This is an example of the best image quality one can coax out of the Meta Ray-Ban glasses.
A fair amount of post-processing applied, mostly geometry and a bit of light, sharpening and color but not much of the latter as the images tend to be pretty vibrant and saturated in good daylight conditions.

Further Meta Ray-Ban experiments. To get the most out of them in suboptimal conditions requires a fair amount of editing, the latitude of which is limited by the jpg output.
The conditions here weren’t too tough in terms of light (though it was darker than it looks and required lifting shadows, pushing contrast, pulling down the highlights, reducing color noise) but is challenging because of the lines (something that the glasses do struggle with generally).
That said, I am pleased with the final result and the fact that one can just say, “Hey Meta, take a picture” while keeping your hands free and end up with an image like this is great.
First shot with iPhone 15 Pro. Colors and perspective tweaked in Photomator and Lightroom.
Didn’t toggle on Raw Max, because it seems there’s no way to keep it toggled on, despite there being options to keep almost every other photography feature in a saved state. 🤷♂️
And while I appreciate the replacement of the mute switch of the configurable action button, I haven’t found the placement of it to be useful for photography: clicking to open the camera is fine but using it as a shutter release is awkward, as one’s finger often gets in the way of the lens.
Other than that, all of the photography upgrades, while incremental, are meaningful and welcome.
