Meet Oakley Meta HSTN Smart Glasses (Pronounced: HOW-stuhn)
Oakley Meta HSTN smart glasses are the first model of their lineup that comes in a combination of bold aesthetics and intelligent design. Designed specifically for athletes and content creators, it functions in a way that no wearable has done before.

Unlocking Athletic Potential with AI
Oakley Meta HSTN Smart Glasses with AI are a game-changer because they allows users to interact with the surroundings in some intuitive ways. There is no need for screens to control or run it because it works in a hands-free manner.
Imagine you are playing football and wondering how the shot selection or wind is affecting its trajectory. In such a situation, instead of checking your phone or smartwatch, you can use voice control and ask, “How strong is the wind today?” or ask it to capture movement after the shot. That’s how the Oakley Meta HSTN smart glasses are changing the way we capture and create content.
PRIZM™ Lens Technology: Vision, Enhanced
Oakley has always chosen PRIZMTM Lens Technology, a high-performance lens for enhancing detail and contrast. It fine-tunes the light spectrum and manipulates light at a molecular level using proprietary dyes.
The wearer can pick up subtle visual cues in a dynamic environment. Even small details like a sudden shift in lightning during a mountain bike ride or an alternation in cloud color become visible. In fact, it enables better visibility while aiding athletes in capturing faster reaction times.
As a result, you can track your performance and improve your skills. Moreover, the PRIZM™ lenses offer better depth perception along with a clear understanding of terrain or playing fields.
In the future, this gonna get better with the ongoing Oakley research. If you are wearing prescription glasses, then the Oakley META HSTN model comes with an Rx-ready feature. No wonder this is a cherry on the cake moment for athletes.
