Overview

  • The Oakley Meta HSTN smart glasses use Oakley’s performance frame to house a 12-megapixel front camera capable of recording 3K video and livestreaming with an LED indicator.
  • Open-ear speakers and a five-microphone array enable hands-free calls, music playback and immersive point-of-view audio capture.
  • Built-in Meta AI responds to voice prompts to take photos, translate languages in real time and answer contextual queries without a connected phone.
  • The eyewear delivers up to eight hours of active use and 19 hours on standby with a 20-minute quick charge restoring 50% of battery and a charging case providing 48 additional hours of power.
  • Initial shipments to 16 markets including the U.S., Canada, U.K., Europe and Australia begin after preorder, followed by launches in India, Mexico and the UAE later this year.
