Mark Zuckerberg unveiled Meta’s new holographic smart glasses and a chatbot that uses the voice of Dame Judi Dench as he set out his vision for augmented reality technology.
The Facebook founder donned a pair of black-rimmed smart glasses, named Orion, at the tech giant’s annual Connect conference on Wednesday, declaring “this is the physical world with holograms overlaid on it”.
Made of magnesium alloy and powered by custom silicon designed by Meta, users will be able to interact with the glasses by using their hands and voice.
The glasses, which have no wires and weigh less than 100g, are able to live-translate words spoken in other languages, while users can also dub their videos into another language so it appears they are speaking natively.
