Oakley Meta Glasses Features, Specifications

Meta says that the Oakley Meta Glasses are performance AI glasses that cater to athletes and sports enthusiasts. They are equipped with a 12-megapixel camera, which supports video recording in up to 3K resolution — an upgrade over the 1080p resolution offered in the first-gen Ray-Ban Meta Glasses.

The camera and an LED light, which is also expected to double up as a recording indicator, are placed on either side of the frame, enabling the user to capture point-of-view (PoV) footage via a dedicated capture button. They can also do first-person livestreaming on apps like Instagram. There is a penta-microphone array for recording audio.

Like the Ray-Ban Meta Glasses (Review), the Oakley Meta Glasses allow users to take calls and send messages. They can invoke the built-in voice assistant with a simple‘Hey Meta' prompt to enable hands-free functions. The glasses allow them to ask for real-time information about the weather, leisure activity planning, culinary advice, and music playback through integration with Apple Music, Spotify, and other apps.

As per the company, the Oakley Meta HSTN Glasses are claimed to deliver up to eight hours of typical usage on a single charge and up to 19 hours on standby. The Oakley Meta glasses come with a charging case that is said to provide up to 48 hours of charging. They feature an IPX4 rating for protection against dust and water ingress.
