During the past week, I have been testing the new Oakley Meta Smart glasses, and although I love running in them, my fiancee (and career partner) wants me to stop using them.
In case it has been lost, the ongoing collaboration between goal, Essilor Luxotica has generated seven new smart glasses, a limited edition design and six regular, which incorporate useful technology in Oakley HSTN specifications.
Just as you will find on the smart goal screens, these Oakleys have a 12MP camera for first -person shots, open -eared speakers for music and a goal assistant Ai that can answer your questions and perform useful tasks (whenever they are connected to your phone and internet).
However, that does not say they are identical. Some hardware have been updated slightly, such as the camera that records higher quality videos and it is said that battery life is longer, but design is the greatest change.
And that's why I love running at HSTN smart glasses. Open ears speakers are useful to keep me with energy with music while I press, and I discovered that the HSTN frame is much better to hug my face than the walkers I have, which means that it does not move or slide both in my pieces.
They also have the 24K Prizm lenses of Oakley. These gold -dyed sunglasses are not only polarized to reduce hard rays; They also offer an improved contrast with their vision, which I have found in the case of 24K makes it easier to detect changes and grooves of land before filming an ankle.
Ruby Prizm lenses are intended to be an even better partner, although I will admit that a disadvantage of these selections is that they are only suitable for brilliant conditions. For general use, I maintain my belief that transition lenses are superior, since they can be transformed between clear and shaded according to the intensity of the sun.
So why, with all these successes, my partner despises them? Well, she doesn't think they adapt to me. It is not the design itself, but the color of the frames, which, for the pair I am testing, are white. Given my very pale complexion, it jokes that it is difficult to know where the glasses end and my head begins.
I'm not sure I agree. I think that the Oakley HSTN is radical, but if you agree that these smart glasses are not a good fashion for me, so I am not upset, I think this is really good.
That is because, although they are a device, they are also a clothing accessory. While you can find designs and colors that adapt to all, different and personal fashion options require designs such as these HSTN that perhaps do not work for everyone, but really adapt to the people for whom they work.
This is one of the great reasons why I am excited to see Android XR associate with brands such as Gentle Monster and other fashion brands, since I hope they continue to see that inventive designs receive 'intelligent' treatment.
According to my experience, I can definitely recommend the Oakley smart glasses as easily as I recommend the Ray-Ban target glasses before them.
My only advice would be to go and try them first. First, because the different Prizm lenses will adapt to different sports from a practical perspective, but also to make sure you like how it looks in them.
It is not something that we are used to thinking about technology, but portable devices are not just redefining technology, they are redefining fashion in the same extent, and does not want this accessory to end like those other fashion steps that you regret having bought.
