Meta's Oakley Vanguard Sports Glasses Tried to Turn Me Into Xtreme Sports Guy

The wraparound smart glasses, coming Oct. 21 for $499, add a centered camera, better battery life and Garmin watch connection for stats. I even ran with them, briefly.

I started with CNET reviewing laptops in 2009. Now I explore wearable tech, VR/AR, tablets, gaming and future/emerging trends in our changing world. Other obsessions include magic, immersive theater, puzzles, board games, cooking, improv and the New York Jets. My background includes an MFA in theater which I apply to thinking about immersive experiences of the future.
