Snap and Meta are gearing up to showcase their latest advancements in AR technology with new smart glasses. Snap’s fifth-generation Spectacles will be unveiled on September 17th at the Partner Summit in Los Angeles. This release follows the Spectacles 4’s introduction of integrated screens and AR features, hinting at continued innovations in the new model.
Meta is not far behind, with its first AR glasses, codenamed Orion, set for a debut on September 25th at the Connect conference in Menlo Park. Meta, with its extensive AR and VR experience, promises a significant leap forward, although precise details remain under wraps.
Both companies are expected to produce limited units initially, focusing on development and building hype rather than mass commercialization. While true AR glasses for everyday consumers are still a way off, the upcoming reveals mark a promising step toward a future filled with augmented reality.
