Framing Without a Viewfinder: Oakley Meta Test

What I Found

Oakley Meta glasses do not have a viewfinder, so framing can drift as your subject gets farther away.

Oakley Meta glasses are useful for quick point-of-view video, but there is one obvious problem: there is no viewfinder. You press record, hope your head is pointed the right way, and only find out later whether the subject was actually framed correctly.

At arm's length, centering the subject worked well. But as the distance increased, the shot started drifting left. The practical fix is simple: when your subject is farther away, aim a little to the right to help keep them centered in the Oakley Meta camera frame.
