**Mark Zuckerberg Unveils Visionary Orion AR Glasses as Future of Computing**

In a recent interview with YouTuber Cleo Abram, Meta Platforms, Inc. CEO Mark Zuckerberg discussed the company's pioneering efforts in augmented reality technology, focusing on their latest innovation, the Orion AR Glasses.

Zuckerberg hailed the Orion AR Glasses as the world's first full holographic augmented reality glasses, a product born from a decade's worth of research and development. These glasses are designed to condense all necessary computing power into a compact form that can project full holograms into the physical world.

During the interview, Zuckerberg expressed his belief that these glasses could represent the next major leap in computing platforms following smartphones. He noted, "The trend in computing is it becomes more ubiquitous, more natural, and more social. You want to interact with people and the environment around you, and I believe this is likely to be the next major platform after phones."

Although currently in prototype development, Zuckerberg expressed optimism that the subsequent iteration of the Orion AR Glasses would be available for consumers, potentially reaching a broad audience. The new prototype was showcased at the Meta Connect 2024 event, leading to a boost in analysts' confidence in Meta's hardware and XR technology roadmap.

Analysts have since re-rated Meta, emphasizing the firm's leading role in the emergence of a new computing platform and suggesting that the Orion AR Glasses could become the primary computing device for consumers in the future. Despite contrasting opinions in past years, Zuckerberg emphasized the importance of maintaining a long-term perspective amid changing market sentiments, remarking, "You're never as good as they say when you're up, and you're never as bad as they say when you're down."
