Washin Optical Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce the launch of 'Oakley Meta', heralding a new era of performance AI glasses, now available at 37 of our stores.

We are introducing two models that fuse Oakley's distinctive design DNA with Meta's industry-leading technology: the Oakley Meta Vanguard and the Oakley Meta HSTN.

Oakley has consistently challenged the norms of performance, culture, and sports, redefining the possibilities of eyewear. The innovative Oakley Meta Vanguard and Oakley Meta HSTN, equipped with industry-leading technology, enable hands-free shooting via an integrated camera, designed to share the best moments both on and off the field. Users can enjoy playlists and podcasts to boost motivation, gain deeper insights into their physical performance, and maintain high concentration with real-time data support.

The performance AI of Oakley Meta represents an evolved 'Athletic Intelligence'. With a built-in personal AI assistant, athletes can access various functions through simple voice commands. Furthermore, integration with platforms like Garmin and Strava allows athletes to ask Meta AI about their performance and training during workouts, receiving immediate, real-time insights.

The Oakley Meta Vanguard is a frame engineered for sports, blending advanced performance features with immersive technology. Designed with a focus on movement and endurance, its shield lens fits naturally under a helmet, ensuring comfortable wear even during intense activity. It also incorporates Oakley's Prizm™ lens technology, which adjusts light wavelengths to enhance colors and contrast for optimal vision tailored to specific environments and sports. The centrally located 12 million-pixel camera offers a 122-degree ultra-wide field of view, capturing dynamic, athlete-perspective footage. High-output open-ear speakers deliver clear sound with reduced wind noise even in wind speeds of up to approximately 48 km/h, designed to help maintain focus during activities like running and cycling. With IP67 dust and water resistance and a long battery life of up to approximately 9 hours, it is built for demanding environments and extended use. A customizable action button allows users to assign various functions, further supporting athletic performance from multiple angles.

The Oakley Meta HSTN is a lifestyle performance glass that naturally integrates into daily use, from light sports like golf and running to everyday wear, combining advanced AI technology with Meta AI. Like the Oakley Meta Vanguard, its lenses feature Oakley's Prizm™ lens technology. Additionally, it offers lineups with Transitions® (photochromic) lenses and prescription lenses suitable for daily use. It boasts IPX4 water resistance, a battery life of up to approximately 8 hours, a 12-megapixel camera with a 100-degree field of view supporting 3K video recording, and integrated open-ear speakers within the frame.
