➀ The Ray-Ban Meta glasses offer a sleek design resembling traditional eyewear.

➁ They come with advanced Meta AI features and hands-free controls for convenience.

➂ The glasses offer a unique blend of functionality and style, though with a premium price tag.

➀ Meta has unveiled its first pair of 'true' augmented reality glasses, named Orion, which is currently a prototype but may be available to consumers in the future.

➁ Orion's hardware includes glasses, a wristband for gesture control, and a wireless puck for computing, with the glasses being the centerpiece of the technology.

➂ The glasses use custom chips, magnesium frames, and microLED projectors, with the lenses made of silicon carbide (SiC) for better image quality.

➃ The high cost of SiC lenses and specialized manufacturing processes contribute to the glasses' $10,000 price tag.

➄ Meta is working on making the technology more affordable by exploring alternative materials and manufacturing processes.

➅ Privacy concerns and social dynamics are also raised as potential challenges for AR glasses.
