What if your glasses could capture your best moments, answer your questions and keep you connected without reaching for your phone? That future is arriving in Malaysia.
With their Malaysian debut set for 20 October 2026, EssilorLuxottica and Meta are introducing the latest Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta AI eyewear collections to local consumers. With Meta AI now available in Malay, the launch also brings hands-free artificial intelligence closer to everyday life in Malaysia.
But these are more than smart glasses. They represent two different approaches to modern life: Ray-Ban Meta puts personal style and everyday convenience first, while Oakley Meta takes AI into the world of sport and performance.
Ray-Ban Meta: Your Everyday Style, With a Smarter Side
For a generation that documents life as it happens, Ray-Ban Meta feels like a natural extension of the smartphone — minus the need to hold one.
The new Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3) collection brings Meta AI into familiar silhouettes, including the iconic Wayfarer, Aviator and the feminine Zena. The appeal is simple: eyewear that looks at home with your everyday wardrobe, yet does much more than complete an outfit.
Its built-in camera lets you capture photos and videos from your own point of view, whether you are exploring a new city, meeting friends or catching a spontaneous moment worth sharing. Open-ear speakers let you listen to music and podcasts, take calls and send messages while remaining aware of the world around you.
Meta AI adds another layer of convenience. Ask questions about what you see, or use hands-free features to translate conversations and get assistance on the go. With Meta AI support in Malay, interacting with the technology becomes more relevant to local users.
Prescription wearers are not left out. Ray-Ban Meta Optics (Gen 2), including the Blayzer Optics and Scriber Optics styles, expands the collection with optical-first designs and prescription options. Lens choices across the wider portfolio include Transitions, Polarized and Blue Light Filter options, depending on the model.
Designed for those who move seamlessly between classes, work, travel, socialising and content creation, these AI-powered glasses integrate useful technology into something they already wear every day.
Oakley Meta: For Those Who Live in Motion
If Ray-Ban Meta is about everyday expression, Oakley Meta is designed for people who want their technology to keep pace with them.
The Oakley Meta HSTN and Oakley Meta Vanguard combine Oakley’s sporty design language with Meta AI, hands-free capture and open-ear audio. Both bring a first-person perspective to training, outdoor adventures and the moments that happen between them.
The Oakley Meta HSTN is the more versatile option for athletes and active lifestyles. Its built-in camera captures video in 3K Ultra HD, while integrated speakers deliver music and podcasts without covering the ears. With IPX4 water resistance, it is made to handle splashes and everyday training sessions.
For more demanding pursuits, the Oakley Meta Vanguard is engineered around performance. Its 12MP ultra-wide camera offers a 122-degree field of view, while Oakley’s PRIZM lenses enhance contrast across changing light conditions. Wind-noise reduction, a secure Three-Point Fit system and IP67 dust and water resistance make it suitable for running, cycling and outdoor training.
Its integration with compatible Garmin devices and Strava brings performance tracking into the experience, helping users monitor their progress without constantly checking a screen.
Imagine recording a cycling route from your own perspective, listening to your training playlist or reviewing performance data after a run. For the fitness-minded generation, this is technology designed to move with you rather than interrupt the moment.
One Future, Two Different Perspectives
What makes the arrival of AI eyewear interesting is not simply the technology. It is how naturally it can fit into daily routines.
Ray-Ban Meta makes sense for those who want style, connection and hands-free content creation.
Oakley Meta speaks to those who measure their days in kilometres, workouts and outdoor adventures. Both offer a different way to interact with Meta AI while keeping a smartphone in your pocket.
Of course, AI glasses are not a replacement for every smartphone function. Their real appeal lies in making selected tasks feel more immediate, hands-free and effortless.
Price and Availability
The collections will be available from 20 October 2026 at Ray-Ban and Oakley stores, as well as selected EssilorLuxottica retail locations, including Sunglass Hut, A-Look and SEEN, and participating optical retailers across Malaysia.
Suggested starting prices are:
- Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3): RM2,119
- Ray-Ban Meta Optics (Gen 2): RM2,209
- Oakley Meta HSTN: RM2,069
- Oakley Meta Vanguard: RM2,589
With AI eyewear entering the Malaysian market, the next evolution of wearable technology is no longer just something to watch on a screen. It is something you can wear, use and experience as life unfolds — one frame at a time.
