CES 2016, Las Vegas technology trends and the changes ahead – London, Italy

He finished with a great success with many new features and the CES 2016 , the biggest event in the world of consumer electronics sector, held in Vegas from 6 to 9 January 2016. An impressive event, with over 3,800 exhibitors and 20,000 products. In this case it does not apply the saying ‘ what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas ‘ because most of the products present you soon talk and many will buy them as well. So here’s a preview.

To make the masters … drones , which occupied much of the Las Vegas Convention Center and the digital health (technology for the health and well-being ) dominated with a 40% increase in the Sands Expo, the two halls where you held the CES. Highlights include new products for cars, return after some years of absence.

When it comes to drones already seems that we will have to resign ourselves to them as inevitable companions, but with their vaulting lurk some disturbing questions: will be as mobile phones (one or two each)? What about privacy? Who will direct traffic? For posterity and bodies of air traffic control will judge. And who knows for ENAV (National Flight Assistance), the control of the drone does not prove an unexpected source of income with a view to privatization. Among the many companies present Hexo + offers a camcorder to $ 1.349, basically a selfie wheel (not more to ‘ arm length ‘) in perpetual motion, allowing battery.

More varied the world of digital health , a sector that seems particularly stimulating Italian companies. At CES we recorded the presence of consolidated companies and global as Technogym, along with more revolutionary as punching, now of Modena who has just launched a super eBike , like a Tesla to two wheels. The company’s family Cosolini is soon to be quoted on AIM in Milan and is starting distribution in America, particularly in California, fertile land for matching green-tech.

Still in the digital health or iFitness, moves Qardio, a company that focuses on the heart health and produces blood pressure monitors, heart monitors to the next generation and the first balance with innovative features for pregnant women . An American company, based in San Francisco and London, and Italian heart: the founders, Rosario Iannella and Marco Peluso , are Neapolitans, the latter has a background in finance in London and a future that is already in the launch of products that make life easier for patients and enable significant savings in health institutions, insurers and insured thanks to the combination of health and technology.

Much appreciated also the many massage chairs , as to show that it also serves to relax the old economy, of course combined with the new technology.

Even the 3D printing has had a representative tricolor with DWS, innovative company in Vicenza that has adopted slogans such as ‘ printing your dreams ‘ and ‘ Unleashing the inventor in all of us’ , suggesting first 3D printer of high range affordable to the consumer .

Finally, between domestic products more fun coffee machine Ripples this daily ritual that turns into a unique experience, combining 3D printing technology and ink jet (in this case coffee) for transfer any photos on the cappuccino froth : like, coffee was never more personalized.

Revolutionary also the gadget Swash of Whirpool (cost $ 399) that, by inserting a hanger with clothes, allows 10 minutes to wash and iron them using a capsule ( swash pods ) with water and dust. Useful to housewives and single but potentially more profitable for the company itself that could transform its business model making more money with the capsules with white goods , a bit ‘as happened with the machine coffee and waffles.

The future is far away (from the Las Vegas) but already knocking at our door: get ready .
