Smartphone, tablet, tv in high definition but also smart appliances, cars that drive themselves, robots for home and cell phones that exchange data using light. From January 7 to 10 over 3200 exhibitors from industry giants to the inventions of tiny startups will present their products in an area as large as twelve golf football. Million dollar investments for technologies that does not mean that it will spread. It is not a coincidence that the CES takes place in Las Vegas. Here you bet on everything, even on the future of technology.
curved screens and high definition . We have now. After a few years of running, and the first, expensive, models arrived in stores Italian, 2014 will be the year of the definitive consecration of televisions Ultra HD, or 4K, with a resolution four times higher than those of normal Full HD (3840 x 2160 pixels). All the main houses in Las Vegas will present their latest products, the less expensive models unapproachable until the top of the range with extra-large sizes. Ultra HD LED screens like the LG exaggerated UB9, panel 105-inch (diagonal is about 2.6 meters), with a base that also incorporates stereo speakers and curved screen, which according to LG provides a better visual and tiring less. Korean company will also see the first applications of the WebOS platform on its television: a new operating system, totally web-based, that LG has recently purchased by HP. Samsung also present new curved screens, while the Ultra HD, OLED is LED, will also come from rivals Panasonic, Toshiba, Sony, Philips and by the Chinese as Haier.

Smartphones and tablets. That curved screens are the future you can tell even watching the news of Las Vegas in the smartphone industry. LG will present the G Flex, the first phone with curved screen that Italy will arrive in stores in February. Even Samsung will announce the Galaxy Round model with touch screen OLED “convex” (already made in Korea), for a better use of the images but also for phone calls with better sound quality.

Also many new features in the tablet industry. After yet another record year, which will close according to the research institute Gartner to 197 million units sold (an increase of 69.8% over the previous year), in Las Vegas we will see several new features. Microsoft, who is back at CES, show the Surface Pro 2 and Nokia should also have some news. Samsung will launch the Galaxy Note Pro with 12.2-inch screen and a resolution of 2560×1600 pixels, the better even of the Retina Display iPad. From the Korean company should also get the Galaxy Hit, a smartphone that fits into a larger screen becoming tablet, just like the Asus Padfone. But the most interesting may be the first smartphone in the world Li-Fi is built by a consortium of British-Chinese and leverages Fidelity Light, or the transmission of data through rays of light instead of radio waves from Wi-Fi networks . Works using light emitting diodes and, according to the manufacturers, provides higher speeds and lower power consumption. Internet? And ‘everywhere. The Americans call it the “Internet of Things”, the web comes into everyday objects such as a bracelet, a watch, a dress or a pair of glasses. The most exciting inventions presented at CES in recent years were part of this category, as the fork Hapifork that the sensors are able to calculate the speed at which we eat and through the dedicated app, it gives us the advice to eat better. The 2014 edition of the Consumer Electronics Show is shaping up as the richest of novelty in this area. There are bracelets dedicated to physical activity as the new Lifeband Touch LG, or smart watches to challenge the Samsung Galaxy Gear (and, according to increasingly insistent voices, even a model that Apple is already in the production phase), as the smartwatch the American and Neptune, it is rumored, the new models from Sony and Epson. The French company Archos, a company active in the field of smartphones and tablets, will launch a line of smart watches with very competitive prices, below 100 €. oven? It lights up with a text message . The field of intelligent home appliances this year ended with a turnover of approximately U.S. $ 10 billion, but according to the group GSMA, is expected to break through to 44 billion by 2017. Fast-growing industry in Las Vegas show the muscles. LG, for example, has developed a system that allows you to control all home appliances (refrigerator, washing machine, oven, air conditioning) through messages via telephone. You write a text message to the washing machine “you’re finished?” and she will respond, warning although there is some problem. Roomba and Dyson will present new and increasingly intelligent robot vacuum cleaner can be controlled remotely with a smartphone application and clean home alone, remembering where they are already gone. Google is expected to present a new thermostat based on Android, while Philips will launch the new version of Hue, smart light bulbs that connect to the wi-fi network and light up to sixteen million colors. The CES 2014 will serve as the stage for the invention of small startups, usually the most original and creative. As the Egg Minder, a container for fourteen eggs to put in the refrigerator. He knows the exact date of the expiry of each egg and shows us, through the iPhone app, which is better to cook first. Google vs. Apple, the challenge runs on four wheels . According to Alan Mulally, Ford’s big boss, the next war will be fought on the car industry services, and the integration of these with the web. It is no coincidence, in fact, if Google and Apple look to all four wheels with special interest. The goal is to bring their smartphone operating systems in our cars. In the past months Apple has already closed important deals with groups such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW and others, and right in Las Vegas, Google will announce a version of Android for cars developed together with Audi, already a partner of the house Mountain View. We can download apps, surf the web and access social networks, all while remaining “connected” to our profile, we use the same computer or on mobile. Google and Apple will not be alone. At CES we shall see the latest versions of operating systems for Ford, My Sync, and Chrysler’s Uconnect with the software for some time now also available on some models Fiat. For fans of the show American engines will also be an opportunity to discover the latest news about electric cars and energy-saving: Ford for example will show the concept C-Max Energi Solar, a hybrid version of the small American SUV with solar panels on roof to power the onboard systems with solar energy. Promises to record consumption: about 46 km per liter of petrol in the city. In Las Vegas you will also see the latest prototypes of self-robots, capable of driving sunglasses, developed by giants like Google and Volvo. They have thousands of sensors and cameras, high-definition capable of recognizing even the smallest of obstacles are controlled by highly advanced artificial intelligence, with the goal of one day replace the man driving a vehicle. Initially the highway, where there are fewer variables to consider than the city, but for the future the goal is to create cars that can move by themselves in any condition. Remains to be seen who will take away the points of the license in the event of infringement. come the Steam Machine . At the Consumer Electronics Show there will also be space for gaming. Microsoft will announce some new services related to Xbox One, while the American Valve will raise the curtain on the first Steam Machine, living room PC designed solely for playing games and operating system-based Steam, an online store with over 3000 games and 80 million registered users. If the will see not only with Xbox One, but also with the PlayStation 4.

For fans of DIY 2.0, the 2014 edition of CES will be the first with a space entirely dedicated to 3D printers. There will be many new products, including the latest version of 3Doodler, the pen can draw objects in 3D which is now believed for a long time. In Las Vegas we will see the final model, which is due to the arrival of stores. In short, the car-robot smartphone with curved screen and flexible for a few days in Las Vegas you can bet on the future of technology. Always provided you do not get distracted by some slot machines.
