Yeah, I mean theres a surprising amount going on with new they used to be called wearable computing before those all got kind of set on fire by losing investment firms hundreds of millions of dollars, so nobody wants to call them wearable computing, but they sort of look like the old wearable computing solutions, the difference being that theyre way higher resolution, way lighter weight, much better battery life, and things like that. It seems like just about the time that everybody gave up on them they actually started to become interesting, so weve been seeing a lot of stuff go on in that space that gets us excited. Were trying to get ourthe experiments weve been doing inyou know we did a ton of work on biofeedback, on biometrics, and thatll, you know, from our point of view we were like okay, this is all sort of proven out and were just sort of scratching our heads trying to figure out the best way to get that hardware out to customers without something where wed just say okay, this works. its not a question of whether or not this is going to be useful for customers, whether or not its going to be useful for content developers, you know, its figuring out the best way we can get these into peoples hands.
So were thinking of trying to figure out how to do the equivalent of the [Team Fortress] incremental approach in software design and try to figure out how would you get something similar to that in the hardware space as well. The sort of old method of, you know, lets go make a giant pile of inventory and hope that some set of applications emerge to justify this giant hardware investment doesnt seem to be the very consistent with what weve seen to be the fastest ways to move stuff forward, so were trying to come up with an alternative to that that gives us the ability to iterate more rapidly. That stuff were like this is good, now we just need to figure out how we can start giving these to customers and iterating on the design quickly enough without having to go off and buy ten million of them and then find out we did something mildly stupid and then having to throw them all away and start over.
