Meta has published three in-depth blog posts about its upcoming Meta Orion glasses.

It's a refreshing change of pace to see Meta let its engineers be so geekily passionate about their work.

The tech world has always been hyper-fixated on secrecy while despising whistleblowers.

By eking out information about these glasses now instead of waiting until 2027 , it helps inform the public.

Orion's Orion's computing puck explains why it's not using a phone to power its glasses because "demanding performance requirements would drain the phone battery and suck away compute capacity from phone use cases" The post also goes behind the scenes on how they envisioned the puck as a fully functional controller for AR games with 6DoF sensors and haptics.

I want more companies to let their engineers geek out and explain themselves before products reach the final stage.
