Omate designs and manufactures wearables. We have created an entire ecosystem of products and services including smartwatches, smart rings and other IoT devices
Thrilled to share my latest interview on Asiabits. youtube.com/watch?v=akaiqz…
From moving to Shenzhen in 2007 (when it had only one metro line!) to launching @omateofficial, pivoting after Apple entered the scene, co-founding @ocleanglobal, and now debuting @OxtakGlobal's AI productivity device.
And that's a wrap on an incredible CES in Las Vegas!
The AI hardware space is exploding right now, and I'm particularly excited about the rise of audio AI.
I'm more worried about the smart glasses space. Meta x Ray-Ban's collaboration has nailed it, delivering a product that's not just technically advanced but genuinely stylish and wearable.
As we boldly stated on @omateofficial booth exactly 10 years ago at CES:
"Technology is what you carry. Fashion is what you wear."
That truth feels even more powerful today when the tech is literally on your face.
It's precisely why we pivoted away from mainstream smartwatches once Apple entered the category with such dominance.
The Meta × Ray-Ban partnership is living proof of this philosophy in action, and it's going to be extremely difficult for competitors to challenge their lead in this space as I shared on our panel.
I still believe privacy remains a major hurdle: people are far more willing to accept audio recording than constant video recording. Today, video capture is largely tolerated only in contexts like police body cams. We're not ready (and may not be for quite some time) to normalize strangers filming us at every turn. That's the reason why I believe Sam Altman x Jony Ive device I/O will be an AI audio device only.
It was a pleasure reconnecting with longtime partners, catching up with old friends, and forging exciting new connections as we introduced oxtak.com@OxtakGlobal
Grateful for the energy, inspiration, and conversations this week. Onward to what's next in wearable AI! 🚀linkedin.com/posts/laurentl…
