#12I know it's a prototype, but yikes those are large and goofy looking.
Reminds me of the old 80's NHS glasses in the UK (which you could get for free if you couldn't afford otherwise).
Or for those of you old enough, Brains from the old Supermarionation versions of the Thunderbird show (https://i2-prod.walesonline.co.uk/incoming/article8451975.ec...)

#13"the look and feel of a regular pair of glasses" is... one way to describe it. They look totally goofy. But the tech seems amazing, assuming those videos actually reflect reality (which is hard to say, since this is not a real product, just a prototype announcement).
"the look and feel of a regular pair of glasses... as depicted on any cartoon caricature of a nerd". It's really impressive if they fit that much into the frame, but they're thick.

#15Note that the first image in the article is taken as far away from the glasses as possible, to the extent where you can barely see them
Re: Orion, our first true augmented reality glasses
#16> Orion has the largest field of view in the smallest AR glasses form to date. Did they say what it is, specifically?
the verge's article says 70 degrees

I genuinely don't think it's possible to do worse than the digital-eye passthrough on Vision Pro. Nothing will ever be a funnier waste of money than that feature, especially in hardware that consumers were expected to want to buy.

#18Still kinda dorky looking but 10x better than what Snap unveiled last week.[^1] Software looks miles ahead of the AR glasses competition as well. Nice job FB engineers...keep cooking!

#19Why would you want to wear these? I don't care about the way it looks, but why would you want actaully AR glasses?
