Smart glasses collaboration takes a leap forward: Meta and Oakley debut six innovative pairs of smart eyewear
New Oakley Meta HSTN Smart Glasses Offer Advanced Features for Active Lifestyles
Oakley and Meta have unveiled their latest collaboration, the non-limited edition Oakley Meta HSTN smart glasses. These innovative devices are packed with advanced AI capabilities, making them an ideal choice for those seeking a tech-savvy and sporty accessory.
The Oakley Meta HSTN smart glasses feature a first-person camera, open-ear speakers, and Oakley's PRIZM lenses. PRIZM lenses, available in various tinted options, are particularly beneficial for sports like hiking and golf due to the contrast they create.
One of the standout features of the Oakley Meta HSTN smart glasses is the integrated Meta AI assistant. This AI offers voice commands, real-time translation between supported languages (English, Spanish, French, Italian), and a "Live AI" mode that allows users to query objects or scenes simply by looking at them.
The smart glasses also excel in multimedia capabilities. They boast better image stabilization for videos, making them suitable for active use such as sports and outdoor activities. The 3K camera is optimized to keep videos stable even in bumpy conditions, freeing the user’s hands and enhancing content creation convenience.
Equipped with open-ear speakers, these glasses allow hands-free calls and audio playback without sacrificing ambient awareness. This feature is particularly useful for soundtracking activities while keeping one present.
Oakley Meta glasses have a significant advantage with battery life, lasting about 7-8 hours on a single charge, compared to around 3-4 hours for Ray-Ban Meta models. This extended battery life makes them ideal for all-day wear without frequent recharging.
The Oakley Meta HSTN smart glasses are available for preorder and will be released on August 26. Pairs with black frames and clear to amethyst transition lenses or clear frames with clear to gray transition lenses cost $479 / £479 / AU$719. Pairs with PRIZM black polarized lenses or PRIZM deep Water polarized lenses cost $449 / £449 / AU$699.
While Meta's next smart glasses might have a more sensible launch price compared to Oakley's HSTN smart glasses, the Ray-Ban smart glasses are a more affordable option for those who don't need sporty glasses or upgraded specs like Oakley's HSTN smart glasses. The Ray-Ban smart glasses start at $299 / £299 / AU$449.
In summary, the non-limited edition Meta and Oakley smart glasses combine AI-powered interactivity, hands-free multimedia capabilities, and durable battery life tailored for active lifestyles and real-time contextual assistance. The Oakley Meta smart glasses stand out for their longer battery life and better video stabilization, making them a compelling choice for those seeking a high-performance smart glass solution.
