Short answer: Jordan Metzner still finds the camera a little creepy, but notes Meta gave glasses to veterans with vision problems and imagines uses like reading a menu. He says $300 makes them accessible and expects glasses designs to converge.

Jordan Metzner [21:33]: I think from my perspective, I mean, the Meta Glasses are super interesting. They brought the price point down, obviously, that's really I mean, and then they brought in Kylie, which I think is obviously interesting. I personally think still think like the camera's a little bit creepy. I think if they made like a no camera version
Ryan Aytay [21:50]: Two things right here.
Jordan Metzner [21:51]: Well, they're just like, people in certain scenarios don't want a camera on them like that. Well, I agree that like you're being recorded, part of that is kind of the cameras get obfuscated in your normal day to day life, so you try to, like, kind of act normal. But, know, I don't know if you heard, but, they gave away some of these meta glasses to veterans who have vision problems. And so it seems like, this is like an optimal use case, which is you have vision problems and these glasses can help you. And even if you don't have, like you're not blind, I can just you know, my parents used to like always have to put on glasses when they go to a restaurant and, they show the use case of, like, read the menu for me and see what I like the best. And so it is an interesting, type of new user experience. And obviously, at $300, it makes it pretty accessible. I don't know what they're gonna do with specs at $2,200 plus the, like, cauliflower ear Yeah.
Ryan Aytay [22:47]: The fashion statement.
Jordan Metzner [22:49]: Yeah. Yeah. But it does seem like early days. And obviously, know Apple's working on it, of course. Jony Ive, Yucky mentioned at OpenAI.
Sam Nadler [23:00]: Did Jony Ive confirm he was working on glasses? I thought it was still a mystery what the device I don't know. Was going to be.
Jordan Metzner [23:06]: But I mean, market convergence against like, interfaces. Right? And so, like, it's the same reason why like all the iPhone looks the same as the Samsung phone, you know. I think like we're gonna find convergence on glasses as well. So anyway, hey, Ryan. It was really great to meet. Thanks for joining us today. That was super cool to learn about CodeMetal and just like a whole area where, we don't even think about basically, like six five nines of, confidence and making sure systems will work and, you know, everybody gets back to their family home at night. So that was really awesome.
Sam Nadler [23:38]: Yeah. Ryan, where can people find you?
Ryan Aytay [23:42]: So I we actually just on the website, LinkedIn, I do a lot of posting lately. We've got a couple exciting announcements this week as well, so we'll be getting those out this week and next week and codemetal.ai. So we look forward to chatting with you guys again.
Jordan Metzner [23:59]: Perfect. Thanks, Ryan. Alright. Thanks, Ryan.
Ryan Aytay [24:01]: Have a nice Alright.
Jordan Metzner [24:02]: See you guys.
