00:00Some people working on the Apple wearables have called these devices sort of the eyes and ears to the smartphone
00:05for the AI and cloud era.
00:09What about use cases, though? Because I think a lot of people think, OK, well, is it just like a
00:13smartphone on your face?
00:14The use cases at this point are to make this device an accessory to your iPhone.
00:19The computer vision cameras, obviously, you're going to be able to take high-resolution pictures.
00:23And the frame point of taking pictures from the smart glasses, taking video from the smart glasses gives you some
00:29unique standpoints and features from a creativity standpoint for photography and videography.
00:36The other thing is Siri.
00:38They need to get this new Siri out the door in order to make these smart glasses functional or usable
00:43in any proper way.
00:44We'll see how good their visual models are.
00:47But in terms of overall features, you're talking about many of the same things that Meta and others have been
00:52doing for years with their smart glasses.
00:54In addition to capturing media, looking at something and asking what it is, I've talked about visual reminders.
01:00One cool potential use case is walking down the street, using the built-in speakers in the smart glasses to
01:06be told where you're going in turn-by-turn directions and maps.
01:09And rather, it tells you to make a left in 400 feet, it says make a left by the gray
01:14hotel or the white minivan or whatnot.
01:17So, getting more context by using those cameras.
01:22Obviously, you'll do phone calls.
01:23You'll do music.
01:25They're going to be AirPods, essentially, with more battery life and health sensors and functionality.
01:30So, it's an accessory.
01:32It's not going to change the world, but until Apple is able to figure out a way to do augmented
01:38reality glasses with displays at normal cost, at normal battery life, at normal processing power, this is the reality.
