    Meta has introduced its latest generation of smart glasses, developed in collaboration with Oakley. The new Oakley Meta HSTN smart glasses combine sportswear-inspired design with advanced AI capabilities and powerful hardware upgrades, targeting users who lead active, on-the-go lifestyles.

    Highlights

    • 3K Video + AI Control: Features a 3K front-facing camera, open-ear audio, and built-in Meta AI assistant for hands-free commands like translations, photos, and video capture.
    • Enhanced Battery Life: Offers up to 8 hours of active use, 48 additional hours with the case, and fast-charging (50% in 20 minutes).
    • Design & Durability: Built with Oakley’s O Matter™ material—25% lighter and twice as strong as traditional frames; IPX4 splash-resistant.
    • Visual Options: Available in six lens/frame combos, including Prizm™ lenses for color/contrast enhancement; all options support prescription lenses.
    • Two Price Tiers: Standard models start at $399; limited-edition gold-accented variant priced at $499 with preorders from July 11.
    • Active Lifestyle Focus: Positioned for athletes, creators, and outdoor enthusiasts, with marketing led by stars like Kylian Mbappé and Patrick Mahomes.
    • Global Expansion: Initial launch in US, UK, Europe, Canada, and Australia; rollout to India, UAE, and Mexico planned by end of year.

    This launch follows the success of Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses and marks a continuation of its broader push into wearable tech.

    A Smart Blend of Design and Utility

    Built on Oakley’s HSTN (pronounced “Houston”) frame, the glasses integrate:

    • A front-facing camera capable of recording 3K ultra-high-definition video
    • Open-ear speakers for discreet audio playback
    • Microphones for hands-free voice calls and voice-command interaction

    The onboard Meta AI assistant supports hands-free control, responding to prompts such as “Hey Meta, take a video” or “Translate this sign,” allowing users to engage naturally with their environment.

    Improved Battery Performance

    One of the major upgrades is the significantly improved battery performance:

    • Up to 8 hours of continuous use
    • 19 hours on standby
    • A portable charging case that adds 48 hours of additional power
    • 50% charge in just 20 minutes

    Frame Variants and Visual Enhancements

    The glasses will be available in six frame and lens combinations, including:

    • Warm grey with ruby lenses
    • Brown smoke with polar deep water lenses

    Some variants feature Oakley’s Prizm Lens technology, designed to enhance color accuracy and contrast—especially beneficial in dynamic lighting conditions. All versions are also prescription-lens compatible.

    Performance-Focused Build

    The Oakley Meta HSTN is constructed from Oakley’s proprietary O Matter™ material, offering a performance-grade build that is:

    • 25% lighter and twice as strong as standard frame materials
    • Rated IPX4 splash-resistant, making it suitable for exercise and light rain

    Meta is promoting the device through its global “Performance AI” campaign, which features sports figures like Kylian Mbappé and Patrick Mahomes, emphasizing the glasses’ appeal to both athletes and tech-savvy users.

    Global Rollout and Availability

    The glasses will come in two pricing tiers:

    • The special-edition model with gold accents will retail for $499, with preorders opening July 11
    • The standard models will start at $399, launching later in summer

    Initial availability includes the US, Canada, UK, Europe, and Australia, with expansions planned for India, Mexico, and the UAE by the end of the year.

    Scaling Meta’s Wearables Vision

    This release is part of Meta’s ongoing collaboration with EssilorLuxottica, the parent company of Oakley and Ray-Ban.

    With more than 2 million Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses sold, the companies are now aiming to scale production to 10 million units annually by 2026, with the Oakley line playing a key role in that strategy.
