Meta Unveils Oakley Smart Glasses with 3K Video and Extended Battery Life

Meta has teamed up with Oakley to launch a new pair of smart glasses priced at $399, offering a range of features such as 3K video recording, music playback, call handling, and responses to Meta’s AI prompts. These glasses come with a longer battery life compared to Meta’s previous collaboration with Ray-Ban, offering double the duration. A special $499 limited-edition Oakley Meta HSTN model will be available starting July 11. This partnership marks a significant push by Meta into wearable tech, combining Oakley’s innovative designs with Meta’s AI technology. Additionally, the Week in Review highlights other significant tech updates, including Wix’s $80 million acquisition of Base44, a startup focused on no-code AI tools, and the launch of Finland’s world’s largest sand battery, which stores heat to help power a small town. Other updates include the launch of a new e-bike by VanMoof, the creation of space-based lasers by Aetherflux, and news from the U.S. Navy on its growing partnerships with startups.
