“It was probably one of the most magical things I've gotten to try recently. It's not totally fair because it's also not, you can buy the Ray-Ban Metaglasses, and very soon, I won't say when, but very soon, they'll have this capability.”

Transcript context

…Yeah. Amazing. Is there a favorite product that you recently discovered that you love and metaproducts are acceptable answers? The Ray-Ban Metaglass would be a tempting answer. The... The multimodal stuff, which I'm gonna get in trouble because I've been teasing this for months on social media, and it's still closed beta, and it's like, we're growing the beta slowly, but it's like, people really badly want it. It was probably one of the most magical things I've gotten to try recently. It's not totally fair because it's also not, you can buy the Ray-Ban Metaglasses, and very soon, I won't say when, but very soon, they'll have this capability. But it's more fun to think outside of the box. All right, this is such a, I'm gonna get in trouble for this answer because it's a bit of a pretentious one. I am not a car guy. Let me say that right now. I don't like cars. I don't care about cars. I want a car that works and doesn't break. I grew up, all my cars growing up, I had over 100,000 miles in them because we only ever had used cars. They were constantly breaking down and the power steering would go out while you're driving and you have to hog the thing or the brakes would go out or you'd throw a rod. I've done it all.

I'm going to get something nice. I'm driving a Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS. And... I didn't know cars could be this nice. I grew up driving used cars and whatever. I did not know it was possible. It is the best augmented reality product I think you could buy in the market today. When they had the display, it puts your turn in three-dimensional space. It's got cameras facing your eyes, so it's positioned correctly on this display relative to your eyes. And so when you've come up, it's like you're hitting a little wall. You got to turn before you hit the wall. And I was like, oh my God, I think this car has great augmented reality. So yeah, not a car guy. And I'm not trying to flex on this car or whatever it is. I like it a lot. And I didn't know they could be that nice. But the thing that I thought was so impressive was they did an amazing job with augmented reality in this car. Wow, Mercedes-Benz, a player in the augmented reality, mixed reality space. Yeah, big time. They're out there. They're out there. They're the lead. I sometimes think about having a contest where I give away products people mention in a segment, and now you've blown my budget. Ray Van Metis.…
