It follows Meta’s recent announcement of Orion, its true AR glasses prototype and the result of breakthrough inventions in virtually every field of modern computing. Orion combines the look and feel of a regular pair of glasses with the immersive capabilities of AR due to its industry-leading 70-degree field of view, silicon carbide high-performance waveguides, custom silicon, microLED projectors, integrated input system, and more.
As part of its long-term commercial agreement, Plessey is continuing to work with Meta by dedicating its manufacturing operations to support the development of prototypes and new technologies for potential use in the XR category.
“Our work with Plessey has pushed the boundaries of what’s previously been possible,” says Meta’s Jason Hartlove.
”Our combined expertise and resources have enabled us to achieve something truly remarkable,” says Plessey CEO Keith Strickland, “the collaboration between Meta and Plessey has delivered a major breakthrough in the development of AR technology, and we are excited to see the impact that this innovation will have on the industry. With the world’s brightest red microLED display, we are one major step closer to making AR glasses a mainstream reality.”
