Earlier this year, we introduced Oakley Meta HSTN, launching a new category of <\/span>Performance AI glasses<\/span><\/a> for athletes. Today at Connect, Mark Zuckerberg announced that we\u2019re expanding this product category with <\/span>Oakley Meta Vanguard<\/span><\/a>, a brand-new line of Performance AI glasses built for high-intensity sports. Welcome to the world of Athletic Intelligence \u2014 amplifying performance to help you push past limits in the moments that matter most.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019re proud to take our leadership with EssilorLuxottica in wearable tech to the demanding world of sports, where your equipment has to keep up with extreme action. From the trails to the slopes, Oakley Meta Vanguard is the next evolution of sports technology.<\/span><\/p>\n We designed Oakley Meta Vanguard for high-intensity sports with an action-ready camera, integrations with fitness apps, immersive audio to elevate your workouts, and more. They feature Oakley\u2019s Three-Point Fit system and come with three replaceable nose pads including a low- and high-bridge fit for a secure and customized feel. And they\u2019re optimized to wear with cycling helmets and hats. These glasses are also our most water-resistant frames with an IP67 dust and water resistance rating \u2014 meaning there\u2019s nothing stopping you from a great workout.<\/span><\/p>\n Oakley Meta Vanguard\u2019s wraparound design features Oakley\u00ae PRIZM\u2122 Lens technology, designed to block out sun, wind, and dust.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The open-ear speakers are the most powerful speakers on our AI glasses yet \u2014 six decibels louder than Oakley Meta HSTN, so it\u2019s perfect for running down a noisy road or biking in 30mph wind. They also include a five-microphone array optimized to reduce wind noise while on calls, messaging, or using Meta AI with your voice.<\/span><\/p>\n Oakley Meta Vanguard has up to nine hours of battery life, or up to six hours of continuous music playback \u2014 enough to last you through a marathon. The glasses come with a charging case that can provide an additional 36 hours of charge on the go. And if you\u2019re in a hurry, you can quickly charge the glasses to 50% in just 20 minutes in the charging case.<\/span><\/p>\n If you have a compatible Garmin device, you\u2019ll be able to ask Meta AI how you\u2019re doing or get updates on specific stats in real time, all hands-free and screen-free so you can remain present while you train. Just ask, \u201cHey Meta, what\u2019s my heartrate?\u201d or \u201cHey Meta, how am I doing?\u201d to get real-time insights. The glasses will also be able to light up the status LED in your peripheral vision so that you\u2019ll be able to see at a glance if you\u2019re on target for the metric you set like heart rate or pace without needing to look down or break your momentum.<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019ve also built a new autocapture feature with Garmin so that you can capture videos without taking out your phone or breaking your concentration. The glasses will automatically capture video clips when you hit key distance milestones or ramp up your heart rate, speed, or elevation, so you can stay immersed in your workout knowing you\u2019ll never miss the shot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For those training with Strava, you can graphically overlay your performance metrics onto videos and photos captured with Oakley Meta Vanguard and share directly to your Strava community \u2014 all within the Meta AI app. Footage with overlays can also be shared across other apps like Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, and more. The result is more than just a workout recap \u2014 it\u2019s a way for athletes to showcase their effort, celebrate milestones, and inspire their community. Plus, when you set up App Connections with Garmin Connect, Apple Health, or Health Connect by Android, you\u2019ll get activity summaries directly in the Meta AI app after each workout, so you can compare your progress over time.<\/span><\/p>\n Oakley Meta Vanguard lets you capture your marathon moments, record-setting rides, and once-in-a-lifetime ski runs from your own point of view, completely hands-free. It can capture video in up to 3K resolution and has a centered 12-megapixel camera with a 122-degree wide-angle lens, so you can capture your most meaningful and epic moments hands-free. We\u2019ve also added new capture modes like Slow Motion, Hyperlapse, and adjustable video stabilization, so you can document your adventures in new ways. Imagine going down the slopes, finally nailing that trick you\u2019ve been practicing, and capturing it all in slow motion.<\/span><\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re using that video to step-up your performance or share your wins with the world, Oakley Meta Vanguard ensures you stay on top of your game.<\/span><\/p>\n Oakley Meta Vanguard will be available in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Australia, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. We\u2019re also working to bring Oakley Meta Vanguard to Mexico, India, Brazil, and the United Arab Emirates later this year.
