We are now only a few days after the conference most important technology of the year, the Consumer Electronics Show , more commonly called CES . Hundreds of people are gathering at the Convention Center Las Vegas where, as every year, will take place the event that opens the door to the most important news pertaining to the field of technology.
Many of the ideas presented in previous editions of the ESC are to date already entered the global market, not because they have conquered potential customers, but simply because too advanced to be able to be realized. However, some of these products, such as really virtual , Smart TV High Definition and vehicles self have achieved some success, thanks to the CES.
What we expect this year to attend a lot of interesting innovations, including the which sprout again the TV, flanked by Smart Car, devices wearable and tools VR. But the part Best of CES has always been that we do not expect to see, what it is the real show of this conference. The presentations will begin Wednesday, until then here is what could be the technological innovations of this edition.
Smart Cars
Define ironically CES as “auto show “ has become an annual tradition, but this year, it is not a joke. In fact, the major automakers are planning a number of interesting innovations, which will be the backdrop smaller companies.
General Motors will engaged in presenting Chevy Bolt, the first electric car of American society, which will be characterized by a very cheap price and a range of over 200 miles. At his side the German Volkswagen will try to recover from the terrible end of last year, introducing an electric version of one of the most iconic models of the company, the Microbus.
Then there is Ford that would be engaged in a partnership with Google to make cars autonomous. Finally, BMW occupied on construction of a new control system for the new user interface, AirTouch, could debut with the new model concept i8 Spyder. also Audi should do his usual appearance.
Smart TV
The real stars of each edition of the CES are TVs, but this year do not expect many radical innovations. Presiding over the event there will be plenty of televisions 4K supported by some models 8K, with novel functions such as HDR and Dolby Vision. Samsung is focusing his attentions on Smart TV as a key element of its Smart Home and this could serve as inspiration for many other companies. We expect to see the first Android TV and the first OS Roku TV, with LG committed to implementation of the display OLED for its televisions.
Smart Home
smart homes each year are becoming more and more real. Apple and Google are starting to make order on the various aspects concerning the Smart Home and this year, with their help, we expect to see expanded access to new systems areas of the house. Although we are still far from the realization of a fully intelligent, many companies such as Samsung and Intel are making important progress, so we expect something.
Wearable Devices
The previous year’s CES was quite focused on wearable technology. Just think only the launch of Apple Watch and the Fitbit, as well as integration of numerous tech devices in different clothing. But many of these products still suffer from some technological constraints and practical, so it’s likely that the CES 2016 will be the event that will upset the market wearable for the next year.
What we expect is a lot of smartband next-generation, feature a number of improvements from the design iteration. The sensors will be extended to all sports facilities, including tennis shoes and bras. This year’s theme will be “Hearables” encloses the choice of headphone manufacturers to introduce the sensors within the latter.
Smart Headphones
Although in recent times has significantly increased the level of competition within the music streaming, as it seems almost ridiculous hardware systems with which we listen to music remained essentially the same. The CES 2016 is expected to begin a new era of devices, where companies such as Audio-Technica, Sennheiser and V-Moda are continuing to upgrade their products, expanding options wireless.
The choice of Apple to introduce a connector Lightning Universal could begin the construction of a new generation of iPod, iPhone and iPad. In addition, there are currently some headphones, such as those of Philips and Audeze, that use a digital signal sent to an amplifier to convert the music to ‘ internal headset. This could give rise to a revolution in this area.
Rideables: not only simple hoverboard
Last year was very important for all that is inherent in skateboard, scooter and electric bicycles, thanks to the appearance of more and more specialized companies in the sector, which have contributed to the progress shown to date. This trend is likely to continue even at CES this year, all focused on electric motors.
Arcimoto will present his electric cart with 3 wheels, while Inboard will introduce the music playing inside the wheels of his skateboard. As for the Big Segway that is now owned by Ninebot , supported by Xiaomi is planning a major event scheduled 6 January .
VR: augmented reality
The first half of 2016 should mark a huge step for augmented reality, however, the ESC just falls during a period of stagnation almost embarrassing. So far we know that Sony, Oculus and HTC will begin shipments of new products in virtual reality in the coming months. In addition, there will be interesting news regarding games and movies VR, we will see that during the Full probably Sundance Film Festival or Game Developers Conference.
Said this, there is still room for surprises. The reality increases is now a constant presence at CES, and this year could present important news. Oculus, for example, has not yet announced a release date for its device Rift, it showed the new controls Touch. All this could then materialize during this year’s conference.
Phones, cameras, tablets, notebooks and drones
The ESC is never a great show for the other major categories of consumer electronics, but all these devices we will be in one form or another. Large manufacturers of smartphones, outside of Apple, will seize the opportunity to make important announcements related to the products that will be presented during the year. But what we expect is to receive more news from small businesses such as Alcatel OneTouch, ZTE and Huawei. Same for the camera manufacturers.
Although Microsoft will not be officially present at CES, one of its partners will take the opportunity to introduce some updates regarding portable computers, tablets, monitors and much more. Finally, Qualcomm will present its first drone own official at the conference. Source: TheVerge
