The Oakley Meta Vanguard is a sport-first AI glasses collaboration between Oakley and Meta, built for athletes who want hands-free capture, immersive audio and Meta AI without compromising performance eyewear. A wrap-around O Matter™ frame houses a centred 12MP ultra-wide camera with 122° FOV, two open-ear speakers engineered for up to 30mph winds and a custom 5-mic array, all powered by Meta AI with Garmin and Strava integration for activity tracking and sharing. This variant pairs a Black frame with Prizm™ Transitions® Ember lenses — Oakley's Prizm™ colour and contrast technology combined with Transitions® adaptive darkening, shifting from 62% light transmission unactivated to 14% in bright conditions.
