Ray Ban Meta hack - nobody Will Tell

[@ThaiLifeAmerican]

Yes, you cover the camera while you turn your glasses on and when you hit record and because the LED is covered, it will compare the light as being equal. And when you remove your finger from the camera it will continue to record because it's no longer comparing. It's just during startup. It'll be much more difficult for them to do it while recording because video recording goes from zero light to infinite light. So this trick has been working for me since I bought mine months ago. I figured it out on my own, but it's interesting to see that somebody else put a video up about it took apart my sunglass version of these and replaced the LED with an infrared LED so it still thinks it has and LED. It's just that nobody can see the LED because it's in the infrared spectrum. That was very difficult and did leave a little bit of damage after done, but the LED is easy to get out. The camera itself is the most impossible to get out

[@trailchaser2]

Since you already took apart the glasses do you think there is a chance to just rotate the sensor 90 degrees?

[@amenonyky]

What if you pricked the LED with a hot needle from the outside. Does the algorithm know it has a malfunctioning LED?

[@maximilian200057]

@@TheTurbinator That would be a pretty touch process, but definitely worth it. Now, if you can only record one minute at a time, it's still not worth it. If you're trying to record something bad, you may need several minutes. If you're recording something like someone being violent or a cop acting out of line, one minute is certainly not enough time.

Make a small vinyl circle to cover the LED forever it will stick but yet be removable if need be. Then Block the camera with almost anything (matchbox, black guitar pick) and hit record then remove the object.

You can't once you take it apart the glasses are done for no putting them back together

[@therealniggabruh]

@@yaboynook5865how sure are you about that?

[@goldengrapeorg]

You can use an optical fiber guided light sensor. The so-called optical fiber can simply be a piece of fishing line, which can guide the bright light from an LED out to the side of the glasses and also channel ambient light from the side into the system. However, this can sometimes fail in dimly lit indoor environments because the camera photographs a brighter area, while the optical fiber captures the dim ambient light from the side, resulting in too large a discrepancy between the two.

You do not have to request permission or inform them of recording to record people when in public property in the US. But yeah- this light is lame, and I have lost capability because a little speck of dirt got on the lens during a bike ride. Couldn’t record the entire downhill. Glasses could be better if Meta did not force failure with the lens slightly dirty. In low light it doesn’t work also.

[@angelgonzalez-sv7vc]

​@PestVic i think it has more to do when the led light comes on the harrasment stops, so no video evidence

[@kenwitherow6829]

make a small circle of tape to just cover the light. the sensor is around the outer perimeter of the light so as long as you leave that uncovered it will work

[@cleverestx]

I've heard this no longer works as the sensor moved closer to the light in the latest versions, not the border region. Is this true?

[@JakeOFM]

Is it the same for live-streaming?

[@AndrejsZavadskis]

yes. you can start stream normally and then cover it.

I think it might be that the light filtered through my finger doesn’t match that of the led blocking tape. So either need to use tape that will filter equal to my finger, or use the same led blocking tape for that second over the camera.
