A category of product that we literally saw everywhere at CS was AR and AI Smart glasses. However, the glasses that really stood out to me were the new Xreal 1s glasses. I like them so much, in fact, that I actually managed to get my own pair of these glasses while I was at the event. Personally, I'm a big Steam Deck gamer and the idea of playing on a massive virtual screen in 3D was just too good to pass up. The extra One S lets you plug into your switch, your Steam Deck, your, your phone, your laptop, pretty much anything. And you get what feels like a 500 inch screen floating right in front of you. And once it's floating in front of you, you can either pin it in place so when you look around it stays in the same spot, or you can actually have it follow you around. So the giant screen is always where you're looking. But the standout feature of this new version, well, it's this real time 3D conversion that takes any 2D content, any game, any video, literally anything, and converts it to 3D on the fly. They weigh just 82 grams and they like regular Wayfarer glasses. These things go for 450 bucks right now, which is actually slightly cheaper than the previous generation of these glasses.
