Computers Technos: In flight to Las Vegas: what to expect at CES 2014

Macitynet also present at the event this year will be more important to the consumer beginning of the year, an event that grows every year the number of exhibitors and products, and involves more and more new worlds in the integration of the digital world, the Internet, smart devices, communication and everyday life. Among innovations announced and surprises at the last moment at the center of the whole universe consumer there is’ only one protagonist: the smartphone.

more than 3,300 exhibitors await us in the coming days from the day of the pre-opening of CES 2014 Las Vegas (late at night between the 5th and 6th of January), and as we write these notes on Delta flight leads us into the night from Detroit to Las Vegas after making a stop in New York, let’s brush up huge amounts of press invitations that have come to us this year to touch closely, in addition to the usual marathon tour of the headquarters of many ‘ event with direct talks with the companies and their managers, the most interesting of which will be discussed in the next week and also in the months to come.

CES 2014

Internet of things or the internet of things
is not a new slogan and indeed, it seems pretty overused, but really explode this year we will see a market of gadgets more or less Useful connected to the web, either directly or through the mediation of a mobile intelligent sensors of all types and for all purposes will be able to tell us of our habits, those of our plants, state of health or personnel of our house. It ‘a huge market which now involved in large multinational companies after the departure of the first pioneering companies (let’s call also startup) with products perhaps funded through the web, so we will see
‘ Nest alongside the brilliant inventor of the iPod or French Netatmo where there is’ the hand of Pascal Cagni former plenipotentiary of the Apple Europe high-level names such as Honeywall with products that promise to introduce major innovations in the management of the house and in particular energy saving.
There will also be interesting to use Bluetooth 4.0 with sensors that thanks to the long battery life and an integrated flow rate increased with decreasing size will widen even further the cooperation with smartphones.
So our house, our office and our lives will be disseminated sensors that may help us to live better or perhaps increase our need to control anxiety.
Obviously, the control will on us through the integration of technologies such as iBeacon that will dialogue (hopefully always with our consent ) with our smartphones and detect preferences and / or behaviors when we visit a store or a workstation equipped.

Moms Technology
And speaking of anxiety and management of the house as you can omit the topic of homemade (or homemade) hi-tech? On this issue there will be ad hoc seminars with emphasis on the need (much the U.S. actually) to have every aspect of life in the house under control: the temperature of the turkey in the oven, or the breath of the children to sleep in their room, or home-social activities such as the network for the exchange of recipes or tips for shopping: do not forget that this is the home of the coupon and there is an exact science that studies the interactions among the best products at discount supermarkets.

Smart House but also in dialogue?
During the event we will show you many solutions to small and large companies, but what you’ll notice is that many of these are part of ecosystems brand, isolated and not dialoguing with each other: the gateway is practically your smartphone or your tablet and to manage the various devices connected you will need to switch from one application to another. At CES 2014 might get an interesting solution to find a common access to this myriad of information and equipment. LG and Samsung have long coordinates of smart appliances on the market, but the result is so far negligible.

Automobilli intelligent, autonomous and iperconnesse
Again, this is not news asssolute but a path that homes automoblilistiche have taken some time, but a few years ago were studied ad hoc solutions with questionable results: those who produce motor vehicles does not have the global expertise to achieve the best voice recognition system, the best help system or assisted the best multimedia interface and can not make individual contacts with record labels to stream music: companies like Audi, Mercedes, Chrysler, Ford have realized that to have excellent results must team up with the best manufacturers of the individual components that contribute to creating a “Smart Car”: and so ‘Audi will announce the interaction with Android, other houses with Apple maybe take advantage of Siri, Translators, music services like Spotify and integrate them into their ecosystem.
We will in any case the expansion of another field, that of driving the car with which assisted or self-propelled vehicles on the ground more and more to resemble drones with more or less warlike intent sail the skies of war theaters or areas to be monitored. L ‘”intelligence” of these machines-robot-drone is exploited for some time even in systems of automatic parking of commercial vehicles, but at CES 2014 we will see a remarkable development of related technologies.

The health and fitness? Controller to wear and handle with Smartphone
The explosion of iHealth (which is actually the brand name of one of the largest companies in the sector) and iFitness is already an established phenomenon, but here we will grow number of companies and products with variants that consolidate the improvement of the low-power sensors and lead to higher-level interaction with smartphones. The wearable computing is still waiting for the fabled Apple’s solution but it is the window to wait and even if commercial offers from brands such as Samsung have not been absolutely nothing exceptional we are waiting to see implementations in the field of Glass by Google: the surprise will come from industry leaders Fitness “traditional” high-end: the Cesena TecnoGym present here at CES with an integrated training machines.

The Great Hi-Tech consumer brands
‘ll find them all at CES 2014: Samsung, LG, Panasonic, Sony … will, as always, Apple will not have a booth but a tide of third-party vendors that will undoubtedly exceed in amount the number of 400, which we counted last year with dedicated products and compatible with iPhone, iPad and Mac as well with
In the past few hours we have provided some anticipation about what’s new big brands: TV giants and OLED/4K with curved screen, 4K TV more accessible as price, new skills for interacting with large screens that we hope are not just window dressing but to change the way we communicate with objects and a large number of new models of tablets and smartphones now established brands such as Lenovo to contend and sales records to computer science more ubiquitous in the segments Samsung tadizionale.

Internet services everywhere … even here in flight!
With all this need to communicate well with their own kind even with their own things, objects and houses the biggest problem is when, because of the distance from the ground during a local flight or intercontinental think of not being able to connect with the web … do not even think about it! At CES will be shown many platforms for dialogue “in flight” as the one we are using right now in flights that take us from New York and then from Detroit to Las Vegas … it’s a blessing, a system to rest assured the family concerned for the snow storms that lash the U.S. at this time or a way to make us work even when we could taste us a good film on the screens of the seat in front of us … judge you.
We are waiting on the next few pages Macitynet days with amenities, photos and movies from CES 2014.
