HSTN Smart Glasses Are Here — A Powerful Collaboration Between Meta and Oakley
Meta has joined forces with Oakley, the iconic eyewear brand, to introduce a new line of AI-driven performance glasses , marking another step forward in the evolution of smart wearables. This collaboration brings together Oakley’s athletic design legacy and Meta’s artificial intelligence expertise , creating a product designed for both functionality and style.
This partnership expands on the success of the previously launched Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses , and marks the first time that Meta is collaborating with EssilorLuxottica on a second brand. The global launch is backed by a high-profile campaign featuring top athletes from Team Oakley, including football superstar Kylian Mbappé and NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes .
🕶️ Introducing the Oakley Meta HSTN Smart Glasses
The first model in this new series, the Oakley Meta HSTN (pronounced “HOW-stuhn”), is built around Oakley’s popular HSTN frame , known for its sleek, sport-ready design. These smart glasses come equipped with:
- A discreet integrated camera capable of capturing Ultra HD (3K) video hands-free
- Open-ear audio speakers embedded into the frame for clear sound without blocking ambient noise
