This Monday began the popular enclosures of San Fermín. This tradition, which comes from 18th century And he has turned Pamplona In the home of the best known bullfighting celebration in the world, it consists in the conduct of the brave cattle (they star 6 brave bulls and 6 horses) From the pens to the bullring where they will be dealt with that same day. The race, popularized internationally in the twentieth century, and the parties at which they are framed, attract to hundreds of thousands of people every year to the capital Navarra, which sees quintuplicate or more its usual populationabout 200,000 people, during the 9 days that last the festivities in honor of the employer, together with San Francisco Javier, from Navarra.
San Fermín covers both holidays and working days, so that the influx varies According to the weekend or not. It is estimated that runners in a confinement, which has a tour of some 848 meters Through narrow streets of the old town of Pamplona, they can add between 2,000 and 4,000 people on average. This agglomeration and the presence of bulls presents important security problems. The injured are usual; the Deathsnot so much, but not extraordinary: 16 people have lost their lives running in front of bulls since 1910.
In this context, the Pamplona City Council It has a series of rules aimed at increasing care in the race, and among them, the prohibition of using mobiles or ‘any medium Image or sound engraver’under a fine of up to € 1,500. The reason is evident: having people pending the recording and not of surrounding runners is a danger to others that can have tragic consequences.
However, the Current technology makes it easy to escape that prohibitionas the Tiktok user @trentonjdavis, who has used the Meta glasses to record the confinement from within.
This is how a San Fermín confinement is seen from within
In a video posted yesterday on Tiktok and has become viral, Davis shows how one of this year’s first enclosures has been, as it passes through Estafeta Street. Davis, run, don’t run much. It is positioned on a side of the street waiting for the bulls to pass, hindering those who runand only when the first group of cattle does it is set in motion. That allows you to see Groups of people piled up on the ground And how one of the bulls threatens to lag, but is aimed again in the right direction by the shepherds. Nor is he the only one who is recording, despite the municipal regulations, since in the previous moments Other people are seen with mobile phones waiting for the arrival of bulls.

But while a person with the mobile in hand can be required to leave the confinement by the police, It is doubtful that that happens with someone who wears the finish goggles.
The only product that emerged from the monumental investments of Zuckerberg in the metoverso that has found the certain commercial success can pass perfectly through normal glasses and Do not get attention at allcontrary to what happened with the Google Glass From a little more than a decade. The finish lines allow to take photos, record video, broadcast live, make calls, send messages and use the finish line for a variety of functions. And he has in his favor the correct formwhich has been obtained in collaboration with the brand Ray-Banand an accessible price that starts from € 329.
But the truth is that, although they allow to record an confinement without anyone noticing, Using anything that diverts the attention of bulls and other runners is an error in the enclosures of San Fermín.
