Meta debuts augmented reality glasses and Judi Dench-voiced AI chatbot

The Guardian 

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg presented new augmented reality glasses at the company's annual developer conference on Wednesday, debuting a prototype of the next phase in its expansion into smart eyewear. Zuckerberg also announced that Meta AI will be able to talk in the voice of Dame Judi Dench. The glasses, named Orion, have the ability to project digital representations of media, people, games and communications onto the real world. Meta and Zuckerberg have framed the product as a step away from desktop computers and smartphone into eyewear that can perform similar tasks. "A lot of people have said this is the craziest technology they've ever seen," Zuckerberg boasted during his keynote speech, clad in a shirt that read "Aut Zuck aut nihil", Latin for "Either Zuck or nothing", substituting his own name into a motto coined by the Roman emperor Caesar.
