Oakley Meta Glasses are a new category of performance AI eyewear from Meta & Oakley. Capture hands-free video, listen to music with open-ear speakers, and get real-time answers from Meta AI. Preorders open July 11.
Given Ray-Ban Meta's success, expanding the partnership with EssilorLuxottica into performance eyewear with a brand like Oakley is the obvious next strategic play.
This new version takes the same core tech of a camera, audio, and AI, but applies it to a sports context. The hardware is built tougher for athletes with features like water resistance, upgraded camera, and larger battery. And the Meta AI integration now acts as a performance tool, letting you ask for real-time info like wind speed on a golf course, completely hands-free.
Bringing this to the court for AI tips is a pretty clever use case. I do wonder if my friends would consider that cheating though. 😂
A few days back, I read that Snap also wants to upgrade their Spectacles. I am pretty curious how this will go on, tho still cannot see many people using such a device.
Provides affordable VR headsets. I use my Meta Quest 3 with Immersed VR to do my screen time in a virtual environment. Recent controversy from Zuck, including his misogyny and friendships with fascist tech bros and political leaders, however, made it less exciting to be associated with Meta products. =\

So it’s just a change of brand? There doesn’t seem to be any difference in functionality
