Meta’s Oakley Smart Glasses Have 3K Video—Watch Out, Ray-Ban
When Meta launched The second generation of his Smart Ray-Ban glasses at the end of 2023, little predicted the success that awaited us in collaboration-perhaps not even meta.
But now, with more than two million sales to its credit, Meta has sought a way to expand its partnership with the giant glasses and owner of Ray-Ban, Essilorluxottica and maintain the momentum. The answer seems to face them in the face: a collaboration with the second largest brand in the company, Oakley.
“We have launched our second generation of Ray-Ban meta-lunes to [Meta] Connect yourself a year and a half ago, and they took off faster than what we expected, “Wired Alex Himel, vice-president of portable devices in Meta, said.
“We found people who leaned in different cases of active use with [Ray-Ban Meta]. And so Oakley, which is a brand that has represented both performance and technical innovation, looked like the next most natural step in our collaboration. »»
Like Ray-Ban Meta, Oakley Meta will be a full range of smart glasses, with a number of styles to choose as the line develops. However, it is the popular executives Oakley HSTN (pronounced how Stuhn) who are the first to obtain the youthful meta, with all the same Meta Ai features as Ray-Ban Metas, but with improved features intended for a performance market.
This includes a battery life of 50% longer, with a pair of Oakley meta fully loaded with HSTN from a duration up to eight hours of typical use compared to four hours on the meta-banque. The Oakley Meta load radiance also gets a boost, with up to 48 hours of travel time on the go, against 36 hours in the meta of Ray-Ban.
It may be all the more surprising when you hear that the Oakley meta also has a higher resolution camera, allowing you to share a video in 3K video, in the middle of HD in the Ray-Ban metas. This is a new improvement in physical battery and software software, says Himel, but can the owners of Meta-Ban Ray-Ban are expecting similar improvements to the future?
