Through Ray Ban Meta glasses, I stared into the city, and the city stared back at me

Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses reflecting Times Square on author's face.

I didn’t think Pasta Man would talk to me. Wearing Ray-Ban Meta glasses and recording a video, I was an onlooker. Pasta Man had other plans. He talked to me; of course he did. Blocks from Times Square, making cheesy pasta at a food stall - he knows he’ll be on videos. I wasn’t ready for the ways that wearing smart glasses would change my New York City experience, but the City was definitely ready for me. 

When you read about smart glasses or see them in use, you think that it’s all about the camera and sharing photos to Facebook. I haven’t shared a single photo to Facebook yet, even though Qualcomm sent me these Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses two weeks ago.
