The best summary he found the journal Popular Science : “For a few days, the Sin City is transformed in the most nerdy Earth . ” Slots and roulette casinos run at a volume less exaggerated; old and new glories of the music, even the most renowned DJs make the bags from clubs and theaters to make room drones, vision for virtual reality , 3D printers, bracelets and sensors of all sizes.
Powers and wonders of Ces , the fair dedicated to technology world number one, which annually attracts 150,000 people to Las Vegas to decline all possible previews Future . An event that grows for exhibitors – will be 3,600, compared with 3,200 in 2015 – and size, year after year: we are at over 222 thousand square meters .
The event officially opens its doors on 6 January and goes on until 9 , although 4 and 5, both dedicated to the previews for the press, are dates with the highest rate of ads. Amazing up to a point : the ETUC, as the whole sector of hi-tech, is crossed by leak driven and involuntary, that allow to reason on the hot topics of the festival long before the “Sin City” wears the mask of “Chip city.”

The circus innovation
Tomorrow is home to Ces: he is remembered every year, but it’s worth repeating. In Las Vegas debuted for the first time icons costume modern technology such as VCR, portable camera, the Commodore 64, the DVD or eBook readers. It also meteors waned prematurely as the 3D in TVs.
Always shields household for excellence will be the stars, after the parade of 2015 (a large summarized here), with focus on 4K, OLED and contamination with the internet of things. Not to mention content , streaming, with the keynote Reed Hastings , a number of Netflix, who will speak at 8:30 in the morning of January 6, now Nevada.

The race car
Last year was Mercedes to steal the show with the first run of its F 015, the prototype of the German car can drive itself alone. This year is expected to reply with the press conference Ford , set for 7:30 in the morning of 5 January. Entries were chased in recent days: it could be made official a partnership with Google to build the car without a steering wheel of Big G. Moreover, as we told you a few weeks ago with an exclusive visit in his art plant, the ‘Blue Oval is among the manufacturers that most believe in marriage between engines and chip .
Also on 5, but at 20:30, the Chelsea Theater Hotel Cosmopolitan ( the same seat of the Mercedes last year, then see the historical claims), will take the stage Herbert Diess , CEO of Volkswagen Passenger Cars. The leak , but also the images published the company’s official Twitter account, suggesting the arrival of an electric vehicle – sites like The Verge link on a small van – that will represent, also, reply green to the scandal exploded in emissions during 2015.
In the same vein clean mobility, I am expected other details about Bolt Chevrolet , an electric crossover designed for a mass audience. One tripped implied the giant Tesla, who wants to democratize this source of energy with a low impact by cutting lists. And that will have to deal with “Future Faraday ‘, a clean and intelligent supercar coming from California: video and anticipates was clicked on YouTube. We’ll see what welcome reserved to the car, once disclosed features and design.
Among the keynote, to be reported also to Mary Barra , CEO of General Motors.

Previews Samsung
intrusions and invasions in the automotive part, the ETUC remains a walkway for all hi-tech giants, Apple excluded, however with this showered with accessories for its gadgets. This year a sweet tooth should get ads from Samsung , which will hold its traditional press conference at the Mandalay Bay Hotel 14 to January 5.
Among the projects that will be unveiled there will be a new generation of wearable, in particular a belt, “Welt” , which will help you keep fit and to hold off expanding waistline. A treat, especially after binges of the holiday season. With the bonus of discretion, because it is much less visible than smartwatch and activity tracker wrist. “Rink” is instead a controller that will add value to the experience of virtual reality: in addition to the oscillations of the head, the hand movements are part of the interaction with new parallel worlds. Finally, here is “TIPtalk” , a new concept of the headset, but concealed in the ear: the Korean adheres well to the trend of “hearable,” evolution “wearable.”
But these gadgets should be only an appetizer dish: Samsung will finally give a sense to the acquisition of SmartThings as well as the smartphone, as he told us a couple of years ago the founder of the company , we command our house from the TV . We’ll light the lights, air conditioner and washing machine, we will check what’s in the fridge or at what point is cooking food in the oven, we’ll look at the children in the other room or the dog in the garden with the remote control. The Korean make that promise real that the bitten apple, with its new Apple TV, not yet been able to maintain.

The answers LG
Aware of the flood of ads that breaks out during the event, LG as usual plays in advance and it has already revealed some news that you can touch in its booth at the fair. Beginning from the vacuum robot that you see in the picture above, with augmented reality series: thanks to the “Home-Joy”, which is activated in the combined smartphone camera, the device can obey our commands in a truly intuitive. Simply touch with your fingers a portion of a room in an image captured on the mobile phone and the HOM-BOT Turbo + will move to the position shown and will clean it. Said in an even more explicit:’re sprawled on the couch, take a photo of the nasty stain three meters ahead, the touch and the vacuum cleaner does the dirty work, even clean it for you.
Special feature Also new Tone Infinim , a wireless headset with dual microphones and noise cancellation of the series, to establish calls in the midst of chaos. Beginning with that of Ces, just to stay on topic. Have a metal body and various ancillary functions, such as the ability to record conversations or important to locate the lost smartphone. “We have presented a sound solution that offers a battery life of more days , a comfortable fit that does not fall on the neck when not in use and, most importantly, a fantastic sound,” says Chung Sue- hyun , vice president of Innovative Personal Devices Business Division at LG Electronics.
Even the Korean offers to its solution for the connected home. It is SmartThinQ Hub , a cylinder that has a screen on the top surface by 3.5 inches. On the surface is the same brand of speakers as Sonos and Bose to play streaming music, but, in addition to being a wireless speaker, does much more: it allows you to control the dishwasher, refrigerator, oven, vacuum cleaner, the air conditioner and all the sensors in the home. If Samsung puts everything via television, a large screen, LG will prefer a smaller , transportable, perfectly able to communicate with your smartphone. Are basically complementary approaches, signals an inevitable trend that will grow better and better from 2016.

Other trends
Among the first press conferences CES, there will be that of Nvidia , set for Jan. 4 at 18, the first day compared with Sony, Panasonic and others. It discusses course of virtual reality , whose imminent invasion of the Santa Clara company is one of the most efficient graphics engines. During the show in Las Vegas will be around 40 the stands dedicated to immersion in another place at your face. 77 percent more on the previous year. With front row Proposals Samsung, HTC and Oculus, ie the main actors of the tendency of the queen in 2016.
In addition to wearable devices for sports and health, to TVs and speakers of all sizes and measures , robots and start-ups, in a storm of wacky gadgets, useful and just as often useless, the festival of Nevada is still the number one showcase to the world 3D printing . Bre Pettis met in 2013, the initiator of the trend; last year wile the food printed; this issue should finally ratify the democratization of the industry , the possible opening to a mass audience. By presenting Carbon3D , the device up to 100 times faster than traditional ones, are able to carry out operations in six and a half minutes that rivals machines complete in intervals ranging from three to eleven hours: for More simply listen to the words of the founder, Joseph DeSimone, who will speak on January 6. Next, there will be new US manufacturers, Chinese and European (above all, the Dutchman Ultimaker , which will unveil two new machines, details of which are still under embargo).
Not that they like other innovations on display under the lights of the Convention Center in Las Vegas and its appendices will be successful. The ETUC is a window , a look on the future, an experiment tomorrow. A mixture of avant-garde and marketing strategies, total gambling and reckless folly. The final verdict, as usual, it is up to consumers. To all of us.
