That's my main question looking at this is like Vision Pro has been in the super
00:00:04
zoomed out grand scheme of things kind of a flop. Samsung's coming along finally dropping their competitor to it.
00:00:10
It's like why just to have a parody with Apple's ecosystem or do you really really believe the headset is the future
00:00:16
or It reminds me of just all the different hype cycles we've gone through like the
00:00:20
metaverse where companies will think okay we got to invest in this cuz this is what everyone is saying the future is
00:00:27
and so they dump a ton of money and research and development into it. We did a demo of like all these Gemini features
00:00:32
and all these Android features. It's like having an Android tablet on your face and all these gestures and eye
00:00:37
controls and hand controls. It'll be interesting to see how they compare. Again, it's like comparing an Android
00:00:42
phone to an iPhone is one thing, but comparing an Android headset to an a Vision Pro almost doesn't make sense.
00:00:48
Like I don't know if anyone's cross shopping those things. It's better to have a flop than it is to miss the wave
00:00:52
just in case it unflops.
