Meta is still pushing the metaverse and the Quest headset.
But some tech analysts contend people are most interested in truly wearable tech, like Orion.
Quest is limiting because of its bulk — and Orion AR glasses are an improvement, the analysts said.

Meta's Orion AR glasses were the true winners of Wednesday's Meta Connect event, where CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled what the future could hold for truly wearable — not clunky — tech.
