In 2024, Meta might demonstrate a prototype of AR glasses that are believed to be extremely costly. - UploadVR

Meta's CTO, Andrew Bosworth, hinted at the possibility of demonstrating a highly advanced true AR glasses prototype in 2024. The company has been working on AR glasses for eight years and has invested billions of dollars. Last year, it was reported that Meta would not release its first AR glasses, codenamed Orion, as a consumer product but would instead distribute them to select developers in 2024 as a demonstration of the future of AR. Bosworth confirmed that a small number of Meta employees will begin internal testing of the glasses next year, with a potential opportunity for the public to try them in 2024. However, he also stated that the device is prohibitively expensive and cannot be mass-produced as a consumer product in the near future. This aligns with previous reports that the glasses use expensive microLED displays and silicon carbide waveguides. In order to make the glasses more affordable, Meta may use downgraded components such as LCoS displays and glass waveguides. For the full story, users should visit the source at UploadVR.
