Oh, I would be excited about that.
Yeah, there were a few.
I mean, speaking of smart glasses, right?
So Lenovo, they had a smart glasses concept.
It was essentially this non-working prototype that has a monochrome display and a camera, but it didn't really offer from what was apparent at the presentation, any really compelling use cases compared to say, you know, the smart glasses that one can purchase for meta.
And we know how tough that wearables division has been for meta as well.
Yeah, that's not an area that's necessarily proven profitable, at least not in recent history.
There was another one called the Lepro AMI AI Soulmate.
It was described as an always-on 3D AI soulmate.
It's essentially a holographic woman inside an 8-inch curved screen.
I mean, a little bit invasive, maybe also just an example of putting AI into products that don't need it, so...
It was a slightly odd one.
I don't know how many people are going to want to buy this thing.
And I think it also goes back to like a lot of the comments I was seeing coming out of CES was there were all of these different sort of products that had sort of the term AI attached to them, but it wasn't necessarily something that's going to make our lives better as consumers.
It's not something the average consumer is asking for.
One other one, there were these powered rollerblades, so the Peak S electric skis.
They're designed to simulate skiing on dry land.
There was a reporter who tried them, described the experience as sort of a slow, awkward skiing motion across a carpeted floor.
So, hey, I don't want to knock it until I try it.
