. Its obvious that when you add steroscopic AR/VR capabilities you can now have a workspace, an entertainment space, audio books, AR MMO games like Poke Mon Go / Harry Potter go absolutely NEXT level. Being able to have a Friday like AR assistant like Tony Starks AR glasses is what we are talking about here. Ya'll have very little imagination. It took me five minutes back in 2018 to see where this was all going and a year later I was working as data collections analyst for Facebook's , Facebook Reality Labs. And the more I learned about this tech and where its going, the more OBVIOUS it has become its absolutely going to be as ubiquitous as smart phones; everyone will own a pair.
Hi @@WigganNuG. I appreciate your passion for AR/VR-it’s a sentiment I share. As a product designer and long-time enthusiast (I’ve followed Oculus since Kickstarter and own a Vision Pro and PSVR2), I fully believe AR/VR will transform computing, whether through glasses, contacts, or even implants (as long as they’re safe). My earlier comment wasn’t about doubting the tech or its direction-it was about the lack of clarity in why it’s being built. Without a clear focus on how AR/VR will benefit people right now, it risks feeling like “tech for tech’s sake,” which shows a lack of priority on the very users it’s meant to help. It reminds me of the early PC days, where we focused on specs instead of usability, or pre-iPhone smartphones that lacked a cohesive vision. AR/VR needs that kind of clarity to truly resonate, and I’m excited for the day it reaches that tipping point.
The innovation in this space is moving way too slow. We obviously want AR and HUD technology. Why are people even asking this question at this point? The companies creating the tech though have been very lackluster with what they are providing so far though. Maybe the sophistication is just not here yet, but we need to acting like this is the the type of tech that needs to be justified. It just needs to be better.

Lmao you absolutely cannot forget the glasses but I agree
Hmm not sure it solves typing yet

Ok, be honest... do I look cool or ridiculous with Orion on?
A bit goofy but still good 👍
Not ridiculous, but sort of funny. The glasses reminded me of those gag glasses with big eyebrows and attached moustache. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family from Ontario, Canada.
The frame looks a bit...toy, plastic like. On the other hand, I feel somebody like Andre 3000 would wear it and people would find it cool.
Looks like my grandpa glasses back in the 50s
I actually didn't think it looked too bad.
I feel like the applications of this get really cool once you think about how it could help with people's jobs and tasks and things like that.

Hi. I am visually impaired and still looking g for that smart glasses, not necessarily AR that can detect and make seeing things at distance

LETS GO BECCAAAAAAAAAAA UNDERDAWG!!!
It seems like they still haven’t solved the problem of making the UI visible against white/bright backgrounds.
Every wall and many of the surfaces in the demo room were conspicuously grey and empty of clutter.
Use cases from Google's Android XR event:
- live language translation (spoken and written)
- statistics and other viewing angles while watching sporting events
- 3d video recordings
- reviews over restaurants
- text reading and responding by voice

Hey becca how does the eye tracking compares to something like a vision pro?
It felt right on par with AVP. Like with that headset, I forgot all about it within a few minutes, and looking to select felt oddly natural.
I’m excited about the eye tracking. If it’s great in this item then they definitely are putting it in the next quest headset.

How do you use these if you have actual glasses on?
Great Q! prescription lenses? contacts?

It would be cool if you could some day do a video on youtube's AI thumbnails. (I've seen 2 for this video already and will keep an eye out for more!)
Every vlogger video of these glasses has the “make me a smoothie” part with those ingredients. The tech is clearly good/cool but makes me wonder.
Nice tone
Awesome video Becca :) Just to point out that Quest 3 does not have eye-tracking. Quest Pro does. Keep up the good work!
fffff THANK YOU! Here is to hoping they don’t start calling this Orion, Orion 2, then drop a Pro, and then the 3.

Someone will be first to market with the killer pair of AR and the rest will be history. VR will grow more from that but will always be more Niche because there will always be people with motion sickness, not to mention MOST people are not even close to hardcore gamers.
Thank you. But it should not be difficult to extrapolate how these will be in 10-20 years time. If Meta and others will continue the pace of R&D, releasing from time to time a commercially viable model (as they did successfully with Ray Ban). Miniaturization will continue, CPU power will grow, and battery use optimized or even close to revolutionized. Since AI is mostly in the cloud, and connection speeds are now in gigabytes scale, it'll be more of the same, but much faster and responsive, smaller and easier to wear, less intrusive, including some rudimentary brain wave controls, with far higher resolution and visual fidelity - and bingo - we have a complimentary device that'll surpass the value of earbuds as a peripheral but will become as popular. For those of us wearing glasses already, it's a no brainer to wear it on our faces, just as we already do hours everyday, with so much more utility on tap, compared to the one dimensional function of eyesight correction.
Those things are cool but man, they are still huge on your face. The lenses are still too thick in my opinion. Once the technology starts to improve and the lenses can be thinner, then I think they'll have something on their hands that the masses will enjoy. Thanks for shedding some light on this new tech! 🤙🏻
Integration with video calls. So you can have hands free while showing. At the same time live translate
I thought it was a Batman´s Carrie Kelley Robin fan/cosplay video, until I´ve read the title
Looks very promising. However, if it's anywhere as close to $10,000 it's a no go.
Thats why they are not selling Orion to the public. They need to get manufacturing/materials costs down and they plan on selling at the same price points as a high end smart phone.
Best part of this video? Your Notion tell all.
Never using a product made by meta.
Couldn't agree more
If smart glasses would ever become a thing, they would already be a thing by now.
I would describe it as "🤓" It can't do much, it reacts slowly to hand gestures and it just shoves a llm in it remotely from a computer. Even the whole thing about this failure is just about three times longer than the sponsored content.
I prefer the first thumbnail better
screen mirrroring from pc/macs, please. it would be a great monitor for my laptop
Idk it still looks a bit of clumsy and heavy to me though I think it's already impressive
Real life Adblock.
Remote EVF for cameras haha
"First and foremost they look ridiculous... historically" just in case this was a question they still look ridiculous 😂 currently .
😂😂
Experiential marketing is the key to getting it into plz hands.
My only concerned with AR is we seem to build the technology for the sake of building... technology. Then hope that developers will come up with something. For me that's a backward way of thinking of what technology is for. It should be "today I'm doing [X], but it would be life changing if I can to [X] if this tech existed.
The purpose is for companies like meta to capture and monetize more of our attention as well as collect data tbh
@@Tardsmat That is indeed their business model. I just can't buy a Facebook/Meta product that has a camera or microphone. Can't be trusted.
End-user experience stopped being a priority a LONG time ago. Its frustrating. I thought I was doing thing that helped me be connected to more people, but now, I’m anything but that. And what’s worse, I’m still not connected to anyone I care about in the real world either. Having a fkng screen ON MY EYEBALLS is probably something that isn’t going to help improve the quality of my life.
Given the fact that AR can do everything your phone could do a LOT more while keeping from having to pull out your phone for the most BASIC shit you can get done with the glasses on your face. At some point for most people in their lives we all need glasses and just about everyone wears sunglasses from time to time. Its obvious that when you add steroscopic AR/VR capabilities you can now have a workspace, an entertainment space, audio books, AR MMO games like Poke Mon Go / Harry Potter go absolutely NEXT level. Being able to have a Friday like AR assistant like Tony Starks AR glasses is what we are talking about here. Ya'll have very little imagination. It took me five minutes back in 2018 to see where this was all going and a year later I was working as data collections analyst for Facebook's , Facebook Reality Labs. And the more I learned about this tech and where its going, the more OBVIOUS it has become its absolutely going to be as ubiquitous as smart phones; everyone will own a pair.
Hi @@WigganNuG. I appreciate your passion for AR/VR-it’s a sentiment I share. As a product designer and long-time enthusiast (I’ve followed Oculus since Kickstarter and own a Vision Pro and PSVR2), I fully believe AR/VR will transform computing, whether through glasses, contacts, or even implants (as long as they’re safe).
My earlier comment wasn’t about doubting the tech or its direction-it was about the lack of clarity in why it’s being built. Without a clear focus on how AR/VR will benefit people right now, it risks feeling like “tech for tech’s sake,” which shows a lack of priority on the very users it’s meant to help. It reminds me of the early PC days, where we focused on specs instead of usability, or pre-iPhone smartphones that lacked a cohesive vision. AR/VR needs that kind of clarity to truly resonate, and I’m excited for the day it reaches that tipping point.
I wear prescription glasses and won't be getting AR glasses until they get all day battery life.
Can you do a collaboration video series with David from mkbhd
The glasses look quite comical
Dang them glasses are thick
The innovation in this space is moving way too slow. We obviously want AR and HUD technology. Why are people even asking this question at this point? The companies creating the tech though have been very lackluster with what they are providing so far though. Maybe the sophistication is just not here yet, but we need to acting like this is the the type of tech that needs to be justified. It just needs to be better.
Haha actually, the longer we see you with it, the less goofy it gets
