Who knew AR glasses could turn into a hardware labyrinth? Meta’s Orion ditched the monolithic SoC for a swarm of 11 microcontrollers, tackled thermal hotspots with silicon-carbide waveguides, and even whipped up a custom OS to decode EMG signals and lock the world in at a buttery 90Hz.
On top of that, they fused eye-, hand-, and voice-tracking, waded through a decade of trade-off drama, and squared off over C++ vs. Rust on bare metal. The result? A masterclass in extreme hardware-software co-design and engineering leadership.
