Oakley Meta HSTN AI glasses: Details

Meta says the Oakley Meta HSTN glasses are built for athletes and sports enthusiasts. The design is based on Oakley’s HSTN frame series and includes an onboard camera for hands-free video capture. For audio, they use open-ear speakers, and the IPX4 rating protects against light splashes, making them suitable for workouts and outdoor use.

 

The Oakley Meta HSTN introduces multiple improvements over the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 1 glasses. Meta claims up to eight hours of typical use per charge, along with fast charging that can deliver up to 50 per cent battery in around 20 minutes. With the included charging case, total usage time can extend to as much as 48 hours. The camera has also been upgraded to support 3K video capture for sharper recordings. 

The glasses come with built-in Meta AI, allowing users to issue voice commands to get information, control features or capture videos hands-free. Meta says the assistant can help with real-time queries and contextual guidance while on the move.

 

Meta has also introduced several India-focused features for the Oakley Meta HSTN lineup:

• Hindi language support for Meta AI, available in the Meta View app’s Device Settings.
• A new Celebrity AI Voice featuring Deepika Padukone’s voice in English.
• Ongoing testing of UPI QR-code payments, enabling users to look at a QR code and say “Hey Meta, scan and pay” to complete a UPI Lite transaction, processed via WhatsApp-linked bank accounts.
