Ces 2016, between virtual reality and ultra-defined screens: the most eagerly awaited new show in Las Vegas – The Messenger

Not just smartphones and tablets. The new frontiers of technology today pass for screens ultradefiniti new TV, but also through wearable devices for fitness, drones, virtual reality, robotics and cars. Every area of ​​our life is ready to be permeated and, who knows, modified by the many innovations ready to debut on the market.

As every year since 1967, when it was still held in New York and Las Vegas, the showcase for excellence in our future is the ETUC, which stands for Consumer Electronics Show (this year became only International CES), the largest technology exhibition in the world. As of January 6, for four days, the stands of the Las Vegas Convention Center will alternate presentations of new devices large and small hi-tech companies, from Samsung to Sony, via Netflix and YouTube. Also conspicuously absent in any case not go unnoticed: Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Google.

SAMSUNG

 Among the most anticipated devices it is definitely the Samsung Galaxy S7 . The new high-end smartphone of the Korean house, according to rumors should have, among other innovations, the scanner of the retina instead of the reader for fingerprints. At CES we expect a few announcements in more about, waiting for Apple also reveal soon (perhaps in late February at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona) the changes ahead, including there are rumors of an iPhone “mini”, 4-inch . But the true stars of Las Vegas will especially wearable devices, which will become more and more independent of other devices. The same Samsung, through its department “Creative Lab”, it seems to want to present some completely new, that go far beyond the now common smartwatch. We start from Welt , a smart belt that records vital signs and physical activity just like a bracelet fitness. Another ineressante device is called TIPtalk , and a bracelet that connects the smartwatch and that lets you talk on the phone simply by placing a finger in his ear. An invention very similar to Get, the bracelet presented by Roman Edward Parini at Maker Faire Rome this year.

TV AND VIRTUAL REALITY

 Samsung has also thought of putting together the wearable devices with another technology on the rise, the virtual reality. Will be presented at CES in fact Rink , a new control system for video games. It consists of two bracelets that are connected to a viewer, allowing players to move around and perform actions within a virtual environment. The reality, in short, will be more and more real. Indeed, perhaps soon we will distinguish the virtual because even better than real. The new TV show, which never cease to progress in quality and definition and that will certainly be very present in the stands in Las Vegas. OLED technology, which takes advantage of organic diodes that emit their own light (the result is much better than the classic LED) and that we have already learned to appreciate on curved screens, will be the master. But will be joined by other new devices, not very common, such as K3DX 3D , the company’s technology Chinese KDX that allow you to watch TV or other displays in 3D without the help of glasses.

A solution that could revitalize the sector 3D, gradually abandoned by the big companies like LG, Samsung and Sharp. These were launched in recent years in a headlong rush to high definition, which became “ultra” and soon after “super-ultra”. Who knows what other superlatives can expect alongside the word television, but there are also numbers that can give a good idea. While the 4K (or ultra-HD) is now present in many homes, Sharp has already made a screen 8K. Following that example, at CES 2016 will be LG, who will present the ‘ UH9800 , a giant 98-inch with a resolution of 7680 x 4320 pixels that will presumably be marketed to the middle of the year. The problem, however, remains the same: the source. Record a video to the standards of definition is complicated. Not to mention the services streaming, arriving hardly even ordinary hd. In Las Vegas should still arrive early UltraHD Blu-Ray, for 4K.

AUTO, ROBOT AND AUTOMATION

 Defined or not, the TV may become the “units” with which to manage all devices in the home. Samsung SmartThings is in fact an integrated platform in new tv Korean company and that allow you to interact with lights, blinds, thermostats, refrigerators and washing machines. The other border to watch at CES is the automotive industry, ranging from new concept electric car VolksWagen, Microbus until awaited driverless car Google and Ford, who will have to compete with that he’s working on Apple.
