So they're doing sort of the same thing of trying to make them fashion forward.

For sure.

Yeah, I think so.

Let me, here, I'm going to turn my camera on real quick so you can see them.

I'm wearing a pair of the Gen 2 Ray-Bans right now.

Oh, yeah, for sure.

They they look I would not know the difference.

I have been told they don't necessarily work on my face, but.

Oh, that's harsh.

The meta people told me they look quite good.

Well, there's also genuinely useful use cases, I guess.

Like, I was recently paddleboarding with my mom, and I was using the Meta Ray-Ban glasses and was able to take pictures without, you know, again, taking my phone out of the dry bag or whatever.

There's also, you know, there are some people who are legally blind who use the AI to identify things around them.

There are transcription services for people who are deaf that that can be useful, too, if the AI is good enough to make it work.

There are real reasons that people want these and real things that they can do.

Some of them haven't manifested exactly all that well, but I think the promise is definitely there, and I think people are really intrigued by it.

I think Meta in particular has done a really good job at putting the right phone features into the glasses, right?

Like it's things that you would want, you know, want to take a picture in the moment, want to ask a question that's off the top of your head, want to know somebody's name that's not in there yet, but maybe eventually someday.

I think maybe a significant cognitive advantage is kind of a crazy way to say it.

But also, I do think there are advantages to having this information readily available on your face in the moment.
