00:00We've spent 11 years and invested more than $3 billion in building augmented reality glasses.
00:09That's right, we've been building AR glasses since before Snapchat had chat.
00:16We're obsessed with making computers more human.
00:21And with advances in AI, computers are thinking and acting like humans more than ever before.
00:27But if we want to unleash the true potential of AI, we need to bring it into the real world.
00:36So we're on our fifth generation of Spectacles.
00:39They're fully stand-alone, lightweight, immersive, see-through AR glasses.
00:45There's no bulky headset, no puck, no tether, no phone required.
00:51And they're powered by Snapdragon.
00:53Thank you, Ziad and the team.
00:55That was a great presentation.
00:57And they've got an operating system built from the ground up for augmented reality.
