Still 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! [^1]: https://www.spectacles.com/

you can't disable it, and it doesn't really matter anyway because nobody seems to notice it. I have videos of all my friends the first time I run into them using the glasses, and none of them realize that I'm recording them unless I stare at them for long enough without moving.
You can't disable it in software . You can put a piece of tape over it, fill it with black nail polish, let the smoke out of the LED, or otherwise keep the light from being visible.

Snap's device doesn't need a separate compute device, and I'm sure it's pretty trivial to make it smaller with such. So I would not judge based on this. And anyway, I'm very glad to see Meta pushing towards AR, this is the good example of a company with bold vision.

Snap's design is really awful looking - to the point I can't see how it doesn't just damage the brand. Plus Snap's core business is a mess I don't see how they could really compete with Meta on this they'll run out of money first. It's cool to see Meta's continued work/focus in this space - a polished internal prototype is probably the right place for this hardware.
> Plus Snap's core business is a mess Snap is worth $20B, Meta is worth $1.5T. No comparison.

Decent hands on article from the verge with more info https://www.theverge.com/24253908/meta-orion-ar-glasses-demo... Wireless compute puck. 70 degree FOV. Resolution high enough to read text. Wrist band detects hand gestures and will be used in another product.
From using various VR systems, a hololens, and reading reviews of the vision pro I really feel like hand gestures are a bad way to interact with AR systems. They might work in a pinch (heh) but some sort of small controller that can act as a pointer and has a button or two is superior in every way. It's interesting that meta went through the effort of bundling an accessory but stuck with hand gestures anyway.
Anyway, Logitech made an awesome little handheld keyboard for home theater PCs, called DiNovo Mini HTPC, I was able to pair it with Vision Pro.

The thickness is only part of the design, and the only justifiable part of it. The actual design is far more reminiscent of a cheap children’s toy than a high-end “revolutionary” piece of tech.
That being said I'm about the furthest thing from a fashion critic - only Kirkland Signature touches this body.
