It's 2024 and CES (Consumer Electronics Show) is just around the corner. The event will be held from 9 to 12 January this year, ready to unveil a plethora of new tech. Some are new models of existing products, while others are advances in cutting-edge technology. But what exactly will we see in CES 2024? Here's an overview of the 5 tech trends we expect to see.

If Meta is to make its metaverse dreams a universe, its Meta Quest headsets need to improve more. That could be possible with new chipsets Qualcomm announced recently - the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 and Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1. Here's a quick summary of the two chipsets.

Previously cancelled in 2022, the Mobile World Congress Shanghai (MWC Shanghai) is set to return in 2023. This will also be the 10th time the event will be held at the Shanghai New International Exhibition Center (SNIEC) from 28 to 30 June 2023.

Way back when Minority Report first came out, I’ve been waiting years for someone to come up with a giant holographic desktop I could do work with and finally, it’s here with Spacetop. Featuring a pair of smart glasses paired with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 powered keyboard laptop without a display, Spacetop creates what they claim to be a 100-inch curved Augmented Reality (AR) display for all your apps and work.

With 2023 around the corner, tech companies are preparing for CES 2023 (5-8 January 2023). There would be over 3000 exhibitors at the in-person event this time, with one of them being HTC. Specifically, the company will show off a new AR/VR headset.

In our experience, Augment Reality (AR) was a feature that smartphones tried to ride on a few years ago, but the technology just wasn't there yet or there was a lack of content. However, that could change with Qualcomm's new Snapdragon AR2 Gen 1 Platform for its new AR glasses. 

Apple's first mixed reality (XR) headset could see the light sooner than we thought. According to the latest report, the device would enter mass production in March 2023, with the launch scheduled for April.

When it comes to AR/VR headsets, most people won't get one because of the lack of content. It's why many companies are shifting to developing these headsets to offer utility in our daily lives. For the Apple headset, this could include payment authentication.

Popular global furniture retail company, IKEA has recently upgraded its AI-powered iOS app with an impressive new feature. Called IKEA Kreativ, the app is now further utilising Augmented Reality (AR) by creating a complete 3D replica of your rooms, enabling you to ‘erase’ your furnitures and replace them with with any of IKEA’s offerings that you fancy.

At the recent World Economic Forum 2022 (WEF 2022), Nokia's CEO claimed that 6G could be available as early as 2030 and that it could make smartphones obsolete. That got many people thinking, "What device could take the place of this incredibly useful gadget?" Lundmark says smart glasses could replace them, and I'm inclined to agree.
