Reality Bytes Epi #8 CES Wrap Up, Robots Taking Over, Meta RayBan Displays
About this episode
Eric returns fresh from CES with a full recap of the newest tech, joined by Todd, Skeeva, and guest Jasmine. After some banter about Eric's sickness saga and an obligatory donut appreciation segment, the crew reflects on the Reality Bytes format and a fond farewell to the Q2C Gamer days.
CES is the spine of the episode. Jasmine shares her top picks from the show floor, and the group works through the headliners: the Meta Ray-Ban display glasses and their live translation feature, the sleek Pimax Dream Air, and pricing speculation around the Valve Steam Frame. The recurring "are robots taking over?" thread gets real airtime as humanoid and consumer robotics make a strong showing at the event.
There's also a practical gear segment covering Syntech keyboards, microphones, and capture cables and cards for creators. Between the product talk and the easy chemistry, this one works as a guided tour of where consumer tech was pointed at the start of 2026, with enough opinion and context to separate the genuinely exciting from the hype.
