Facebook parent company Meta has announced its augmented reality smart glasses.

The Orion smart glasses can make calls, take photos, play videos and games.

The idea is that it’s a smartphone strapped to your face, giving you the power of the modern mobile internet without reaching into your pocket for your smartphone.

Zuckerberg hinted that perhaps he knows that his new glasses are bizarre, telling Heath that future models of Orion could be half as thick as they are now.

Orion glasses are too expensive to make because the lenses for the current prototypes are made with pricy silicon carbide.

The wearable tech market appears to be a collection of final-form surveillance devices.
