Oakley Meta Vanguard Sets New Limits for Human Potential

Welcome to the era of Athletic Intelligence

Oakley and Meta introduced the Oakley Meta Vanguard, a new category of Performance AI glasses designed for athletes who don’t just push the limits, they create new ones. Combining bold aesthetics with cutting-edge tech, Oakley has spent 50 years pushing the limits of sport, design, and performance, and together with Meta, they’ve engineered AI glasses from the ground up, built for high-intensity sports, high-stakes training, and competition.

“Our Goal at Oakley is always to create for the future and deliver to the present,” said Caio Amato, Oakley Global President. Oakley invented the sports performance category, with Oakley Meta Vanguard, we’re setting another new baseline for what is possible. We wanted to redefine what eyewear could be by delivering Performance AI glasses, technological advancements that truly amplify human potential. And it’s a leap toward a new era of human possibilities.”

Designed for Performance
Oakley Meta Vanguard is built for high-intensity sports with an action-ready camera, integrations with fitness apps, immersive audio to elevate your workouts, and more. They feature Oakley’s Three-Point Fit system and come with three replaceable nose pads, including a low- and high-bridge fit for a secure and customised feel. Optimised to wear with cycling helmets and hats, these glasses are also the most water-resistant frames with an IP67 dust and water resistance rating, meaning there’s nothing that stops a great workout.

This is the next evolution of Athletic Intelligence and sports technology, it’s innovation wrapped in art.

Oakley Meta Vanguard pushes athletic performance further with features designed for real-world action:

- Seamless Fitness Integration: Meta AI syncs with Garmin and top fitness apps to help athletes push harder and move smarter. Users can track progress, stay locked on their goals, and get performance summaries right in the Meta AI app, ensuring every workout counts. By asking, “Hey Meta, what’s my heart rate?” or “Hey Meta, how am I doing?”, real-time insights are provided. The glasses can also light up the status LED in peripheral vision, allowing users to see at a glance if they’re on target for metrics like heart rate or pace without needing to look down or break the momentum.

Enduring Battery Life: With up to nine hours of use and six hours of continuous audio playback, the battery life can last an entire marathon run or century ride. The included charging case provides an additional 36 hours, while quick charge delivers 50% in 20 minutes, keeping you moving without pause.

- Hands-Free POV Camera: Wearers can document their marathon moments or ultimate ski descents from their point of view without touching a button. The 12-megapixel camera with a 122-degree wide-angle lens records up to 3K resolution, with slow motion, hyperlapse, and adjustable stabilisation for pro-level playback and analysis.

Your Personal Highlight Reel: Oakley Meta Vanguard allows users to capture record-setting rides from their own perspective, completely hands-free. New capture modes like slow motion, hyperlapse, and adjustable video stabilisation let athletes document adventures in creative ways. Whether the video is used to step up performance or share achievements with the world, Oakley Meta Vanguard ensures athletes stay on top of their game.

Immersive Audio: The open-ear speakers are the most powerful speakers on Oakley Meta AI glasses to date; six decibels louder than Oakley Meta HSTN, so it’s perfect for running down a noisy road or biking in 30mph wind. A five-microphone array is included, optimised to reduce wind noise while on calls, messaging, or voice interactions with Meta AI.
Oakley Meta Vanguard AI glasses in Hindi: Users can now select Hindi as their preferred language in the Meta AI app settings. This update allows users to ask questions, get information, take photos and videos, answer calls and texts, and control media; all in Hindi.
New Meta AI features and experiences for Oakley Meta include hands-free voice interactions and Hindi language support to UPI Lite payments: more localised capabilities to the everyday lives of users.
Celebrity AI Voice of Deepika Padukone: Deepika joins Meta AI’s global lineup of voices for the assistant, including many other recognisable celebrity voices to choose from.
