0:00.0 | Welcome to Breaking History. My name is Sean Morgan. I'm a host of the Sean Morgan Report on Amp News. I'm here with Matthew Erritt, the editor of the Canadian Patriot Review. And Matt, we're talking earlier about the meta showcase where Mark Zuckerberg showcased the latest VR headsets and the gaming and then also these new Rayban |
0:23.2 | glasses that show the augmented reality. |
0:26.8 | What they tried to do with Google Glass a decade ago, now you can just live stream your |
0:31.6 | life 24-7. |
0:33.3 | They're really rolling out this technocracy quite quickly now because Apple's launching their VR headsets for $3,500 in January. |
