Researchers at Facebook today announced Project Aria , its work on a pair of augmented reality (AR) glasses. Facebook is in the very early stages of the project, not even calling it a prototype and only letting a few personnel use it for R&D purposes.

Project Aria is anticipated to be a critical tool in the development of a future product. The vendor didn't confirm when we could expect to Facebook smart glasses on the market or even when a working sample would be

Nvidia’s RTX 3000 series is finally starting to hit store shelves, with its flagship RTX 3080 card leading the pack when it releases September 17.

A redditor shared info from an Asus marketing re p indicating that top-trim STRIX versions of the RTX 3080 will not be making an appearance for tomorrow's official launch of GeForce RTX 3080 Ampere graphics cards.
