Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s personal fortune has climbed to $201 billion. As he envisions AR glasses Orion to be the future of computing, will they benefit the public?

With so much going on in AI, investors seem to be looking past its Metaverse segment. That may seem odd, as the company once known as Facebook changed its name to Meta in 2021. With the company's Reality Labs segment continuing to lose billions of dollars every quarter, investors may have written off the effort.

Augmented reality is changing very fast, with giants like Apple and Meta blazing the trail. Meanwhile, Apple Vision Pro and Meta Orion AR glasses are being tout

Perhaps the most interesting feature of the Orion glasses are the lenses, which are not made from glass or plastic. Instead, Meta is using a silicon carbide where tiny projections are beamed onto the lenses. This material is supposed to be more durable, lighter and features an ultrahigh index for refraction of the on-board projectors.

If Apple introduces AR glasses, it has the potential to, once again, emerge as a key influencer that propels it into widespread adoption in the future.
