At that moment, she didn't even present arguments, but simply yielded the floor to Senators Juan Cruz Godoy and Bruno Olivera to explain the technical changes introduced to the bill.The key fact that debunks the rumor is that the senator did not use the smart glasses during her closing speech, a central address in defense of the labor reform that lasted over 45 minutes in the early hours of February 12th.She also was not wearing them when she asked for the floor hours earlier to pay tribute to the late Senator Sandra Mendoza.Bullrich's response: "Why would I use them?BUENOS AIRES, Feb 15 (NA) -- Following the marathon session that culminated in the labor reform's passage in the Senate, social networks were flooded with images of Senator Patricia Bullrich sporting striking white-framed glasses.".When asked by Chequeado about the accusations that she was receiving instructions from advisors through the glasses, Bullrich was blunt:"Total lie.The investigation confirmed that the head of La Libertad Avanza's bloc did use the device, but very briefly and not during key stages of the debate.The actual use during the sessionThe fact-check detailed that Bullrich only wore the glasses around 11:30 AM during a brief intervention of less than two minutes.Multiple posts claimed the legislator was using Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses to secretly receive "earpiece" instructions or record her peers without being noticed.However, according to an investigation by journalists Delfina Corti and Manuel Tarricone for the Chequeado website, the viral claims are taken out of context.The glasses cannot receive anything.They feature directional speakers built into the arms that project sound directly into the user's ear canal without disturbing those nearby, allowing one to listen to audio or a call while remaining aware of ambient sounds."It's a camera in a public space".Furthermore, the legislator explained the practical reason she prefers this device over traditional earbuds in the chamber:"The thing is, the Ray-Bans replace AirPods but let you listen to the session, unlike AirPods, which block your ears".How Ray-Ban Meta glasses workDeveloped in collaboration by the iconic eyewear brand and the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, these smart glasses allow you to take photos, record videos, make hands-free calls, and interact with Artificial Intelligence.Their main audio feature, which aligns with Bullrich's argument, is that they are not inserted into the ear.
