Well, I'm holding a different pair of smart glasses.

They're the X-Real R1 glasses that I used to watch the Fellowship of the Ring yesterday.

Just a giant screen on my face that I can move around with.

Oh, sure.

They're lightweight glasses that plug into your phone or, you know, your Steam Deck or console.

And then they project a big screen out in front of you and it's a little blurry.

And it's a little bit of a limited field of view.

It's about 57 degrees.

You still see the rest of the room around you and your peripherals.

So it's

Kind of dizzy and kind of hard to get used to, but after a bit, you settle in.

I did not make it through the entire three-hour movie.

Not that I'm a fashion expert at all, but looks are just such an important part of a thing that you're going to be wearing front and center on your face.

Like,

People wear Ray-Ban glasses and Oakley glasses because they look good.

And Meta made a really strong partnership there with Ray-Ban and Oakley to make glasses that functioned as smart glasses, but also looked like something people would actually wear.

Depends on the model.

You can get them anywhere between $250 starting and then they go up to $500.

I think the display lenses are a little bit more expensive than that.

No, the Gen 2 just have audio features and cameras.
