Meta has announced its first pair of smart glasses in partnership with Oakley, marking a new step in its ambition to lead the wearable tech space.<\/p>\n

The limited-edition Oakley Meta HSTN model, announced<\/a> by Meta,\u00a0debuts at $499, with a broader release of Oakley-branded models starting at $399 later this summer.<\/p>\n

The glasses come equipped with a front-facing 3K camera \u2014 an upgrade from the 1080p resolution found in Meta\u2019s Ray-Ban smart glasses \u2014 and boast a battery life of up to eight hours.<\/p>\n

A companion charging case can provide an additional 48 hours of power. Meta says the glasses are tailored for active lifestyles, supported by their IPX4 water resistance rating and sport-focused Oakley frame designs.<\/p>\n

Like Meta\u2019s previous smart glasses, the Oakley HSTN includes open-ear speakers, built-in microphones, and integration with Meta AI, which allows users to capture photos and videos, play music, conduct hands-free calls, and receive real-time information about their surroundings.<\/p>\n

The glasses also offer translation capabilities and can answer queries based on what the wearer sees \u2014 blending AI with everyday functionality.<\/p>\n

Meta is positioning the Oakley line as its entry into the performance and athletics category, diverging from the more lifestyle-focused Ray-Ban series.<\/p>\n

To further demonstrate its focus on athletics, Meta recruited French football star Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 as part of its launch campaign.<\/p>\n

Five colour and lens combinations are available, including prescription-compatible options.<\/p>\n

The premium model, available for preorder starting 11 July, features gold detailing and Oakley\u2019s signature PRIZM lenses.<\/p>\n

The launch follows Meta\u2019s extended partnership with EssilorLuxottica, the parent company of both Ray-Ban and Oakley.<\/p>\n

Over two million Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses have been sold to date, and the companies now aim to reach 10 million annual smart glasses sales by 2026.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While Meta leads the current market, competition is mounting. Google has showcased XR glasses with built-in displays, and Apple is widely believed to be developing similar wearable tech. Still, Meta hopes to stay ahead by embedding AI into daily experiences.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is our first step into the performance category,\u201d said Alex Himel, Meta\u2019s head of wearables. \u201cThere\u2019s more to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
