    1. I just can't get over how fun it is to play and practice guitar in XR.
    2. We built this Mixed Reality Tiny Golf game in just 30 days... and it ended up winning a dev competition. Should we turn it into a full game?
    3. Bringing guitar to mixed reality made playing much more fun. I spend hours practicing songs, exploring scales, and doing exercises until I have to recharge my headset.
