Meta unveils new Orion smart glasses

Published

on

More than any other company, Meta is dedicated to turning AR glasses into a thing. Over the years, the company has worked on wearables for your face. Today, Meta is back with a new pair of augmented reality glasses called Orion.

A world apart from Facebook’s glasses built in partnership with Ray-Ban, the new Orion combines the worlds of a lifestyle product and a technological marvel. More specifically, you might not see these glasses out in public just yet, even if Meta already offers them. The company is reserving them for employees and a few users for now.

The reason why is a more dedicated focus on delivering quality hardware on a lithe device. Meta says that the Orion has shrunk a number of components down to a fraction of a millimeter. It might look chunky, but it’s packing a lot of power.

Further, the new glasses will feature Meta AI. The wearable can reportedly analyze the context of whatever is in front of the user. For example, it can suggest recipes depending on the ingredients that it sees in an open fridge.

Based solely on what it promises, it looks like an evolution of what the Apple Vision Pro offers. Though Apple is positioning the Vision Pro as the next big thing after the iPhone, the device still has a bunch of heft.

on

Gamers are set to get another immersive headphones from Sony with the launch of the INZONE H6 Air.

This latest offering features an open-back acoustic structure and custom drivers for deep and tight bass, thanks to back ducts integrated into the drivers.

The open-back structure also helps with a realistic immersive sound field, making gamers feel they are in the game space.

The Sony INZONE H6 Air also features precision-tuned driver units engineered with the same technology as Sony’s renowned MDR-MV1 open-back studio monitor headsets. It is specially adapted for this particular wearable.

Back ducts integrated into the driver unit help deliver deep and controlled bass reproduction, while maintaining clear separation of mids and lows. This detail is helpful especially for titles where rich sound detail matters.

Crafted with premium aluminum, the INZONE H6 Air is also one of Sony’s lightest gaming headsets at just 199 grams. The headset uses the same spring hinge headband design seen on the INZONE H9 II.

Furthermore, the headset features an “RPG/Adventure” equalizer profile as it is developed with sound engineers from PlayStation Studios.

This specific profile is optimized for RPG and adventure titles, recreating the acoustic experience of a sound studio and delivering an immersive listening experience.

An additional cardioid boom mic focuses on voice angled towards the user’s mouth, eliminating unnecessary side noise.

Fnatic Edition devices, INZONE Buds Glass Purple

In addition to the Sony INZONE H6 Air, Sony has launched the Fnatic Editions of the INZONE Mouse-A, INZONE Mat-F, and INZONE Mat-D.

This next step in the collaboration between Sony and Fnatic makes the professional esports club even more present in fans’ daily gaming experience.

Rounding out the new releases is the INZONE Buds in Glass Purple colorway. This joins the previous black and white options, giving owners plenty of choices to suit their styles.
