Athletic smart glasses developed through a collaboration between Oakley and Meta
Oakley and Meta have unveiled the Oakley Meta Vanguard, a revolutionary new line of performance smart glasses designed specifically for athletes. These innovative glasses are now available for preorder, with an official launch set for October 21.
The Oakley Meta Vanguard smart glasses come with a price tag of $499 and offer a host of features that make them an ideal companion for athletes. They are compatible with popular fitness platforms like Garmin and Strava, allowing for real-time AI stats and milestone auto-capture.
One of the standout features of the Oakley Meta Vanguard smart glasses is their new capture modes. These include Slow Motion and Hyperlapse, enabling athletes to capture their moments of glory in unique and dynamic ways.
The glasses are equipped with a 12MP wide-angle camera that can shoot up to 3K video, ensuring high-quality footage. The open-ear speakers are loud enough to cut through 30 mph winds, making them ideal for outdoor activities. Furthermore, the five-microphone array is tuned to cancel out wind noise during calls or when using the Meta AI with your voice.
The Oakley Meta Vanguard smart glasses are IP67-rated, meaning they are dust-proof and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. They are designed to fit snugly under helmets or hats, making them suitable for various sports.
The glasses are lightweight, weighing just 66g, and their wraparound PRIZM lenses are swappable, with four frame-and-lens combos available at launch. Replacement lenses will cost $85, with a low-light option coming soon.
The charging case for the Oakley Meta Vanguard smart glasses adds an additional 36 hours of battery life, extending the total usage time to about 45 hours. The glasses themselves have a battery life of about nine hours.
The Oakley Meta Vanguard smart glasses are compatible with fitness platforms like Garmin Connect, Apple Health, and Health Connect by Android. This allows for activity summaries after each workout. Strava users can overlay performance metrics directly onto their videos and share them on social media platforms.
Meta, in collaboration with Oakley and Ray-Ban, is launching the next generation of its smart glasses globally. The Oakley Meta Vanguard smart glasses will be available at launch in the U.S., Canada, UK, and most of Europe and Australia. There are plans to expand availability to Mexico, India, Brazil, and the UAE later this year.
Adjustable video stabilization is available in the Oakley Meta Vanguard smart glasses, ensuring smooth and steady footage, even during intense workouts. The open-ear speakers are 6 decibels louder than the Oakley Meta HSTN model, providing clear audio during calls or while listening to music.
In conclusion, the Oakley Meta Vanguard smart glasses offer a unique blend of style, technology, and performance, making them an ideal choice for athletes. With their wide range of features and compatibility with popular fitness platforms, these smart glasses are set to revolutionise the way athletes capture and share their fitness journeys.
