Reality, better
Nearly a decade in the making, groundbreaking innovations from Meta redefine what is possible for AI, AR and the next generation of computing — introducing Orion.
Orion offers a glimpse into the future of human connection
At Meta, we continually strive to break down the barriers between the digital world and the real world. While not available to the public, the breakthroughs from this internal product are rapidly ushering in the next generation of computing and a paradigm shift in how we communicate with one another.
The culmination of effort from thousands of passionate individuals, countless hours of research and development, and extensive challenges overcome — Orion pushes the limits of what it means to connect to each other and to the world around us.
EXPANDING POSSIBILITIES
Weave AI and AR into everyday life
Innovative experiences for work or play.
REVOLUTIONARY TECH IN A FAMILIAR FORM FACTOR
An AR wearable you’ll actually want to wear
Our mission was clear, yet challenging: to create practical, wide-display AR glasses that people genuinely want to wear. This is one of the most significant breakthroughs in this product — from the start, we leveraged human-centered design principles to craft the most advanced AR glasses in a remarkably slim form factor. By utilizing unique materials like a lightweight magnesium frame, innovative thermal management techniques, and miniaturization of sensors and cameras, we’ve built a device that seamlessly integrates into everyday life while pushing the AR wearables industry forward.

INNOVATION YOU CAN SEE
Behind the lens
Enhanced FOV and optical clarity
Research and development at Meta of optical-grade silicon carbide (SiC) lenses has pushed boundaries of what is possible within the form factor of lightweight AR glasses. Our breakthrough refinement of silicon carbide has enabled an approximately 70 degree field of view, the widest FOV in an AR glasses form factor to date, while enabling an optical stack which minimizes stray light effects such as rainbows.
Advanced input and control
We've combined the best and most natural inputs — voice, eye tracking, hand tracking — and added revolutionary electromyography (EMG) technology in a comfortably worn wristband for subtle, socially acceptable input, enabling use in low light or in public environments without requiring your hands in view of sensors.
Freedom of movement
Designed to deliver unparalleled freedom and flexibility, Orion removes the need for cumbersome wires, allowing for dynamic AR experiences to happen freely wherever you want to go. This device redefines possibilities and sets new standards in the category for innovation and convenience.
