'This is a big deal': Meta announces neural AR glasses powered by AI and of course Nvidia's CEO showed up wearing a pair

Mark Zuckerberg has just wrapped up his Meta Connect 2024 keynote, in which he announced new products such as the $300 Quest 3S VR headset. But something that made an unexpected splash at the show is a project called 'Orion'—a pair of holographic AR smart glasses.

Now, AR smart glasses are not something that I'd usually be that into. But recently digging out a pair of Lenovo smart glasses that let me watch TikTok while lying entirely flat in bed has somewhat sold me on the idea. Orion is much more than that, however.
