Meta and Snap, each is now reported to be showing their new generation of augmented reality glasses, in September 2024. The introduction of smart glasses by these two technology companies is expected to focus on offering the technology first, rather than selling it to the public in the near future.
Meta's latest eyewear development is no longer a secret, and has been talked about several times before. Named as "Orion", these smart glasses are expected to be the first smart glasses under Meta to offer a fully immersive augmented-reality experience. It is also expected to be integrated with Meta AI artificial intelligence support – making it easier for users to ask various questions and receive answers through generative artificial intelligence support.
Apart from Meta, the company behind Snapchat is also expected to introduce their new generation of smart glasses – a week before the introduction by Meta. Snap is expected to continue to introduce new technology integration on their smart glasses, which were already introduced before.
With this development, it is certain that the products of these two parties will steal the attention of many in the arena of smart glasses in September 2024. Together we look forward to further developments, and to see how this technology will continue to advance, and change the way we interact with the digital world.
