Oakley Meta smart glasses officially launch with 3K camera and Meta AI

Oakley and Meta just made it official. The new Oakley Meta HSTN smart glasses are here, bringing Meta’s tech to a new audience outside of Ray-Ban. It’s the first release under the Oakley brand and comes with some pretty solid upgrades.

The headline feature is a new 3K camera built into the frame. That means sharper video for recording your workouts, golf swings, or just your daily commute. The glasses still include open-ear speakers, too, so you can listen to music or take calls without blocking outside noise.

Battery life also gets a boost. Meta claims up to 8 hours of active use and 19 hours of standby. The case can hold enough juice to keep the glasses powered for up to 48 hours while you’re on the go.

Meta AI is also built in. You can ask about wind speed, get translations, or identify what you’re looking at, all hands-free. It’s one of the more practical use cases for on-face AI so far.

The first pair to launch is a limited edition. The Oakley Meta HSTN 50th anniversary edition features gold accents and 24K PRIZM polarized lenses. It’ll be available for pre-order starting July 11 at $499.

The standard Oakley Meta HSTN smart glasses collection will follow later this summer, starting at $399. There will be six frame and lens options, and yes, you can get them with prescription lenses, too.
