So, your new Oculus is awesome. It's very impressive. Yeah, it's very cool. Coming out in October,

00:00:19

we're going to be talking about it at our Connect conference that's coming up. Yeah,

00:00:26

it's so interesting. When you put it on, so I'll just describe it to people, when I put it on,

00:00:33

there was an avatar in front of me and it was an alien woman. And the alien woman,

00:00:36

when I moved my mouth, she moved her mouth. When I moved my eyes left and right,

00:00:40

she's tracking my eyes. When I make like a angry face, like it makes an angry face. When you

00:01:38

And there's just this whole technology roadmap that we basically just need to go run down over

00:01:44

the next decade to unlock that. So for the next device that's coming out in October,

00:01:49

there are a few big features. The one that you're talking about, basically social presence. The

00:01:58

ability to now have kind of eye contact in virtual reality, have your face be tracked. So that way

00:02:07

your avatar, it's not just like this still thing. But if you smile or if you frown or if you pout or

00:02:14

whatever your expression is, have that actually just in real time translate to your avatar. I
