You could blow it up real big. You could walk inside of it. It was an amazing training tool. And they found value, and ROI, in Magic Leap 1. So what we did is we went back and listened to all the enterprise folks who had bought Magic Leap 1 and said, if you could change something on this, what would it be? And we got lots of feedback. Clearly, just the human factors part of it was a big one. The form, the fit, can't bug your nose when it's sitting on your nose for several hours. They wanted it to last for several hours. They wanted the images clearer. They wanted to be able to read the text better. While you could put a screen, you could put a virtual screen in front of your eyes, sitting in your living room. But if you wanted to read what was on the screen, it was a little tougher. The text wasn't as clear. It wasn't as legible. The other thing we did is there had been some complaints that when you were in a really brightly lit area, it's hard to see the digital content at times. And so Magic Leap came up with really a first in the industry dimming effect. So you can darken the background and have both the physical and the digital content pop in front of your eyes. And for surgeons who wanted to use the next generation of Magic Leap, which is certified to take into the operating room, they said really in operating room is where I'd like something like that because they're very noisy and loud and brightly lit. And if they just wanted to zoom in on the knee and put a digital copy of the scan of the knee on top of the patient, they'd really like the rest of the room to kind of fade into the background with maybe the exceptions and the patient's vitals in some comfortable area of your field of view. So we worked on that and the engineers did an awesome job on that and they came up with not only global dimming but also segmented dimming. So you can dim out the whole view or just pieces of your field of view. And that's been a real, real big change. We also have an extended battery that can give you, you know, first of all, standard batteries, about three and a half hours, which is longer than the first one, but extended battery for long surgeries, for instance, can go up to eight hours plus. And so it's just flat legs on your back, simple to use, and you don't have to worry about, you know, hot swapping a battery in the middle of surgery, which would never have been the right answer.

There's quite a big change to go from, you know, use the word pivot because that's a fashionable term. It's going to be a good consumer to enterprise and also go to a, you know, a downscale of expectations and resources. So how did you keep everybody motivated and engaged through this process?
