I am requesting that Open Camera integrate support for capturing photos and videos directly from Meta Wearables, specifically the Ray-Ban Meta AI Glasses (Gen 1/2) and similar devices, leveraging the official Meta Wearables Device Access Toolkit.

This integration would allow meta Ray-Ban users to utilize the superior controls, processing, and open-source nature of Open Camera to manage the visual media captured by their smart glasses, bypassing the limitations of the proprietary companion app for capturing, organizing, and processing media.

Specific Technical Requirements
This feature would require the implementation of the following components, as provided by Meta's developer resources:

Meta Wearables Device Access Toolkit Integration: Use the official Android SDK to connect to the glasses and request permissions to access the camera data streams.

Benefits for Open Camera Users
Hands-Free Capture: Allows Open Camera to manage truly hands-free photography and videography directly from the user's point of view.

Advanced Control: Provides Open Camera's advanced options (e.g., streaming quality/fps, specific photo file formats, custom file naming, detailed metadata management) to wearable captures.

Unified Media Management: Consolidates captured media from the phone's camera and the wearable device into one highly-configurable, open-source application.
