Meta and Oakley Launch AI-Powered Smart Glasses, Signaling a Tech Renaissance
Once a punchline, smart glasses are staging a comeback. Meta's new collaboration with Oakley—the HSTN frames—leverages cutting-edge AI to redefine wearable tech. Unlike Google Glass's 2014 failure, these glasses arrive when real-time AI processing and consumer readiness align.
The shift reflects broader tech maturation: AI now delivers contextual awareness, not just gimmicks. Meta's MOVE signals Big Tech's renewed bet on augmented reality as the next interface frontier—where faces become home screens and glasses evolve from niche gadgets to mainstream tools.
