The Vision Pro is coming. Really soon. Its release date announcement, while not technically made at CES, may as well have been.

But surely the technologists at CES 2024 would be a bit more equipped for what’s about to hit us in the near future, right? Surely, there would be companies at CES who came to the show prepared to challenge Apple — or at least complement its technology. So, I decided I’d walk the show floor and try on every possible…
