    The pinch feels like a gimmick. It’s not enough fidelity of options.

    You can switch to YouTube? Cool. Now what? Use just your fingers to select your history and a video from your history. And then, go ahead and look up a specific video by keyword.

    You can pinch to select a screen to watch a movie? Great! How do you pause? Play? Skip back? Skip forward? Increase volume?

    Let’s see you send an email.

    The pinch is barely more than useless. The value of this is a monitor on your face. There’s no real augmented reality going on here. It’s a screen in the glasses.

    This requires a real computer to do all the work, and it’s also going to require a mouse and keyboard for anything of substance.

      This is a dev model with finger tracking but it will hopefully integrate with DEX.

    Real talk, all i want is Apple or someone to make something more useful, like a pair of glasses or goggles that has app or built in ability to correct vision without needing to get prescription. But i bet the eye doctors and places that make prescription lens would go out of business. So i see why the tech companies are not making this. I know they have the tech abilities to do it. Think of it as another feature like Apple has the health things like heart rate monitor and sleep monitor and to me helping ones vision would be a welcomed feature. Also lens color tint change per sun levels and light levels. All these things im positive could be done. But im not clueless to the results of this and how it could destroy all the eye businesses out there. But one can dream. ✌️

They cover everything from the Japanese fish-killing technique that became a startup thesis, why American fish is now being imported into Japanese fish markets for the first time ever, and how Founders Fund thinks about contrarian bets in food and agriculture.
