Oakley is set to launch its Meta HSTN AI-powered smart glasses in India on 1st December, expanding its performance-focused wearable lineup after the model debuted globally in June. Designed for athletes and active users, the Meta HSTN combines Oakley’s iconic sports design with Meta’s on-device AI intelligence.
The Oakley Meta HSTN is engineered for high-intensity outdoor and sports use, featuring:
- 12 MP ultra-wide 3K camera for hands-free photo and video capture
- Capture LED to signal when recording is active
- Open-ear directional speakers for music, calls, and alerts while maintaining environmental awareness
- Meta AI voice assistant, activated via “Hey Meta”
- Touch + voice controls for seamless interaction
- IPX4 water resistance, ideal for sweat and splashes
- Long battery life with up to 8 hours typical use, 5 hours continuous audio, 19 hours standby, charging case offering up to 48 additional hours
- Fast charging: 50% in 22 minutes, 80% in 45 minutes

- Compatibility: Android 10+ and iOS 15.2+ smartphones via the Meta AI app
The Meta HSTN glasses come with Meta AI fully integrated, offering hands-free assistance for everyday tasks – weather queries, messaging, music, navigation highlights, and object recognition.
A major addition for India is complete Hindi voice interaction, enhanced by Sarvam AI’s language models. Users can ask questions, take photos, or control media in Hindi via: “Hey Meta…”. Meta AI also supports celebrity voices, including Deepika Padukone as one of the first available voice personas in India.
A new feature currently being tested will allow users to pay via “Hey Meta, scan and pay”. Looking at a QR code will allow secure UPI Lite transactions through WhatsApp-linked bank accounts – no phone required.
