Meta unveils ‘Orion’ augmented reality glasses
The Orion demonstration was impressive, not only for the technical capability of the glasses, but also because they actually looked kind of cool — or at least one can plausibly imagine wearing them and not feeling embarrassed.
Plus, wearables make it easier for people with limited abilities to use technology and can monitor and improve our health and well-being. This should give us pause. Do we really want Facebook and other tech giants creating the standards and the technology interface for how we access the next era of the web?
Call it the “Open Metaverse,” driven by the principles of Web3, where decentralized ownership and digital rights take center stage., says that the corporate metaverse imagined by Facebook and other Web2 giants is more akin to a theme park than a true online economy or new shared reality for humanity. “Disneyland is fun… but you don’t have ownership in this. There’s no stake in it. Therefore, it’s meaningless, except for those who own it.
VR and AR may allow us to experience the metaverse, but they alone are not sufficient to bring it into being.
