Not going to lie, fairly light on the security, actually.

But it was at Google's campus.

They brought us into a demo room and they had my prescription already.

So they just put prescriptions on the glass.

so that I could try them on.

And they do that for everyone who comes in so that they don't have to, you know, retrofit other types of lenses or whatever.

But basically I got to try the reference design, which wasn't the final version that is going to come out later this year for Morby Parker and Gentle Monster.

The reference design is what like the hardware version that Google and Samsung have been working on privately.

And the technology will be what's in available devices later this year.

Yeah.

So Android XR is sort of a cross collaboration between Samsung and Google.

So they're working both on the hardware and software.

You could say that Google is maybe working more on the software side and Samsung is helping with the hardware.

And then, of course, the design comes from Warby Parker and Gentle Monster.

And how do they look?

Do they look as good as the Metas?

They pass for completely normal glasses.

I think you can still see the cameras, obviously.

So I think they're a little more stylish than the Ray-Bans, but maybe I will get some flack for that.

They felt very lightweight, which is a very important thing because who wants to wear these really bulky things all day on your head?
