Oakley HSTN Meta AI

The Oakley HSTN Meta AI smart glasses are an excellent solution for those keen to capture their bike rides and stay connected hands-free, without having to reach for their phone. On the go, you can easily capture your best moments with the camera, listen to your favourite music, and ask Meta AI for the weather, directions or a translation of a road sign – all using your voice or a tap on the arms.

This model features Transitions Amethyst lenses, which automatically adjust their tint depending on the amount of sunlight. Indoors or in the shade, the lenses are virtually clear; in bright sunlight, they darken to a beautiful purple hue. This means you will never have to change your glasses again when out and about in changeable weather.

Transitions photochromic lenses
Transitions Amethyst lenses react to the amount of UV light. Indoors or in the shade, they are clear; in bright sunlight, they darken to a deep purple tint. This means you always have clear vision in changing weather conditions without having to change your glasses.

Camera and 3K video
The built-in 12MP ultra-wide camera captures photos and videos in 3K from your own point of view. An LED light on the front lights up as soon as the camera is switched on, so that people around you know you are filming. If you cover the light, the camera will not work.

Meta AI with voice control and live translation
With “Hey Meta” or a tap on the temple, you can control the glasses hands-free: make phone calls, choose music, ask a question, take a photo, etcetera. The five microphones ensure clear speech. Live translation converts spoken language in 20 languages in real time via the speakers and the app, which can be very convenient when you are travelling.
