Decision

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Consider Orion for research demonstrations if access is available; defer deployment plans.

Why: It demonstrates useful integrated AR interactions, but remains unavailable to the public, with costly optics, limited runtime and unresolved reliability and outdoor visibility.
Next: Reassess a shipping configuration after independent outdoor, sustained-use and application tests establish performance in your intended setting.

Constraints

No public purchase or general developer access.
Approximately $10,000 reported prototype manufacturing cost and low optical wafer yield.
Around two hours of glasses runtime.
Outdoor display visibility remains unestablished.
Observed freezes, window-orientation glitches and ingredient-recognition errors.
Display resolution, color artifacts and sustained-wear comfort need improvement.
