These glasses, according to sources, are expected to be more advanced than their predecessors, offering enhanced features and capabilities. However, Snap has indicated that they won&#8217;t be available for purchase to the general public. Instead, they will be distributed to select developers and partners to gather feedback and refine the technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.negup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/098f679f-2fb9-41ed-b372-7759d85e75b3.jpeg\" alt=\"AR Glasses\" class=\"wp-image-7578\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.negup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/098f679f-2fb9-41ed-b372-7759d85e75b3.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.negup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/098f679f-2fb9-41ed-b372-7759d85e75b3-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.negup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/098f679f-2fb9-41ed-b372-7759d85e75b3-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.negup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/098f679f-2fb9-41ed-b372-7759d85e75b3-768x768.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meta&#8217;s Orion takes centre stage just a week later, Meta will debut its first AR glasses, codenamed Orion, at its Connect conference.
