and this gadget has the potential to be
00:00:03
a really big or really small gap between
00:00:06
how I think it's going to go and how it
00:00:07
can actually go totally like I I am
00:00:09
watching these videos I'm like this does
00:00:11
not seem great like I don't believe that
00:00:14
a projector onto my hand is going to be
00:00:16
great UI is it going to track my hand
00:00:18
around when I move or do I have to have
00:00:19
my hand in the perfect place is it going
00:00:21
to Sag on my clothes because the weight
00:00:23
of the pin and the computer and the
00:00:24
battery is too much the material do I
00:00:26
have to like put my hand in a certain
00:00:27
spot if my skin color on my hand is
00:00:29
different from normal is that going to
00:00:30
work if I don't have a hand how's
00:00:31
accessibility for that all those
00:00:32

I think the idea of an AI assistant that
00:00:43
you kind of just ambiently have around
00:00:46
you is is a cool idea and I wonder if
00:00:49
we're going to feel like this is
00:00:51
something that's ahead of its time
00:00:53
because the tech just isn't good enough
00:00:55
to accomplish that yet
