Meta Oakley HSTN Smart Glasses Debut in India with Hindi Support

Meta and Oakley are introducing the HSTN smart glasses in India on December 1, offering a mix of camera, audio and hands-free features suited for everyday and outdoor use.

The wearable includes a 3K video camera, open-ear speakers, IPX4 water resistance and up to eight hours of battery life, with an extra 48 hours provided through the charging case.

A key addition for Indian users is full Hindi voice support. By enabling Hindi in the Meta app, users can give commands, control music, capture photos or videos, and make calls entirely in Hindi.The language feature is developed with Sarvam AI Labs.

The glasses will also offer a “Celebrity Voice” option featuring the English voice of actor Deepika Padukone, giving users more choices in how they interact with the device.
