Are we better off having them at the company?

Absolutely, right?

And are a lot of people who work at the company for several years and then build up the relationships internally, right?

and kind of have the trust and have a sense of how the company works.

Can they go work remotely now if they want and still do it as effectively?

And we've done all these studies that show it's like, okay, does that affect their performance?

It does not.

Um, but you know, for the new folks who are joining, um, and for people who are earlier in their career and, you know, need to learn how to solve certain problems and need to get ramped up on the culture, um,

when you're working through really complicated problems where you don't just want the formal meeting, but you want to be able to like brainstorm when you're walking in the hallway together after the meeting.

I don't know, it's like we just haven't replaced the kind of in-person dynamics there yet with anything remote yet.

So

There are basically two big new things that we've added to Quest 3 over Quest 2.

The first is high resolution mixed reality.

And the basic idea here is that you can think about virtual reality as you have the headset and all the pixels are virtual and you're basically immersed in a different world.

Mixed reality is where you see the physical world around you and you can place virtual objects in it, whether that's a screen to watch a movie or a projection of your virtual desktop, or you're playing a game where like zombies are coming out through the wall and you need to shoot them.

Um, or, you know, we're, you know, we're playing dungeons and dragons or some board game and we just have a virtual version of the board in front of us while we're sitting here.

Um,

All that's possible in mixed reality.

And I think that that is going to be the next big capability on top of virtual reality.

I'm super excited about it.
