AnalystMichael Inouye Principal AnalystKEY TAKEAWAYS FROM CES STANDOUTS FROM THE SHOWCES 2023 had over 3,200 exhibitors representing 173 countries,territories,and regions.Here are the tech innovations that stood out.AUGMENTED&VIRTUAL REALITYEric:The new VIVE XR Elite headset looks impressive and those that did go hands-on seem to agree.It is the latest from HTC,one of the earliest Virtual Reality(VR)Head-Mounted Display(HMD)vendors to see success with the original VIVE and has some key upgrades from previous generations with pancake lenses(lighter,thinner,and clearer),built-in adjustable prescription range for glasses wearers,and a semi-modular build with detachable battery and choice of standalone or tethered operation.The form factor and component improvements are great to see in HMDs where there is a surprising level of maturity in hardware already,despite a small adoption footprint.METAVERSE MARKETS&TECHNOLOGIES Michael:The most promising elements came from the enterprise/industrial markets and immersive interfaces.Well represented were applications for digital twins and simulations,although still lacking the cohesiveness or interoperability of a true metaverse environment.There were advancements made in immersive interfaces within the haptics market(mostly familiar names here like Ultraleap,bHaptics,and HaptX),digital humans(truer to life and natural interactions),full-body tracking,and impressive improvement in VR form factors(e.g.,Panasonics MeganeX and HTCs VIVE XR Elite)and progress in smart glasses,such as Field of View(FOV).Smell as another immersive interface was shown by some companies,although this element seems more gimmicky than commercially viable,at least at this stage.Most of these elements are on point and solid advancements for im-mersive and the broader metaverse.KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM CES STANDOUTS FROM THE SHOWSMART HOME&BUILDINGSJonathan:Samsung,as is tradition,kicked off smart home at the show with its traditional press conference on media day and even released its SmartThings Station,a new hub device type that pulls together Matter integration and smart-phone charging,a new smart home device.The

prom-inently.However,Google in Smart Home in previous years was more focused on automotive,while Amazon showcased third-party products and integrations over its own new offerings.The show floor depicted a deepening and broadening of the smart home space.Increasingly,a smart version of a home product category is an expectation,rather than a novelty.So,discussion has moved to adoption in home infrastructure,such as the electrical system with a new smart fuse panel from Schneider Electric or in plumbing and how water is managed and consumed with smart showers from Moen and Orbital.The smart home may have lost some of its wow factor,but the show made it clear that the investment and,more importantly,the potential for the smart home to underpin a range of valuable services was still evident.SMART MOBILITY&AUTOMOTIVEJames:Driver monitoring is another automotive system that has gone from niche system to mainstream between 2020 and 2023,driven primarily by the General Safety Regulation 2(GSR 2)mandate.Harmans demonstration of the Ready Care system,featuring cognitive load determination,signals how quickly systems are expected to exceed the basic requirements for type approval.As basic GSR 2 com-pliance will be universal across all vehicle segments,premium vehicles will rely on suppliers to deliver differentiating features that leverage the same enabling hardware for the core safety use case.KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM CES MISSED OPPORTUNITIES?CES brings with it lots of expectations,but reality does not always live up to them.Below are some of the technologies that ABI Research expected to see and hear a lot about,but in some cases,proved to be more hype than substance.AUGMENTED&VIRTUAL REALITYEric:I would have liked to see another big tech name with XR hardware,such as Amazon,Google,Samsung,etc.There are two reasons this was unlikely:these companies prefer other shows or their own dedicated shows/announcements for hardware,and any hardware that may be revealed was probably not ready for the show.Google is targeting 2024 for smart glasses,and Apple did not have CES presence to show anything either way.METAVERSE MARKETS&TECHNOLOGIESMichael:It was disappointing that the Consumer Technology Association(CTA),metaverse organizations,and companies with early stakes in the industry did not make a stronger showing to bring cohesion to the metaverse and the buildup to this future.The prevailing misconception of the metaverse continues to place too much emphasis on virtual worlds and VR headsets,rather than the broad-er transition from Two-Dimensional(2D)to Three-Dimensional(3D)interfaces.Speaking of 3D,while CES may not yet be the target show,there was less activity around 3D content generation than I would have expected given the attention the metaverse received in 2022.SMART HOME&BUILDINGSJonathan:It would have been great to see more cohesion,emphasis,and understanding around Matter at the show.While a few stands displayed the Matter logo over a few related products,any fanfare was subdued for such a significant building block for broad smart home adoption.For this timing could be responsible.With the specification only released in October a relatively small number of vendors had devices certified in time.CES in 2023 was a well-organized and as broad an umbrella for a host of new technologies and products as ever.The lower attendance than 2020 is still most likely to stem from the ongoing impact of COVID-19,but until that return happens,the question will remain for some whether the other ways of cooperating and engaging,developed of necessity,over the past few years might yet prove a lasting alternative for many.SMART MOBILITY&AUTOMOTIVEJames:None from an automotive perspective.CES remains the automotive show of the year.KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM CES FINAL THOUGHTSABI analysts share their concluding thoughts on CES 2023.AUGMENTED&VIRTUAL REALITYEric:This year,more than any other,CES 2023 lacked a cohesive focus or message.Headlines tout Metaverse and XR,but in comparison to automotive and smart home,the coverage and floor area devoted to them was small.The timing of the show meant that it missed the hype peak around the metaverse(which is a good thing)and there has not been enough time for metaverse offerings to ma-ture to a state of viability and impact to show at the conference.Theconsumerpart of CES is still merely a suggestion,which has been true for several years,and again lends to that disjointed focus.METAVERSE MARKETS&TECHNOLOGIESMichael:CES 2023 should serve as a reminder of the staying power and value for both in-person and large events.While some past events have come and gone or become shells of their former glory days,any shortcomings stem from changes to market demands and needs,rather than an indictment against large tentpole shows like CES.I have been attending CES on and off since 2007 and it has man-aged to evolve and adapt,seeing trends come and go,but it continues to remain a draw across industries.A smaller show attempting to cover a similarly wide breadth of markets may be too superficial to be valuable,but the size and scale of CES allows it to effectively bring exhibitors and attendees at a scale worthy of multiple independent tradeshows under one umbrella.This confluence of tech-nologies and markets makes CES stand out as an ideal event to follow the buildup to the metaverse,but the metaverse is not quite ready to take center stage.SMART HOME&BUILDINGSJonathan:Smart home has stepped back a little from its time in the CES spot-light as the next big consumer market.Standardization,broad acceptance and awareness,and the ongoing push into commercial and other more professional settings have all moved the market along.Smart home support is increasingly an expectation over a novelty and for those in the market,that means heavy invest-ments to make a splash at CES are more likely to go to either newer markets or technologies,or new services that leverage smart connectivity.KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM CES FINAL THOUGHTSSMART MOBILITY&AUTOMOTIVEJames:At CES 2023,automotive remained front and center,with the industry successfully managing to strike a balance between immediate ambitions and future long-term goals.Perhaps most impressive is the way in which automakers and their suppliers have rapidly repurposed technologies developed to support shared,driverless mobility,and repurposed them to deliver compelling applica-tions in the conventional passenger vehicle market.Driverless platforms,where scalable,are being configured to deliver L2 functions this year and unsupervised highway assistance in the next vehicle generation.Personalized infotainment experiences intended to give shared vehicles a unique and personal feel are being repurposed to deliver a more tailored cockpit in passenger-owned vehicles.Rich multimedia experiences,originally conceived to entertain passengers in driverless robotaxis,are now being positioned as the primary means of keeping drivers of EVs entertained when the vehicle is stationary and charging.CEMENT YOUR CONSUMER TECHNOLOGIES INTELLIGENCEABOUT ABI RESEARCHABI Research is a
