CES Preview: The Tech World Prepares to Convene in Vegas for the Annual Trade Show

From Market Watch:

The metaverse holds the most tantalizing possibilities — Meta, Apple, Microsoft and nearly every other tech company all have designs on the market — though it has been fraught with delays because the technology is pricey and the experience difficult to explain.

“If you ask five people about metaverse, you get six definitions,” Todd Richmond, a member of the professional engineers association IEEE, told MarketWatch. “It is a platform for ways to communicate, but what is changing are the on-ramps to it. I was at CES in 2016 and we were talking about it being the breakthrough year for VR [virtual reality]. It wasn’t. Will 2023 be that year? Probably not.”
