Meta's Orion Smart Glasses: Blending AI and AR for a Revolutionary Future

According to the article, Meta (formerly Facebook) currently dominates the smart glasses market, with its Ray-Ban smart glasses accounting for over 60% of total shipments in 2024. However, the company is not resting on its laurels and is working on a revolutionary new product called Orion.

Orion, set to launch in the next few years, will blend artificial intelligence and augmented reality (AR) to overlay the physical world with holographic screens. This will allow wearers to browse the internet, stream media, and communicate face-to-face, all while being able to query Meta's AI assistant for information on their surroundings.

The article also highlights Amazon's use of AI to transform its retail operations. The company is building about a thousand generative AI applications to reduce shipping and fulfillment costs, which currently consume 36% of its retail revenue. Amazon is also leveraging over 1 million industrial robots in its warehouses and developing an AI framework to enable human workers to interact with these robots using natural language.
