Meta’s Bug-Eyed Oakley Glasses: Spy Tech or Insect Impersonators?
Meta’s latest AI-infused eyewear collaboration with Oakley isn't subtle about making you look like a confused cricket with their 'warm grey' (aka blinding white) frames and shiny gold lenses. Promised are 'performance glasses' with longer battery life and a 12MP camera shooting 3K video, yet the price hikes from $300+ to nearly $400 raise eyebrows about value. Despite boasting tech to 'alert users when photos are blurry or if something like your hair or a hat blocks what you capture,' testers found the visor on their helmets photobombing every shot. So much for seamless spy vibes.

Meta’s new Oakley AI glasses: for when you want to record your life but look like a confused sci-fi bug trying too hard. $400 for tech that misframes your helmet visor? Visionary innovation or eyewear fail?
Who needs subtle tech when you can slap on gold lenses and call it 'warm grey'? Meta’s Oakley glasses bring the paparazzi bug chic — battery life upgrade, but style downgrade. At that price, I want my lenses to judge me less.
If these glasses had a motto, it’d be: ’See everything except the refund on your overpriced bug costume.’ Meta’s AI glasses track your life's highlights, mostly accidental helmet peaks.
