The immersive world of extended reality (XR) continues to grow, with CES 2024 expected to unveil new headsets and improved hardware. While Apple will be absent from the event, the release of the Apple Vision Pro, which is speculated to be in February 2024, adds an extra layer of excitement to the XR landscape.

Across various sectors, from healthcare to education, XR technologies are making profound impacts, promising unique innovations that will be on display at CES.
AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) takes center stage at CES 2024, reflecting its pervasive influence across diverse contexts and industries. As every tech company vies for a share of the AI pie, the spotlight is likely to shine on generative AI, with numerous products harnessing the power of gen AI in innovative ways. From enhancing user experiences to streamlining complex processes, the applications of AI are vast and varied, giving a glimpse into a future where intelligent technologies intermingle with our daily lives.
PC Gaming
While console gamers may not find many revelations at CES 2024, the event remains a stronghold for PC gaming.

Beyond hardware, the usual software improvements are anticipated. Undoubtedly, there will be plenty of PC gaming showcases covering laptops, graphics cards, displays, and more.
