That's a lot actually.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
That's awesome.
It's expensive to submit this.
What a great question.
So I think one of the things that actually makes me so excited about specs and our work on glasses in general is that we've been focused on it so clearly for such a long period of time that we have really compounded our technical advantages.
in so many different ways and i think it's hard to talk about it now because people haven't seen the next generation product but what i think people will realize is that it reflects our ownership of the full stack so everything from the developer tools to the rendering engine to the operating system itself to the optical engine which we have designed and built ourselves to be the highest you know most performant optical engine in the world
And then a bunch of other stuff we haven't announced yet.
All of that together means that we are going to be able to deliver a product experience that will be unmatched.
And I think that that is something that's really exciting to me and very, very hard to replicate because the technical advancements and the problems we've solved are so hard to solve.
They're such difficult problems.
And we've been focused on investing in these areas for such a long period of time.
And then when you layer on the ecosystem with the developer tools and all of this other
proprietary technology, I think it becomes something that you can't just copy paste like a software feature.
And that's one of the things that was so appealing to us about investing in the hardware space and on building our own developer ecosystem, because we realized over time that if it's just a new software feature, it's super easy to copy.
And it's never been more true today with AI.
I mean, now you can copy almost any piece of software in a couple of minutes.
So I think it's really illustrating for folks that if you want to differentiate long term and build a business with a real moat, it has to be an ecosystem like our augmented reality ecosystem or our content ecosystem or have network effects like our messaging business.
