In an interaction with YouTuber Cleo Abram, Meta Platforms, Inc. META CEO Mark Zuckerberg spoke about various subjects including the company’s latest innovation, the Orion AR Glasses.
What Happened: During the interview which was posted on YouTube last week, Zuckerberg described the Orion AR Glasses as the first-ever full holographic augmented reality glasses.
He said that the glasses are a result of a decade of research and development. They aim to miniaturize all the computing needed for glasses to project full holograms into the world.

When asked about the intention behind building such a gadget, the Meta CEO said that he believes that these glasses will be the next major computing platform.
“I think that the trend in computing is it gets more ubiquitous, it gets more natural, and it just gets more social right, so you want to be able to interact with people in the world around you, and I think that this is probably going to be the next major platform after phones,” he stated.
