That's crazy.

Born on third base with teeth wise.

It's crazy over there.

Anyway, played video games as a kid, obviously, but starts hacking them, learns a little bit about computers.

Super intelligent.

PhD in math track.

I don't think he graduated, finished the PhD, but I mean, you know, at that level of intelligence.

He turned down the PhD to go work at NASA, I think.

So he was at NASA, eventually branches into entrepreneurship, starts Leap Motion.

Pretty traditional venture-backed startup, raised money.

I think Founders Fund was in at least one of the rounds.

But it was a grind.

by all accounts.

And so the first product brought hand tracking to VR.

We should pull up a video of the original Leap Motion because there's some cool demos and you can see how it worked.

And it's not actually that crazy.

to think about what we're gonna talk about today with the mid-journey medical scanner, if you know the history of Leap Motion and some of the technology that was employed there.

Yes, this is a different use case, different product, very much bigger, but in terms of sensing, detecting, mapping, using algorithms, yeah.

Yeah.

Everyone thought VR was going to take off.
