Oakley Meta Vanguard: When AI Steps Onto the Field
Oakley Meta Vanguard represents a defining moment in connected sports. Developed in partnership with Meta, these Performance AI glasses usher in a new era where technology becomes an athlete’s ally. After five decades of innovation in performance and design, Oakley merges its sport-driven DNA with artificial intelligence to create eyewear that analyzes, enhances, and amplifies human potential. Built for athletes who don’t just push limits but redefine them, the Oakley Meta Vanguard are more than smart glasses — they’re a seamless extension of focus, endurance, and human precision.
AI-Powered Performance, Redefined
Oakley and Meta joined forces to pioneer a new category of Performance AI glasses, designed to deliver real-time insight and interaction. With native integrations for Strava and Garmin, the Meta Vanguard tracks every stride, heartbeat, and pedal stroke. Just say “Hey Meta” to access live stats like heart rate or performance metrics — no screens, no distractions. This is the rise of Athletic Intelligence, where data becomes intuition and athletes stay fully in the moment.
“Our goal is to create for the future and deliver to the present,” says Caio Amato, Oakley’s Global President. “With Oakley Meta Vanguard, we’re setting a new baseline for what’s possible — AI-driven eyewear that truly amplifies human potential.”
Designed for Action and Endurance
Built to Go the Distance
The battery powers up to nine hours of continuous use, with an extra 36 hours from the charging case. Need a boost? Quick-charge delivers 50% in just 20 minutes — perfect for marathons, mountain trails, or all-day training.
Hands-Free POV Camera
A 12-megapixel wide-angle (122°) camera captures every moment from your perspective in up to 3K resolution. With slow-motion, hyperlapse, and adjustable stabilization, the Meta Vanguard doubles as both an action camera and a performance analysis tool.
Immersive Open-Ear Audio
Engineered for situational awareness, open-ear speakers deliver rich, clear sound without isolating you from your surroundings. A five-microphone array minimizes wind noise for crisp voice commands and calls — because performance shouldn’t pause for technology.
Comfort, Design, and Resilience by Oakley
The Meta Vanguard features Oakley’s signature Three-Point Fit system for all-day stability. Three interchangeable nose pads ensure a secure, custom fit. Built for the outdoors, the frames are IP67 dust- and water-resistant. The iconic PRIZM™ lens technology heightens contrast and color, helping athletes detect subtle details and react faster.
Available combinations:
Matte Black / PRIZM™ 24K
Matte White / PRIZM™ Black
Matte Black / PRIZM™ Road
Matte White / PRIZM™ Sapphire
Lenses are easily replaceable, with options for varying light conditions — and a PRIZM™ Low Light lens coming soon.
