Auto-related, connected homes, people online and then, domestic robots, flying drones, garments studded with sensors, and giant televisions. The trend in consumer electronics ranging pronounced all in one go. Even otherwise, from last to first. Changes little. The organizers of the Consumer electronics show (CES) to be held in Las Vegas from January 6 to 8 are convinced, however, that 2016 will mark the launch of the market for viewers to virtual reality.

These are the ” toys “more than expected, perhaps the only ones that can stimulate a shock in consumer gadgets increasingly dazed by marketing product innovation. That promises a lot and sometimes keeps very little. In the first half of next year will come from the other the Oculus Rift Facebook and the Lives of HTC. The latter has recently been shifted the market launch of its viewer to April 2016 promising “big news” of which own the CES will showcase the inauguration of an area dedicated exclusively to helmets and software.

What virtual reality then is a good example of how everything in this industry all back when the time is ripe. If postponed the on cyberpunk, digital worlds in three dimensions it disperses from 1960. That gadgets and electronics mass is the product of market forces, technological research and knowledge that sometimes you just incastano. Issues wrong time, bad timing. As in the case of wearable technology.

New this year is that after dredged sports, fitness and health sensors in its advanced forms of bracelets and watches is ready to enter the tissues and in jewelry. It must be said that usually these oddities are born and die in exhibitions electronics. But the low cost of the sensors and the maturity of the software now allows you to experience by offering quality products. A déjà vu is never wait is related to televisions. The trend now is that some of the growth in size, design and product quality.

Although the market has intimidated the challenge seems to be to push the bar even higher with 8k content (twice the format that is set to become standard in the next year). We know for example that in 2020 the Olympic Games in Tokyo will be 8k. And that for now only transmit Infinity and Netflix streaming 4k. We do not know when the rush of technology and consumers will find peace.

The other macro-phenomenon we’re assistant is a concrete translation and chaotic the internet of things applied to the home. Lower prices of sensors, the consolidation of the first standard and the entry of more sofisiticati software can analyze the environment are spurring small and large manufacturers to design systems finally intelligent housekeeping. Finally smart because this year the “conjunction” of astral technology and the market seems propitious. In particular, the most interesting news could be that related to systems such as Echo Amazon. Or Jibo which raised $ 3 million on indiegogo. We speak of personal and social robots. Forget humanoids cartoon Jetson. O automata Japanese created in the image and likeness of man. Personal robots are sensor suite, small cameras that connecting to the Internet can gain intelligence from the cloud. Then for small robots that move autonomously require RFID tags and systems for tracking Wi-Fi yet to be developed. The future of these objects with “personality” able to interact with us, moving in space and steer the house is still nebulous.

The experts of the ETUC is convinced that the little things you can see also this’ year. The big but some years ago are no longer the gadgets. The Committee seems to have become an auto show in miniature. We are all, or almost: Audi, BMW, Chrysler, GM, Ford, Hyundai, Mercedes, Toyota. The alliance between Google and Ford is in the news more waiting while one of the most anticipated keynote is that Volkswagen will present a new concept electric car, the Microbus. Doubled manufacturers of drones, tripled the space for for wearable technologies. Startups are almost 500 this year. The industry is doing well and short tip according to ICC Insights to growth of 64% over the next three years.
