Wow these look huge, I was expecting it from the comments but it still managed to surpass my expectations. I wonder if they managed to squeeze a battery in it and that's why it's so thick. Assuming it's light enough to not cause pain after some extended use it's a huge step up from the Quest series (and other VR headsets that cover your entire head pretty much!) and a completely different class of product compared to other AR Headsets like the Apple Vision Pro which require an external power brick.

Quest 3 is 515g, Orion is <100g, so pretty good! But 3-4x a normal pair of glasses

It's a compute puck, not a power puck.

It has a battery in it (the puck is compute). It lasts 2 hours at the moment.

While we don't know who is making the components, check out https://www.enovix.com/ for batteries. Samira is from Meta and previously worked on XR... https://ir.enovix.com/management/samira-naraghi
