La Derecha Diario Ray-Ban Meta: how camera-equipped glasses linked to fraud in medicine work
A video of a medical exam recorded with Ray-Ban Meta glasses went viral: how they work and how much they cost
A viral video linked to the medical residency exam put the Ray-Ban Meta in the spotlight, a pair of smart glasses with a camera and artificial intelligence.
The case triggered an official investigation and sparked interest in this wearable technology device that can record without being detected.
What happened with Ray-Ban Meta and the residency exam?
On July 1, the national medical residency entrance exam was held. Shortly after, a video went viral showing an applicant casually filming all 100 questions of the exam.
Authorities suspect that he used Ray-Ban Meta to record the content and send it to third parties from the bathroom. He then reportedly returned with the answers.
A technology that's hard to detect
The device, manufactured by Meta in partnership with Ray-Ban, combines a discreet design with high-tech features. Precisely for this reason, they went unnoticed during the exam.

- They are controlled with voice commands like "Hey Meta."
