메타 오리온 AR 글래스: 기능 및 향후 전망

### 메타의 오리온 살펴보기: AR 안경의 미래
* 🕶 저는 기존 VR 헤드셋과 Meta Ray-Bans와 같은 스마트 글래스 사이의 간극을 메우기 위한 **완전 독립형 AR 글래스인 Meta의 Orion**을 사용해 볼 기회가 있었습니다.
* 🔍 스냅의 안경과 달리 오리온은 **70도의 시야각**을 자랑하며, 사물이 눈에 띄는 단절 없이 내 시야에 매끄럽게 통합되는 몰입감 있는 경험을 제공합니다.
* 🤖 이 안경에는 **시선 추적, 손 추적, 음성 명령, 제스처에 대한 근육 자극**을 감지하는 **신경 입력 EMG 손목 밴드** 등 고급 인터랙션 방법이 포함되어 있습니다.
* 🔋 안경은 **약 2~3시간의 배터리 수명**을 제공하지만, 함께 제공되는 무선 처리 퍽에는 **두 개의 Qualcomm 프로세서와 하루 종일 지속되는 배터리**가 탑재되어 있습니다.
* 🎮 머리를 움직여 우주선을 조종하고 다른 사용자와 함께 **복고풍 아케이드 스타일의 퐁 게임**을 즐기는 등 게임과 소셜 상호작용의 잠재력을 보여주는 인터랙티브한 경험을 즐겼습니다.
* 🛠 이러한 혁신에도 불구하고 오리온은 **고급 스마트폰과 비슷한 가격대**를 목표로 해상도 향상과 슬림한 디자인을 계획하고 있으며, 아직 개발 중입니다.
* 📈 Meta는 또한 향후 제품에 **EMG 손목 밴드를 통합**하고 식재료에 기반한 레시피 제안과 같은 실제 애플리케이션을 위해 **안경 내 AI 기능을 강화**하는 방안을 모색하고 있습니다.
* 👓 현재는 처방 지원이 부족하지만, 이 안경은 **AR 기술의 미래**를 엿볼 수 있어 이러한 발전이 어떻게 진화하고 일상 생활에 통합될지 기대가 됩니다.

메타의 오리온 글래스는 고급 제스처 제어와 넓은 시야각으로 획기적인 AR 경험을 선사합니다.

Tony Stark-style airG glasses with an EMG neural wristband sensor. Yeah, I was wearing Meta Orion. I'll tell you about it. So, somewhere between the VR headsets that we've got now and these smart glasses like Meta Ray-Bans, we keep thinking about this future of AR glasses, and I got to look at Meta's moonshot of an idea that it's been working on for a while, Orion, which are fully self-contained AR glasses. There are other companies pursuing this, not a ton that actually have physical products. I looked at Snap's Spectacles, which are self-contained, but Orion goes for a higher standard, especially in terms of the field of view. Orion's got a magnesium frame, and the glasses look closer to everyday glasses, but the goal is to get even closer still. I mean, they look super thick, they look artsy, but they don't look as large as Snap's. Not to compare, but Orion's glasses also have a 70-degree field of view. Now, if you're a person who's not following the AR/VR side, that

may not mean anything to you. VR headsets have a larger field of view than that. But what it meant when I looked at things was that it was like this, and it meant that objects did not feel like they were leaving my field of view. A lot of things like Magic Leap, Snap's glasses, and others usually have a cut-off, and this cut-off felt nearly invisible. I got to interact with things on the glasses with eye tracking, with hand tracking, with my voice, and also with a neural input EMG sensor on my wrist. Meta has been exploring this technology for years, but we haven't seen products that have adopted it. It's a wristband that has built-in electronics into the fabric and has sensors that stayed pretty snug to my wrist, and it could sense electrical impulses in my muscles that converted into motions. Now, if you're used to gesture tracking on maybe even your watch or headsets, this is a little more advanced than that. You can do taps, you can also do little thumb swipes. I got to see Mark Zuckerberg a few years ago.

demoing this tech at Meta's Reality Lab's research. Now I'm getting to wear it, and the band is smaller, and everything in this package is wireless. So, the band's wireless, there's also a processing puck, so it's not totally in the glasses, but that's also wireless with two Qualcomm processors inside and a battery that Meta claims will last all day along with the wristband. But the glasses will last about 2 to 3 hours. That's pretty similar to what VR headsets right now can do. So, when I was able to do those gestures, I felt like I was flipping around through Instagram videos. Well, I was flipping around through Instagram videos, liking them with little taps, looking around to open up chats with people, chatting with somebody's codec avatar, which again is how Meta is going to explore, much like Apple's personas, a 3D realistic version of you that will appear when you connect on phones or VR headsets or whatever. It looked good, and I got to play a few

games. I got to play this game where I was piloting this little Starship around using my head motions, using eyes to look at different meteors and explode them with my fingers. And we played a two-person pong where I looked at a QR code on the table to center it and then spread up this super cool retro arcade thing where I was using my hands to play Pong across the room with one of Orion's creators. So, that was pretty fun. Did I see that there were rough points? Sure, because this product is not actually meant for anyone in the real world yet. This is something that's being used internally. Met is working to update the resolution on the micro OLED displays to something even higher because that field of view can power a lot of pixels. There's also going to be work in making the glasses slimmer and more affordable. The goal is supposed to be something in the range of a laptop or a high-end smartphone, so that's a lot more maybe than the VR headset you have but less than something

like an Apple Vision Pro or another high-end industrial mixed reality headset, something like HoloLens. In the meantime, you might see a lot of this tech start emerging in other places. Meta has plans to work on that EMG wristband in other future products. Maybe you'll find it built into other wrist-worn and wearable mixed reality headsets. They are exploring ways to blend the real world and the virtual, and glasses like Meta Ray-Bans are looking at AI and multimodal AI, which uses the camera to see the world and give you feedback. The glasses and the demos I saw also used multimodal AI quite a bit. I was able to look at a bunch of ingredients and ask, What's a recipe for that? and it popped up some suggestions next to it and identified what the ingredients were. However, by the time Orion becomes a product that actually goes on sale in years to come, the apps and the experiences might evolve even more, and peripherals that I could do more. I mean, I'm starting to do more work in a VR.

headset at home, and you know, years before, I didn't think I would be doing that. Funnily enough, though, you know, one thing you have to think about is prescriptions and glasses wearers. Eventually, these will have prescription support for the moment. I had to demo it without my glasses, but luckily, I got to wear a pair of contacts that were apparently Mark Zuckerberg's. So, um, that was a convenient thing. So, I got to look at it at very near my prescription. Um, I guess that's Mark's prescription. And I got to see a lot of the glasses things and pretty crisply, and the experience was generally good and sometimes a work in progress. And it made me think of the Ray-Bans. It made me think of Meta's headsets. It made me think of where else AI could develop. And it made me wonder who else is going to be working on this and how soon and when can we start playing with this in our own everyday world. Questions that we won't know for a while, but we

got a peek at where the future is heading, and I want to try more. Thank you for watching.

메타의 오리온 안경은 70도 시야각으로 더 높은 기준을 지향하는 완전 독립형 AR 안경입니다.

이 안경은 마그네슘 프레임으로 되어 있으며 일상적인 안경에 더 가깝게 디자인되었습니다.

또한 오리온은 고급 제스처 추적 및 모션 제어를 위해 신경 입력 EMG 손목 밴드 센서를 통합했습니다.

메타의 새로운 무선 안경: 살짝 엿보기

메타의 새로운 무선 안경은 더 작은 밴드, 무선 처리 퍽, 안경은 2~3시간, 손목 밴드는 하루 종일 사용할 수 있는 배터리 수명을 특징으로 합니다.

사용자는 이 안경을 통해 머리 움직임과 손동작을 사용하여 Instagram과 상호 작용하고, 아바타와 채팅하고, 게임을 즐길 수 있습니다.

Meta는 향후 출시를 위해 안경의 해상도, 슬림함, 경제성을 개선하기 위해 노력하고 있습니다.

Apple Vision Pro 및 HoloLens와 같은 고급 혼합 현실 헤드셋이 등장하고 있으며, Meta는 손목 밴드와 웨어러블 기기에서 유사한 기술을 연구하고 있습니다.

Meta의 Ray-Ban 안경은 멀티모달 AI를 사용하여 사용자 환경에 따라 실시간 피드백과 제안을 제공합니다.

이러한 기술의 발전은 안경 착용자를 위한 처방 지원과 일상 생활에서의 AI 통합으로 이어질 수 있으며, 혼합 현실 경험의 미래 발전과 접근성에 대한 의문을 제기합니다.

발표자는 미래 트렌드에 대한 통찰력을 얻었고 더 많은 것을 탐구하고 싶어합니다.

청중에게 시청에 대한 감사의 마음을 전합니다.
