Meta and the Battle for Smart Glasses | Google's Return | 3

quite on the level that Gemini is right now.

And so I'm interested to see how they pull off putting that stuff in their glasses.

Business Wars

During the IO event, when Google was announcing these glasses, they definitely were focusing less on content capture and trying to film the world around you and more just using the cameras as a way to guide you through the world.

Business Wars
Meta and the Battle for Smart Glasses | Google's Return | 3

So I think that's definitely a focus that Google is going for.

Business Wars
Meta and the Battle for Smart Glasses | Google's Return | 3

And I'm curious to see how that plays out for them.

Business Wars
Meta and the Battle for Smart Glasses | Google's Return | 3

I think that's kind of their dream, right, is having you locked in that walled garden.

Business Wars
Meta and the Battle for Smart Glasses | Google's Return | 3

I do think Google's approach is...

Business Wars
Meta and the Battle for Smart Glasses | Google's Return | 3

a little broader because of android xr allows third-party developers to build on it whereas metas is doing its own thing i think in general the future of smart glasses is like julian was saying earlier more niche you know trying to make them lighter and i think there's gonna be a lot of smaller brands really fighting it out and i think they're gonna struggle in the face of these of these giants

Oh, they're getting there, I'm sure.

Business Wars
Meta and the Battle for Smart Glasses | Google's Return | 3

Right?

Business Wars
Meta and the Battle for Smart Glasses | Google's Return | 3

I think they're probably working on it.

I think they had a little bit of a setback with their Vision Pro, which was really heavy and was...

Business Wars

It very expensive and didn't quite reach.

Business Wars
Meta and the Battle for Smart Glasses | Google's Return | 3

I mean, it was it was a developer device.

Business Wars
Meta and the Battle for Smart Glasses | Google's Return | 3

So I think it probably reached an audience they were expecting, but they haven't really iterated on that very much.

Business Wars
Meta and the Battle for Smart Glasses | Google's Return | 3

But I think the pressure to get into the smart glasses space is huge.

Business Wars
Meta and the Battle for Smart Glasses | Google's Return | 3

Definitely probably pretty high in Cupertino right now.

Business Wars
Meta and the Battle for Smart Glasses | Google's Return | 3

So I imagine they're working on it.

Business Wars
Meta and the Battle for Smart Glasses | Google's Return | 3

WWDC is soon.

Business Wars

I don't know if we'll hear anything about that.
