Title: Orion Tech Delays Launch of Its New SmartGlasses
Orion Tech announced yesterday that the release of its long-awaited SmartGlasses X3 would be delayed by two months. The company cited a shortage of advanced display components as the primary reason for the delay.
“We want to ensure the product meets the highest quality standards,” said CEO Martin Lowe. “Our customers expect excellence, and we won’t compromise.”
The new expected release date is December 10, instead of the previously planned October 5.

I’ve been waiting for the SmartGlasses X3 for months! 😭
It’s disappointing to hear about the delay, but I appreciate that Orion Tech is focusing on quality.

Same here! But if NextView releases its “HoloLens Air” on November 1 as planned, I might get that one instead.
