Oakley x Meta drop futuristic smart Glasses that channel your inner Spy Kid
These AI-powered eyewear pieces blend sporty style with futuristic technology. Oakley is entering the smart tech arena, and they're doing it in signature style. In celebration of five decades of cutting-edge innovation, the eyewear brand has teamed up with Meta to unveil its most futuristic release yet: the Oakley Meta HSTN. Equal parts sporty and sci-fi, this limited-edition launch fuses fashion-forward design with artificial intelligence to deliver a wearable that feels straight out of Spy Kids. As the first product in Oakley's new smart eyewear category, the Meta HSTN doesn't just look good; it's smart, too. Featuring Ultra HD 3K video capture, these glasses enable hands-free POV content capture with a simple voice command: 'Hey Meta, take a video.' Whether you're on a cycle ride, catching a wave, or simply living life on the move, you can capture moments as they happen with no phone in sight. Integrated open-ear speakers allow you to listen to music, podcasts, or calls without blocking out the world, while Meta AI delivers real-time answers right in your ear. Need directions? A restaurant recommendation? A motivational quote mid-workout? Just ask. Built for action, the Meta HSTN boasts an IPX4 water resistance rating, meaning it can stand up to sweaty gym sessions or sudden rain showers. Battery life is equally impressive, offering up to eight hours of typical use and 19 hours on standby, along with a sleek charging case that provides an additional 48 hours of power. And if you're short on time? A quick 20-minute top-up gives you a 50 per cent charge. The line will launch in a new global campaign featuring Team Oakley athletes, including World Cup winner Kylian Mbappé and three-time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes. 'For 50 years, we've been pushing the boundaries of what is possible, obsessed with solving unsolved problems,' said Caio Amato, Global President of Oakley. 'Together with Meta we are setting new bounds of reality – It is not only about pushing forward performance, but also about amplifying human potential as never before. And this is just the first chapter of a new era for sports.' Expected to land in the UAE later this year, the Oakley Meta HSTN is set to retail between AED 1,800 and AED 2,000. Whether you're a tech lover, a fitness fiend, or simply want to upgrade your eyewear game, this is one smart investment that blurs the line between style and science. GO: Visit for more information.

Zoho Launches Zia Hubs to Empower MENA Businesses to Extract Intelligence from Unstructured Data
Zoho Corp., a leading global technology company, today announced the launch of Zia Hubs in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, a new solution within Zoho WorkDrive, the company's secure content collaboration platform that enables businesses to extract intelligence from unstructured data and activate it across their operations. Built on Zia, Zoho's proprietary AI engine, Zia Hubs allows organisations to connect various types of content—documents, audio, video, and more—to Zoho's expansive suite of apps for deeper insights, agentic AI capabilities, and unified, context-aware search. 'According to IDC, 80 percent of business data is unstructured,' said Hyther Nizam, President Middle East and Africa (MEA), Zoho. 'Most unstructured data is text-based, meaning pertinent information lives within email conversations, social media posts, word processor documents, or audio and video transcripts. In fast-evolving economies like those in the Middle East, the ability to leverage AI to unlock hidden value from business content can dramatically improve decision-making, operations, and customer engagement. With Zia Hubs deeply integrated into our suite of apps, customers can put their data to work in ways unmatched by any other platform,' Nizam added. Zia Hubs is now part of Zoho WorkDrive, which gives businesses full control over what content is AI-accessible and allows them to organise team or project-specific material into dedicated 'hubs'. Once the content—ranging from PDFs and spreadsheets to call logs and video files—is added to a hub, Zia automatically structures it, preserving context through section headings, supporting visuals, and linked references. For audio and video content, Zia generates searchable transcripts and highlights key moments tied to relevant topics, making it easy to locate exact moments quickly. With Zia Hubs, users can ask complex questions and receive cited answers that span across myriad content formats. Whether a user is referencing a legal document, financial spreadsheet, or customer support recording, Zia's responses link directly to the original material. Businesses can also create automated workflows using Zoho Flow, ensuring that the latest relevant files are consistently routed into the appropriate hubs for ongoing analysis. Moreover, Zia Hubs supports content from third-party sources such as DocuSign, RingCentral, and Zoom, giving teams the ability to manage and analyse external data with the same intelligence layer. Zia Hubs is a foundational element of Zoho's long-term AI strategy, laying the groundwork for a future where intelligent agents can act contextually on content across the company's entire product suite. With full ownership of its technology stack spanning more than 55 products, Zoho is uniquely positioned to help organisations unlock deeper value from their business content compared to competitors. Future updates to Zia Hubs will allow it to identify structured information within unstructured files and trigger specialised agents tailored to specific business needs, further utilising Zia Hubs as the central content intelligence layer that activates AI-native workflows across the full Zoho ecosystem. Zia Hubs will be available as part of Zoho WorkDrive by end of Q3 2025, and would integrate fully with applications like Zoho CRM, Zoho Desk, Zoho Projects, and Zoho Flow. Businesses in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and throughout the region can take advantage of this powerful new capability to transform content into intelligence and intelligence into action.
