Now, almost everyone has either a way of overlaying images in the real world or immersing you in fantasy ones.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"hawk-nest\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\"\/>\n<p>The driving force behind this is the hardware, and CES 2023 was packed with it.  There was a lot of it on the floor &#8211; so many AR glass companies, unafraid to jump into the risky breach that once gobbled up Google Glass.<\/p>\n<p>But the real leaders are Meta, Magic Leap, and HTC.  While the once-secretive and now newly open Magic Leap was on the show floor at the metaverse space encouraging everyone to whip through a series of enterprise scenarios, Meta and Vive were offering invite-only demos of their latest gear at nearby hotel ballrooms.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.30%;\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" alt=\"Magic Leap 2 front\" class=\" lazy-image-van\" onerror=\"if(this.src &amp;&amp; this.src.indexOf('missing-image.svg') !== -1){return true;};this.parentNode.replaceChild(window.missingImage(),this)\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/vanilla.futurecdn.net\/techradar\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/zUMqsLcRr9vwPyCGbhWETe-320-80.jpg.webp 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/zUMqsLcRr9vwPyCGbhWETe-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/zUMqsLcRr9vwPyCGbhWETe-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/zUMqsLcRr9vwPyCGbhWETe-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/zUMqsLcRr9vwPyCGbhWETe-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/zUMqsLcRr9vwPyCGbhWETe-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/zUMqsLcRr9vwPyCGbhWETe.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/zUMqsLcRr9vwPyCGbhWETe.jpg\"\/><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" alt=\"Magic Leap 2 front\" class=\" lazy-image-van\" onerror=\"if(this.src &amp;&amp; this.src.indexOf('missing-image.svg') !== -1){return true;};this.parentNode.replaceChild(window.missingImage(),this)\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/vanilla.futurecdn.net\/techradar\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/zUMqsLcRr9vwPyCGbhWETe-320-80.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/zUMqsLcRr9vwPyCGbhWETe-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/zUMqsLcRr9vwPyCGbhWETe-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/zUMqsLcRr9vwPyCGbhWETe-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/zUMqsLcRr9vwPyCGbhWETe-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/zUMqsLcRr9vwPyCGbhWETe-1200-80.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/zUMqsLcRr9vwPyCGbhWETe.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/zUMqsLcRr9vwPyCGbhWETe.jpg\"\/><\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I started with a Magic Leap visit where I met company CTO Julie Larson Green, a once-retired Microsoft Windows legend who is helping steer Magic Leap&#8217;s transition from inscrutable and over-promising wunderkind to a practical and purpose-drive AR headset for industry, factories , disaster response, and more.<\/p>\n<p>As we talked inside the packed booth about Magic Leap&#8217;s early promise, Green told me, \u201cThe tech was too early, and the consumer scenarios were not as clear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Enterprise though is a different story.

The original device I tried was VR-only and needed beacons placed around a room to know your position;  the HTC Vive XR Elite is fully self-contained.  It&#8217;s also redesigned to be lighter and support AR as well as VR.<\/p>\n<p>HTC set up a half dozen experiences for me to try, but first I had to get acclimated to the new headgear, which now looks more like goggles attached to a cushiony head ring.  You tighten it on your head with a big knob in the back.  As with the Magic Leap headset, I had to remove my glasses to use it.  There are in the HTC Vive XR Elite little dials around the lenses that let you adjust focus, and you can slide the eyepieces apart or closer together to match your own pupillary distance.  In the display, you see a green grid visual that helps you position the lenses properly.<\/p>\n<p>None of this was hard or took more than a moment.  For further headset support, there&#8217;s a thin rubber band that runs over the top of your head.

During something called Maestro in which I conducted an orchestra, one hand held a remote which I used to grip, tap, and wave a virtual baton.

I was surprised to see that the Vive XR Elite recognized the movement of all five fingers on my free hand.
