The dream of true consumer AR glasses — devices that look like everyday eyewear yet deliver a rich holographic overlay on the real world — has arrived with Meta's Orion.

After years of development and a $10 billion investment in Reality Labs, Meta has produced something genuinely impressive. The Orion frames weigh just 98 grams and are available in four prescription strengths, making them viable for users who normally wear corrective lenses.
