## Observations

- CEO Andrew Dai speaks straight to camera in a warm, cinematic studio setup.
- Robotic manipulation interface visualizes 3D spatial reasoning and bounding boxes as an arm packs tools into a cardboard box.
- Basketball shot sequence overlays real-time 3D tracking, trajectory prediction, and code execution data onto real-world footage.
- A hand-drawn car sketch transitions into a blueprint, exploding into neon 3D parts before resolving into a photo-real sports car driving down a street.
- Benchmark evaluation screens compare Glimpse directly against GPT-4o SQL and Gemini 1.5 Flash on fine-grained video event captioning.
- Price metric graphics illustrate Glimpse running at approximately 1/16th the token cost of Astra.
- Interactive UI demo illustrates chain-of-thought visual reasoning decomposing optical dispersion physics step by step.
