Is 2024 the year of the hardware startup?

Today is a special day. In case you missed it, we have three (3) hardware startups launching on PH today! We have Starlink Direct to Cell, Rabbit R1, and of course the Sleepmi Z3. Following the release of the Meta glasses and HumaneAI pin late last year I'd say things are looking up for Hardware startups. The "wearable" search trend has been slowly rising over the past couple of years but coupled with AI's explosive growth could we see the intersection of AI and Hardware being the much-needed push the hardware space needs? Will Apple's VR headset release be the tipping point for Hardware tech? What will it take for you to adopt new hardware other than your phone? And what are your thoughts on the recent explosion of hardware startups?
