casino. All (by the manufacturers) bet on something and few are ultimately those that go in time with the hands (or the accuracy to which the funds full.
In the case of CES the parallels acquires a special status, since the more flashy show with all the new gadgets is the capital of gambling. Between (so to speak) at the tables of blackjack and roulette, the same monstrous hotels that were built to house the infamous casino, become as every year in early January, the unveiling of devices that will be released within the year and presents the trends that will affect the technology market in general – even that of the car, since the electric drive, and the interface now sets out their evolution.
Ford, Toyota, Chrysler are some of the automakers exhibiting this year in Las Vegas the progress in the field of electric vehicles and distributed (or automated) driving. Of particular interest is the case of the relatively unknown in Europe, Faraday’s Future (would-be competitor of Tesla, but for the time being has presented a commercially available model), which is supported financially by the chinese LeEco. Having attracted the last few years many important executives from other large automakers has managed the last time to steal the spotlight, especially in America. These days at CES, the Faraday’s Future presents the first electric car that will be released in some markets in 2018, in spite of the financial problems seems to be experiencing.
Another area in which it is given, and this year a special emphasis here in Las Vegas is that of a smart house. Automation and remote control of several key functions, mainly via voice commands, is the main axis on which they are moving almost all manufacturers. While bring to the fore the vision to serve us mini-robots, which will take on specific jobs in the house, such as sweeping and mopping or monitoring of the space when we’re not there. Still, I’d planned (say, companies) to learn new and evolving (as a robot).
At the same time, it grows dramatically the volume of smart devices for personal care that promise, what else, than to make better the quality of our lives: From toothbrushes that check if wash properly the teeth of us, and many new, some really original and other overly futuristic fitness accessories, up to teddy bears with points that control the quality of sleep of the younger members of a family.The virtual and augmented reality is also to the fore, after the explosive growth of the market for playback systems (headsets) and high no longer a competition between companies such as Oculus (Facebook), Sony (PlayStation VR), HTC (Valve-Vive), Google (Daydream VR) and Microsoft, with the really innovative its hololens. In the game have been a part of dozens of startups that claim their own space in the field of virtual reality, suggesting that even VR sandals, which carry with accuracy the movements of your feet.
Finally -for those of you who are or purport to be tidy – at CES we see new proposals for “white” appliances, i.e. washing machines, refrigerators and cookers. Household appliances are becoming more intelligent and multifunctional, with the cost dropping to more affordable levels.
