Artificial Intelligence Glasses, Essilux-Meta with Oakley Brand: Leap with a View to the Future

EssilorLuxottica and Meta Platforms launch “Oakley Meta, a new category of Performance AI Glasses” that combines Meta’s advanced artificial intelligence with Oakley’s iconic design and Prizm lenses, revolutionizing the way athletes and fans experience and celebrate their greatest achievements, on and off the field.

Oakley Meta, explains a joint note, is the new line of smart glasses born from the collaboration between the two companies after the extraordinary success of Ray-Ban Meta, the glasses with AI technology that have inspired millions of consumers.

Technical innovations: 3K video, open-ear audio and battery life

Oakley Meta Hstn, the first model in the collection, will offer consumers new technological innovations such as Ultra HD 3K recording, for sharper and higher resolution videos than Full HD (1080p).

Users will also be able to listen to their favorite music and podcasts thanks to open-ear speakers seamlessly integrated into the frame.

Oakley Meta Hstn delivers 40% more battery life, meaning up to 8 hours of use and up to 19 hours of standby time. Plus, they come with a charging case that provides up to 48 hours of battery life, even on the go, and are also available with Prizm lenses, one of the most advanced innovations in lens technology.

Technology, design and lifestyle integrated

“Oakley Meta represents the next important milestone in our journey into wearables. With Oakley’s design and Meta’s innovation in artificial intelligence and spatial computing, we are redefining the industry,” said Rocco Basilico, Chief Wearables Officer, EssilorLuxottica.

"This project is part of a broader strategy, which looks at different brands and technologies, and fully reflects our ambition: to create a category of connected glasses that embraces different lifestyles, consumers and ways of using them. By combining design, functionality and emotion, we can strengthen human connections and create new and authentic experiences, enhancing the uniqueness of each brand. And we are just getting started."

A new chapter in sports and augmented reality

"For 50 years, we have been pushing the boundaries of what is possible, driven by an obsession to tackle challenges that still have no solution," said Caio Amato, Global President of Oakley. "Together with Meta, we are redefining the boundaries of reality: it's not just about improving performance, but also about amplifying human potential like never before.
