In an online conference broadcast on Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg took the stage of Goal Connect 2024 to show the holographic glasses Orion, which display images on the screen. The device does not yet have a release date, but Meta emphasizes that “it will allow a true journey into the future” when it is available for purchase. There was also space for the announcement of the Meta Quest 3S and software updates for the Ray-Ban Meta, which will get smarter with the Meta AI update. See all the details below. 1n43
Orion Glasses 452l6o
great highlight of Goal Connect 2024, the device shown at the event is still a prototype of augmented reality (AR) glasses. Development has been going on for 10 years and the big challenge, according to Meta's press release, was to create a device 'without wires and weighing less than 100 grams'.
The idea is for it to be a true personal assistant for a variety of tasks: when making video calls, cooking, playing games and even working. To make this work, there are seven lenses spread throughout the device, in addition to it having a magnesium alloy structure, which Meta explains is lighter and allows for good heat management.
It will be able to reproduce screens within the 's 70-degree field of view, all in 3D and through Micro LED projectors inside the frame that project graphics in front of your eyes through waveguides in the lenses. The speakers and battery are located at the ends of the device's temples, similar to what we saw in the Ray-Ban Meta.
Meta opted not to use glass to display the holograms. Instead, the lenses of the Orion Holo Glasses are made of silicon carbide. This material is better for seeing the elements displayed on the screen without the having to have their vision completely blocked.
Silicon carbide is incredibly lightweight, produces no optical artifacts or stray light, and has a high refractive index—all essential optical properties for a large field of view. The waveguides themselves have really intricate and complex 3D nanoscale structures to diffract, or scatter, light into the shapes needed to achieve that field of view. And the projectors are μLEDs—a new type of display technology that’s super small and extremely energy efficient.

Meta's intention is also to allow s to see other people's avatars in video calls, without having to be in virtual reality or have their vision completely blocked. So, the solution was to opt for holograms that overlap the real world in a very natural way. Check out the example:
Augmented reality games will also be available on the device. However, this new device is not expected to have the Meta Horizon OS as its operating system, as Meta emphasizes that it was created from scratch and with an interface. We can only wait for more information. Check out this example:
When two people are wearing the Orion glasses, it will also be possible to play ping pong, using their hands as rackets. Journalists who have used the prototype say that the device looks like a computer on your face. Check out this example of a ping pong match:
It will also be possible to open multiple apps at the same time to view multiple screens. s will be able to participate in a video call while having two other apps open at the same time. Check it out:
With the of the cameras, s will be able to ask Meta AI to create a recipe from scratch with the ingredients shown. They will just have to wait a few seconds for the identification to be made and the recipe will be suggested, already informing the total time needed to be prepared. Check out the example:
A cinema mode for enjoying streaming video content is also expected to be available on the device. The idea is that s will be able to watch movies and series in the same room as other people. See the Cinema function in practice:
With Orion, we are one important step closer to realizing the promise of the next great wave of human-centered computing and a deep sense of presence with others, no matter where in the world they are.

Means of interaction 726z1s
To interact with the , it will recognize voice, hand movements, eye movements and even use a bracelet with a “neural interface” to interpret signals from the ’s brain. The device will be launched with an EMG bracelet, an acronym for electromyography, which tracks finger movements, for example, through electrical activation of the muscles. See the bracelet:
This means you can swipe, click and scroll while keeping your arm comfortably at your side, allowing you to remain present in the world and with the people around you as you interact with rich digital content.
This same bracelet has a “neural interface” that will be able to interpret the signals from your brain so that you don’t have to speak or make a sudden gesture when you have the bracelet on. Orion Holo Glasses.
With the of Meta AI, which also received updates during the Goal Connect 2024, the glasses will be able to recognize voice commands. The cameras on the front of the device will also be able to track hands. Eye movements can also be used as a basis for better visualization of 3D holograms in everyday life.
By pinching your fingers, you can take a photo during a morning walk and then view it on your phone. And over time, artificial intelligence will learn from the so that even better usage can be delivered.
The system adapts to you, so it gets better and more capable of recognizing even the most subtle gestures over time. And today, we’re sharing more about our for external research focused on expanding the equity and accessibility potential of EMG wristbands.
Goal about your new Orion Holo Glasses
In addition to the wristband, Meta will sell the glasses with a wireless computing disk for the Orion, which also functions as a control center. It will be necessary to keep this computing disk within 3 meters to use all the features of the Orion glasses. See the photo of the device below:
Price and availability 1s705x
Meta is still developing the Orion holographic glasses, so a possible release date or price has not been announced. In addition to improving the features, the company still needs to work with partners to make them even lighter and more comfortable. Despite this, a development kit for creating applications will be available soon.
In this first phase, a small number of Meta employees, as well as technology market experts, will be using the device to provide . A new event will be held just for the launch of this device, so more details should be presented soon.
It is worth ing that the Orion holographic glasses will be part of a more category, but they are expected to cost less than the apple vision pro, which had an initial suggested price of US$ 3.499 (R $ 19.157,37 in direct conversion).
Explaining Orion 3v2i2j
Meta has released a video explaining every detail of its new AR glasses prototype, which also showcases the work it has done over the past ten years. Watch it below:
Meta Quest 3S 305c2t
Aimed at beginners in the world of augmented (AR) and virtual (VR) reality, the Meta Quest 3S was announced at the beginning of Meta Connect 2024. Mark Zuckerberg announced that the device had its system Meta Horizon OS completely redesigned for a better experience, so you can view programs, play games, access multitasking features and much more.
The same processor Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2present inQuest 3 of 2023, can be seen in this model. Another similarity with the more expensive model is that the Touch Plus controllers are also present here. It will be possible to take advantage of applications such as Prime Video, Twitch, YouTube and Xbox Cloud Gaming (beta), as soon as you take the device out of the box.
“The Quest 3S is better and $200 cheaper than the quest 3 previously released”, Zuckerberg said. Both also Dolby Atmos technology, which allows sound to be sent from different directions for greater immersion.
Now, let's look at the differences between the Quest 3 and the Quest 3S:
- The Quest 3S features an “Action Button” to switch between immersive viewing and through modes, while the Quest 3 has a “Double Tap” function;
- The Quest 3S now has Fresnel Lenses, as opposed to the Pancake Lenses used in the original Quest 3, which are more expensive overall;
- The Quest 3S's battery lasts approximately two and a half hours, while the Quest 3's lasts approximately 2,2 hours;
- The Quest 3S is slightly larger than the Quest 3;
- The Quest 3S's front sensors are arranged in two triangular formations, while the Quest 3 has three pill-shaped cutouts;
- The Quest 3S does not have a depth sensor, unlike the Quest 3;
- The Quest 3S uses displays with a lower resolution than the Quest 3, and its field of view is “slightly narrower.”
Making good use of the platform Horizon Worlds, a Meta will allow, through an unprecedented partnership with Google, two people using Quest glasses to watch the same YouTube video together, without delays or resolution problems.
It will also be possible to view up to three screens as browser tabs at the same time, ideal for those who like to see different information at the same time. This way:
Another partnership announced was with Microsoft: whoever has one of the quest 3 ou Quest 3S and a computer or notebook running Windows 11 will be able to see what is on your machine's screen and open up to three screens at the same time, with everything being synchronized and saved for when you stop using the device.
Rounding out the new features, both Quest 3 and Quest 3S now have a feature called Hyperscape. Using Gaussian Splatting, a 3D volume rendering technique, it will be possible to take a photo of a physical space and see it in the metaverse, directly on AR and VR headsets. Check out this example:
At this first moment, the new Quest 3S can be ordered from today (September 25) in the US, for US$ 299 (R$ 1.641 in direct conversion) in the 128 GB version or for US$ 399,99 (R$ 2.188 in direct conversion) in the 256 GB version. Shipping begins on October 15, 2024 and all buyers of the Quest 3S will win a copy of Batman: Arkham Shadow, which is scheduled for release on October 22.
During the announcement on Meta Connect 2024, the company reported that it will suspend sales of Quest 2 and Quest Pro until the end of this year or while stocks last.

Ray-Ban Meta Updates 553o7
Rounding out the news, the famous Ray-Ban Meta glasses, ideal for content creation, have gained more free features via software. Firstly, those who have the glasses will be able to control apps from the Amazon Music, Spotify and Audible, just with voice commands.
Another novelty is in continuity. In practice, when you ask a question, you can continue with subsequent questions, as the AI will bring answers within the same context. The company also highlighted that, at some points, it will no longer be necessary to give the command “Hey Meta” whenever you start a voice command.
A photographic memory feature is coming to the Ray-Ban Meta, and soon, the device will help you things like where you parked your car or your grocery list. The cameras can also read QR codes or phone numbers in real time and send them to the smartphone connected to the Ray-Ban Meta.
Those who need help choosing clothes for a special event can also ask for help from Meta AI: through the glasses' cameras, the personal assistant will suggest what you can wear and also indicate accessories that match the item of clothing, following the initial command given by the .
The most interesting new feature was left for the end of the event: named Live Translation, it will be possible for two people who speak different languages and each have a Ray-Ban Meta to have a chat with the translation being done in real time. Check out the presentation of the feature:
For now, Live Translation will be available for English and Spanish, but Mark Zuckeberg confirmed that for more languages “is on the way.”
During the event, the company launched a limited edition, fully transparent model that will be sold for a limited time for US$429 (R$2.300 in direct conversion). See a photo of it below:
The company announced that it has ed the Be My Eyes, a free app aimed at people with visual impairments. Through the command “Hey Meta, Call a Volunteer on Be My Eyes” s will be connected to a sighted volunteer, who speaks the ’s language, through a one-way video call and two-way audio.
Through this integration, the volunteer will see through the lenses of the smart glasses to provide a real-time description to the wearer through their open-ear speakers for everyday tasks like adjusting a thermostat, finding the right aisle at the grocery store, or preparing meals — all while keeping the wearer’s hands free.
Updates for Meta's smart glasses will be released "by the end of this year," with no specific date given at the time of writing.
It is worth ing that Ray-Ban Meta It is not officially sold in Brazil, but internationally it can be purchased from US$ 299 (R$ 1.637 in direct conversion) at Meta's official website.
