Meta Launched AI-Driven Sunglasses for Athletes😎✨

The boundaries between physical and digital experiences continue to blur as major tech companies push the envelope on AI integration. This week brings us exciting developments across three key areas that are reshaping how we interact with technology daily.

Smart Wearables Meet Athletic Performance – Oakley and Meta are revolutionizing sports eyewear with AI-powered glasses that capture ultra-HD video while providing real-time assistance to athletes. These aren't just smart glasses; they're performance enhancers designed for the field.

Music Streaming Gets Transparent – Deezer is taking a bold stand on AI-generated content by becoming the first major platform to clearly label artificial music tracks. With nearly 1 in 5 daily uploads now AI-generated, this transparency initiative addresses growing concerns about authenticity and artist compensation.

Social Media Meets Video AI – Perplexity AI is transforming how we create content on social platforms with their new video generation feature on X, allowing users to generate custom video clips complete with visuals and dialogue through simple tweet prompts.

Let's dive into what these developments mean for consumers, creators, and the broader tech landscape.

Oakley Meta Glasses: Next-Gen AI Eyewear for Athletes

Oakley Meta Glasses, launching in partnership between Oakley and Meta, represent a new generation of Performance AI eyewear that blends Oakley’s iconic sport-focused design with Meta’s advanced technology. The debut model, Oakley Meta HSTN, features hands-free Ultra HD (3K) video capture, open-ear speakers for music and calls, Meta AI integration for real-time assistance, and up to eight hours of battery life (plus a 48-hour charging case). Select models include Oakley’s PRIZM™ Lens technology, enhancing visual clarity and contrast for athletes in changing light conditions. Available in six frame and lens combinations, including a Limited Edition for Oakley’s 50th anniversary, these glasses will be available for preorder from July 11, 2025, starting at $399 USD, with wider availability later in the year across North America, Europe, Australia, and upcoming launches in Mexico, India, and the UAE. The Oakley Meta HSTN is positioned as a leap forward in connected eyewear, designed to amplify human potential both on and off the field.

AI Image Generator for Artistic, Photorealistic Visuals

Deezer has introduced the world’s first AI tagging system for music streaming, making it the first platform to clearly label albums containing fully AI-generated tracks and provide greater transparency for listeners. This move follows the rollout of Deezer’s advanced AI-Music detection tool, which has revealed that about 18% of daily music uploads—over 20,000 tracks—are entirely AI-generated, though these account for only 0.5% of streams. Deezer’s detection system, which can identify music from leading generative models like Suno and Udio, aims to combat fraud, as up to 70% of streams from AI-generated tracks are fraudulent and excluded from royalty payments. To protect artists and user experience, Deezer is also excluding fully AI-generated tracks from algorithmic and editorial recommendations, and remains committed to safeguarding artist rights amid evolving copyright challenges.

Perplexity Debuts AI Video Generation on X

Perplexity AI has launched an innovative AI video generation feature for its ‘Ask Perplexity’ service on X (formerly Twitter), allowing users to tweet prompts to @AskPerplexity and receive custom 8-second video clips complete with visuals, sound, and dialogue—even featuring real politicians and celebrities, thanks to advanced multimodal AI models15678910. The rollout, which began on June 19, 2025, quickly went viral as users flooded the platform with creative requests, leading to some processing delays due to high demand9. Perplexity has implemented robust safety measures and content filters to prevent misuse and ensure responsible AI use, while the feature remains exclusive to X for now, expanding the company’s growing suite of generative AI tools for digital communication.
