what time is
00:00:02
it 2:43 p.m. if you ever don't want to
00:00:06
use audio it also has a projector built
00:00:09
in which is impossible for me to show
00:00:10
you from this angle but I basically just
00:00:12
hold my hand out in front of me and a
00:00:14
little UI appears on my hand which is
00:00:18
new I've never seen that before it's
00:00:20
really really unique I think we can
00:00:23
actually get to a point where Tech can
00:00:25
deliver the promise of like the virtual
00:00:27
assistant which I'm really excited about
00:00:29
yeah the problem with this one is it's a
00:00:33
separate device from your phone it
00:00:35
doesn't pair to your phone it's totally
00:00:37
separate and so it therefore doesn't
00:00:40
know anything about you that your phone
00:00:42
knows about you your phone knows a lot
00:00:45
about you and the friction required to
00:00:48
get it to the point of it knowing about
00:00:49
you is so great because of all the other
00:00:51
flaws that I don't think I'll ever get
00:00:52
there m that's my problem with it
