Every photon that hits your eyes is coming from a mediated system that's making them synthetically.
That's where I fall on this.
That's where the really cool applications come.
That's how we're going to fuse many spectrums of imaging.
That's how we're going to fuse the real world and the virtual world seamlessly in useful ways, in compelling ways.
It's actually also going to be good for your eyesight too.
It's going to keep all those UV rays out of your eyes.
holes so i'm a big fan of it technologically marketing wise the way that they're doing everything they're not going to sell that many of them but that's not the point the vision pro is the thing that is trying to prime the audience to be ready for a vr revolution not the vr revolution itself a few quick hits for you before we wrap up the first is if you had to hire everyone based only on you knowing how good they are at a certain video game what video game would you pick
I'm immediately actually jumping to wanting to rig the competition.
I would want it to be something that John Carmack has made, like Quake 3, so that then John Carmack would come work for me again.
He left id Software to be our CTO at Oculus a year
after we started Oculus.
And that was the strongest hire I've ever made.
I wasn't able to get John to come over to Anduril.
He loves what we're doing.
We're still buddies, but he's working on AGI.
That's been his push.
The immediate thought is I want to just rig your competition.
It's actually just about hiring John and nothing else matters.
If I couldn't do that, I think I would pick Kerbal Space Program.
