Smart glasses that whisper information to you while you walk the city? Yes, you read that right!
Meta and Oakley have teamed up to launch smart glasses that look like they came straight out of a sci-fi movie, but they are real and available for purchase. These glasses are not just a fashion accessory – they are your personal AI assistant, camera, music player, and much more, all packed into one futuristic device.
What’s new?
The new model, called Oakley Meta HSTN, brings several impressive upgrades compared to the previous Ray-Ban Meta glasses. First, the battery lasts twice as long – a whopping 8 hours! That means you can walk around all day, listen to music, make calls, and use the AI assistant without worrying about the glasses dying in the middle of your day.
Second, the camera now records in 3K resolution. Forget blurry photos and videos – now you can capture every moment in crystal-clear quality. All this in a frame that looks like classic Ray-Ban glasses but with Oakley’s sporty and futuristic design.
Who are these glasses for?
If you have avoided smart glasses because you didn’t like the style or had vision problems, Oakley Meta HSTN has a solution. They come in six different frame and lens combinations, including prescription versions for an extra fee. So even those who wear glasses for vision can now enjoy this technology.
What can they do?
These glasses feature a discreet front camera, open-type speakers, and microphones built into the frame. You can listen to music, make calls, take photos and videos, and there is a constantly active Meta AI voice assistant. It can translate foreign language signs, answer questions, and provide contextual information in real-time.
Price and availability
If you thought this would be an affordable gadget, think again. The limited edition Oakley Meta HSTN glasses cost around 600 dollars or euros, while the rest of the collection will be available during the summer starting at about 400 dollars or euros. So, not for every average user’s pocket, but for those who want to be trendy and ahead of time, this is a must-have.
Future or just an expensive toy?
While some praise the innovation and futuristic design, others wonder how useful this really is and whether we need another device spying on us and distracting us. With cameras and microphones always active, privacy is definitely a topic to consider.
Conclusion
Meta and Oakley have made a serious step in the world of wearable technology. Smart glasses that whisper information to you while you walk the city sound like a sci-fi dream, but they are now reality. Whether they will conquer the masses or remain just an expensive gadget for enthusiasts remains to be seen.
What about you? Would you wear glasses that follow you and whisper information? Or is that too much “Big Brother”? Drop a comment, let’s see who’s in and who’s out of this tech revolution!
