There\u2019s a new pair of Meta<\/a> smart glasses in town that\u2019s an alternative to the popular Ray-Ban Meta smart sunglasses<\/a> I\u2019ve been using for the past couple of years now. I\u2019ve been testing out the Oakley Meta HSTN glasses<\/a> for a week now, and while I\u2019m still on the fence about the design, it certainly has a few upgrades that make this pair of glasses worthwhile.<\/p>\n

Not only does it have double the battery life and shoots video in 3K resolution, it also has all of the same Meta AI features I\u2019ve come to rely on a lot. However, I came across a new feature that I haven\u2019t seen before \u2014 and it\u2019s trippy to say the least.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s the restyle AI tool within the Meta AI<\/a> app I use to download and share videos I\u2019ve recorded from my Oakley Meta HSTN glasses. That new feature reimagines how those videos look with the help of Meta AI. After trying it out on a few videos, I\u2019m convinced they look like the stuff I dream in my dreams. Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n

Meta AI restyle tool: What you need to know<\/p>\n

First of all, you can only use the restyle AI tool with videos captured by any of Meta\u2019s smart glasses. When you select a video, only up to 10 seconds of the clip can be restyled \u2014 which is probably to speed up the process because the clip gets uploaded to the cloud for processing.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s plenty of featured restyle options to choose from, but they\u2019re also broken up to different categories like fashion, locations, weird, lighting and style. Once a selection is made, it takes around a couple of minutes at most for the cloud to generate the final video; you\u2019ll get a notification once it\u2019s ready.<\/p>\n

All of the restyle videos appear to be downsized 1,660 x 2,218 resolution at 24 frames per second, whereas the originals from the Oakley Meta HSTN glasses are shot in 2,192 x 2,928 resolution at 30 fps. I’ve converted them into animated gifs to better illustrate them, but know that the quality and frame rates are much better with the actual videos.<\/p>\n

Meta AI restyle tool: Cyberpunk<\/p>\n

It\u2019s listed under Featured for a reason, but the cyberpunk restyle option is one of my favorites because it blends those bright neon colors associated with the style and perfectly transforms this stroll through Times Square in New York City. While I wish that more futuristic elements got added to the video, the piercing reds and blues make the final version stand out.<\/p>\n

Meta AI restyle tool: Videogame<\/p>\n

Another one listed under the Featured section that I think does a good job is the videogame style. The pinks and purples that Meta AI blends into the clip give it that video game feel, while the polygon-looking sky complements it.<\/p>\n

Meta AI restyle tool: Kitty<\/p>\n

Okay, this one\u2019s a little terrifying if you ask me. It\u2019s like every person is slowly morphing into a human-sized Garfield.<\/p>\n

The effect doesn\u2019t apply to every single person in the clip, which I suspect is due to how it only recognizes the most prominent faces. As I\u2019m walking through the crosswalk, you can see how it transforms the people directly in front of me \u2014 but does nothing for everyone else in the background.<\/p>\n

Meta AI restyle tool: Porcelain<\/p>\n

Using the same clip, I asked Meta AI to restyle it with the porcelain effect, which is under the styles category. This one looks better than the kitty style, as more people in the scene are transformed into marble statues. It\u2019s neat, but I wouldn\u2019t say it’s as impressive as some of the others.<\/p>\n

Meta AI restyle tool: Anime<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a fan of Japanese animation, then you\u2019ll enjoy the anime restyle option that applies the look and style of a modern anime. Yes, it\u2019s on the cartoony side, but I think it perfectly transforms the scene into anime with its bright colors and<\/p>\n

Meta AI restyle tool: Dystopian<\/p>\n

What\u2019s really impressive about the dystopian style is that it looks the most realistic of the bunch that I\u2019ve tried out so far. The sprawling life of Times Square is suddenly transformed into some warzone \u2014 something you\u2019d see in movies like “The Hunger Games.” The smokey skyscraper and the war-torn streets make the effect more convincing.<\/p>\n

Meta AI restyle tool: Bottom Line<\/p>\n

When I watch these clips I\u2019ve transformed with Meta\u2019s AI restyle tool, they definitely change up the aesthetics. Some do a much better job than others as I\u2019ve clearly pointed out. I do wish there were more realistic looking restyle options.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, it\u2019s a fascinating glimpse into the capabilities of what AI editing tools could do. They\u2019re not meant to distort my perception of reality, but I think it\u2019s a fun tool for creators to push the boundaries of their creativity.<\/p>\n
