1
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack team podcast

2
00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:11,693
Speaker 1: from News Talks that'd be.

3
00:00:12,853 --> 00:00:17,373
Speaker 2: Apple has tried to crack out the consumer wearables market

4
00:00:17,453 --> 00:00:19,933
Speaker 2: in the last couple of years with some new products,

5
00:00:19,933 --> 00:00:24,173
Speaker 2: including this Apple Vision Pro headset, which was its kind

6
00:00:24,213 --> 00:00:29,453
Speaker 2: of augmented reality headset. Extremely expensive. Some people love it,

7
00:00:29,493 --> 00:00:31,413
Speaker 2: some people said it made them feel a little bit carstick,

8
00:00:31,453 --> 00:00:33,533
Speaker 2: but it certainly didn't achieve the kind of sales that

9
00:00:33,573 --> 00:00:37,693
Speaker 2: some other Apple products have over the years. Anyway, our

10
00:00:37,693 --> 00:00:39,853
Speaker 2: reports out of the US now suggest that Apple is

11
00:00:39,893 --> 00:00:43,413
Speaker 2: giving up on its Vision Pro headsets and turning to

12
00:00:43,573 --> 00:00:46,973
Speaker 2: glasses instead, like wearable glasses, you know, like ray bands

13
00:00:47,093 --> 00:00:50,053
Speaker 2: or something like that. Meta has a pair of wearable

14
00:00:50,053 --> 00:00:52,373
Speaker 2: glasses that have been a little bit more, a little

15
00:00:52,613 --> 00:00:56,013
Speaker 2: more successful than people had expected. Our textbook Paul Steenhouse

16
00:00:56,093 --> 00:00:58,133
Speaker 2: is here with the details of Paul.

17
00:00:58,493 --> 00:01:02,373
Speaker 3: Yeah, Good Morning. It's not a complete reversal, they say

18
00:01:02,413 --> 00:01:04,493
Speaker 3: at the stage, Jack like, they're still going to have

19
00:01:04,573 --> 00:01:07,693
Speaker 3: the Apple Vision Pro for sale, but they're apparently looking

20
00:01:07,733 --> 00:01:10,173
Speaker 3: at doing a big refresh, And now that refresh has

21
00:01:10,213 --> 00:01:13,973
Speaker 3: been shelved because I think that the sales haven't been

22
00:01:14,013 --> 00:01:16,773
Speaker 3: great and I don't know if you remember when it launched,

23
00:01:16,973 --> 00:01:19,613
Speaker 3: there was talk that they actually were trying to build

24
00:01:19,613 --> 00:01:22,733
Speaker 3: the battery into the headset too, but they it was

25
00:01:22,773 --> 00:01:25,173
Speaker 3: getting too heavy from his heads and it was too

26
00:01:25,453 --> 00:01:28,013
Speaker 3: you know, it's a pretty cumbersome device. If you've seen,

27
00:01:28,093 --> 00:01:32,373
Speaker 3: it's almost like ski goggles, right, but like completely fill down,

28
00:01:32,413 --> 00:01:35,213
Speaker 3: Like it's a lot of technology on your face. And

29
00:01:35,253 --> 00:01:36,653
Speaker 3: so they had to revert in that to put a

30
00:01:36,653 --> 00:01:39,293
Speaker 3: battery pack. And people were saying at the time, like, well,

31
00:01:39,413 --> 00:01:41,933
Speaker 3: there's your first fail, Like maybe you weren't ready for this.

32
00:01:43,813 --> 00:01:46,973
Speaker 3: Meta has had a lot of success so far with

33
00:01:47,053 --> 00:01:50,093
Speaker 3: these wearable glasses. I know some people who have bought them.

34
00:01:50,253 --> 00:01:52,773
Speaker 3: I don't have a pair myself, but they enjoy them.

35
00:01:52,853 --> 00:01:54,973
Speaker 3: They enjoyed them when they didn't have a screen, and

36
00:01:55,013 --> 00:01:57,253
Speaker 3: says that having the screen on the glasses is a

37
00:01:57,293 --> 00:02:01,293
Speaker 3: real game changer, and Apple has obviously been paying attention because, Yeah,

38
00:02:01,293 --> 00:02:03,773
Speaker 3: the word is now is that instead of focusing on

39
00:02:03,773 --> 00:02:07,733
Speaker 3: the refresh all the attentions diverting, they're going to start

40
00:02:07,773 --> 00:02:13,773
Speaker 3: looking at yeah, very wearable daily glasses. That basically means

41
00:02:13,773 --> 00:02:16,133
Speaker 3: you'd be able to keep your phone in your pocket

42
00:02:16,933 --> 00:02:19,813
Speaker 3: and be able to get things like siriy in your

43
00:02:19,813 --> 00:02:22,373
Speaker 3: ears or listen to your music, or get directions turn

44
00:02:22,453 --> 00:02:25,853
Speaker 3: by turn wherever you're looking. It's it's probably you know,

45
00:02:25,893 --> 00:02:28,813
Speaker 3: it's like the most futuristic. You know, it feels very futuristic,

46
00:02:28,813 --> 00:02:31,893
Speaker 3: doesn't It feels kind of interesting. But man, the timelines

47
00:02:31,933 --> 00:02:34,813
Speaker 3: they're talking about with this stuff. So Meta has already

48
00:02:34,813 --> 00:02:37,373
Speaker 3: got these out right, they launched the ray bands with

49
00:02:37,413 --> 00:02:41,973
Speaker 3: the screen. Apple's now putting all of their smart people,

50
00:02:42,173 --> 00:02:45,973
Speaker 3: all of their money into you know, now pivoting, and

51
00:02:46,013 --> 00:02:48,213
Speaker 3: they don't think that they will be talking about this,

52
00:02:48,653 --> 00:02:51,853
Speaker 3: like releasing a product with a screen built in until

53
00:02:51,893 --> 00:02:56,933
Speaker 3: twenty twenty eight. Wow, so are you right? Yeah, meat

54
00:02:57,093 --> 00:03:00,133
Speaker 3: is going to have a real clear advantage head start, Yeah,

55
00:03:01,013 --> 00:03:03,973
Speaker 3: massive headstart yeah. Which you know, if Apple hasn't necessarily

56
00:03:04,053 --> 00:03:07,933
Speaker 3: been the worst thing MP three players before the iPod,

57
00:03:08,133 --> 00:03:10,773
Speaker 3: you know, like that would be the argument. But yeah,

58
00:03:10,813 --> 00:03:12,813
Speaker 3: like just these timelines. So they're thinking at the moment,

59
00:03:12,893 --> 00:03:17,213
Speaker 3: the first announcement of these new glasses would expect to

60
00:03:17,213 --> 00:03:19,493
Speaker 3: be next year, but they won't have a screen going

61
00:03:19,533 --> 00:03:23,493
Speaker 3: into like sale in twenty twenty six, but the one

62
00:03:23,493 --> 00:03:26,133
Speaker 3: with a screen twenty twenty seven, going into twenty twenty,

63
00:03:26,613 --> 00:03:28,173
Speaker 3: which is just crazy isn't.

64
00:03:27,933 --> 00:03:30,893
Speaker 2: It so open? AI has just released its new video

65
00:03:31,093 --> 00:03:33,373
Speaker 2: generation model, Sora too.

66
00:03:35,613 --> 00:03:39,373
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's really good, like to the point that,

67
00:03:39,653 --> 00:03:43,053
Speaker 3: you know, I think it has Hollywood a little nervous.

68
00:03:44,333 --> 00:03:47,293
Speaker 3: It's it's very realistic in the sense that they've managed

69
00:03:47,333 --> 00:03:50,293
Speaker 3: to get the AI to understand some of the physics.

70
00:03:50,653 --> 00:03:52,653
Speaker 3: And in one of the example videos that they showed,

71
00:03:52,653 --> 00:03:55,973
Speaker 3: it was someone doing a backflip on a paddle board

72
00:03:56,213 --> 00:04:00,053
Speaker 3: right and failing. So they're standing on the paddle board

73
00:04:00,053 --> 00:04:02,493
Speaker 3: and they're actually wobbling and kind of you know, stabilizing

74
00:04:02,533 --> 00:04:03,573
Speaker 3: like you would expect in.

75
00:04:03,533 --> 00:04:04,173
Speaker 2: The Middle world.

76
00:04:04,413 --> 00:04:07,293
Speaker 3: They do the backflip, which looks real, and when it lands,

77
00:04:07,333 --> 00:04:10,293
Speaker 3: the paddleboard you know, obviously compresses into the water and

78
00:04:10,333 --> 00:04:17,493
Speaker 3: it shakes again. And it was very realistic, worryingly realistic.

79
00:04:18,213 --> 00:04:21,253
Speaker 3: And I've actually launched a new app that is going

80
00:04:21,293 --> 00:04:23,253
Speaker 3: to be the home to all of these kind of

81
00:04:24,253 --> 00:04:29,693
Speaker 3: Sora to artificially generated videos also called SRA. So it

82
00:04:30,013 --> 00:04:34,413
Speaker 3: kind of looks like TikTok jack, but all of it's fake.

83
00:04:34,693 --> 00:04:38,333
Speaker 3: So as you're scrolling through, none of the videos are real,

84
00:04:38,693 --> 00:04:41,333
Speaker 3: none of it happened. It looks like it's possible. Some

85
00:04:41,413 --> 00:04:43,693
Speaker 3: of it looks like it's possible. They also showed videos

86
00:04:43,693 --> 00:04:45,253
Speaker 3: of like a horse riding a horse.

87
00:04:45,333 --> 00:04:46,893
Speaker 2: You know, so not.

88
00:04:46,813 --> 00:04:50,253
Speaker 3: Possible, but you can make things very very realistic. And

89
00:04:50,453 --> 00:04:52,973
Speaker 3: to take it one step further, you can now put

90
00:04:53,013 --> 00:04:59,133
Speaker 3: yourself into these videos. They say that you can't do

91
00:04:59,173 --> 00:05:02,453
Speaker 3: anything X rated with those with yourself. They say you

92
00:05:02,493 --> 00:05:05,453
Speaker 3: can't put someone into the video unless they've given consent.

93
00:05:05,893 --> 00:05:07,893
Speaker 3: So there's like the whole process you go through when

94
00:05:07,893 --> 00:05:10,053
Speaker 3: you're giving your video and creating an avertar. You've got

95
00:05:10,053 --> 00:05:11,733
Speaker 3: to like say the words that appear on the screen

96
00:05:11,773 --> 00:05:14,813
Speaker 3: in this whole thing, and you can't put public figures

97
00:05:14,813 --> 00:05:17,453
Speaker 3: in unless they've also kind of made themselves available on

98
00:05:17,493 --> 00:05:21,093
Speaker 3: the platform too. But a lot of interest. I guess

99
00:05:21,093 --> 00:05:23,173
Speaker 3: what's number one on the air for app store right now?

100
00:05:23,213 --> 00:05:24,733
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm not surprised.

101
00:05:24,893 --> 00:05:27,453
Speaker 3: But it does require you to get an invite code,

102
00:05:27,493 --> 00:05:30,053
Speaker 3: so I haven't got my grubby little fingers on it

103
00:05:30,173 --> 00:05:32,453
Speaker 3: just yet yet, but yet.

104
00:05:32,653 --> 00:05:35,293
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking forward to I've seen some of the examples,

105
00:05:35,333 --> 00:05:38,213
Speaker 2: some of the video examples. They are pretty impressive. Not

106
00:05:38,573 --> 00:05:42,493
Speaker 2: perfect necessarily, but pretty impressive. And you can see it

107
00:05:42,573 --> 00:05:44,053
Speaker 2: six months. Oh yeah, that's it.

108
00:05:44,213 --> 00:05:44,573
Speaker 1: That's it.

109
00:05:44,693 --> 00:05:48,013
Speaker 2: Yeah, just get strong and if people are already losing

110
00:05:48,133 --> 00:05:50,293
Speaker 2: hours a day to TikTok, you can imagine this might

111
00:05:50,373 --> 00:05:52,613
Speaker 2: do something similar. Thanks so much, Paul. That's how. Textbok
