Hey, Chris.
How are you doing?
Good to meet you.
Good to meet you.
So as Max mentioned, we've got the eyeglasses here.
We start with a foundation of great glasses, something stylish, lightweight, wearable.
I'm going to say how can we build great technology and experiences on top of that.
One of the core tenets of the AndroidXR platform, this idea of a multimodal conversational device, see what you see, hear what you hear.
So you've got a camera, you've got speakers, multiple microphones for speaker isolation.
I'll give you a chance to try these yourself.
Yeah.
Sorry, I woke it up there.
Whoa.
Yeah.
So the first thing you see is a super simple, straightforward home screen.
So you probably see the time, the weather, calendar appointments there.
This is designed to be sort of your one-stop shop for quick, glanceable information throughout the day.
We want to do something that's
easy to, you know, get what you need and then go back to what you're doing.
So you can imagine, you know, turning on the display, getting that quick glance and then continuing on your way.
You can be fully conversational at this point.
You can ask questions, for example, about the paintings.
You can interrupt.
You can ask follow-up questions.
And as I mentioned before, if you want to at any time pause, you just tap there on the right.
So a few more things that we want to show you just for sake of time.
If you go ahead and long press on the side again to sleep Gemini there.
There you go.
Did you catch Google I.O.
last week by any chance?
Yes.
So you might have seen on stage the Google Maps experience very briefly.
I wanted to give you a chance to get a sense of what that feels like today.
You can imagine you're walking down the street.
If you look up like you're walking straight ahead, you get quick turn-by-turn directions.
So you have a sense of what the next turn is like.
Nice.
Keeping your phone in your pocket.
Sometimes you need that quick sense of which way is the right way.
Yeah, sometimes.
So let's say you're coming out of subway, getting out of a cab, you can just glance down at your feet.
We have it set up to translate from Russian to English.
I think I get to wear the glasses and you speak to me if you don't mind.
I'm doing well.
How are you doing?
And so obviously, you know, based on the different languages and the sequence of subjects and verbs, there's a slight delay sometimes, but it's really just like subtitles for the real world.
