You had spectacles, you had drones.
I don't think people remember you had this drone that could take photos of you.
And then you have specs coming out.
Is it specs or spectacles?
The name of what's coming out today, by the way.
Specs.
Okay, cool.
We're going to talk about it, but just maybe you've already answered it, why this is something you're so passionate about, but why this kind of ongoing investment in hardware?
So I got an early preview of the specs and it's extremely cool.
I learned how to be an airbender.
I put plants all over my house, drawing all over the place.
And there's multiplayer features, which is very cool, which I think is part of the idea, right, is you're connecting with people versus sitting in like a VR environment on your own.
Like, I worry about being connected all the time.
So I imagine that's like a new thing we have to figure out.
How do we not just get hooked on just watching things on the side instead of looking at someone we're with?
Do you have any thoughts there?
Just like, is there a solution to that other than just like social norms?
I want to go back to this idea of how to innovate.
I feel like Snap has always been punching above its weight in terms of just how much new stuff comes out of your team, how many inventions happen, considering the size of the company and the history.
What do you find needs to be true for innovation to happen?
