Refrigerators with screen and camera, car “ultraconnesse” and (soon) autonomous, televisions of all kinds with app “butler”, printers 3D, virtual reality and many drones of all sizes. These are the protagonists of the 2016 International Consumer Electronics Show, the event consumer electronics that opens at this time in Las Vegas and this year as major startups.
Judging from what we saw in day Preview for the press, among the three most notable trend is also health, and fitness, with a range of devices ‘wearable as “ReliefBand” that promises to reduce the nausea of pregnant women risers,’ TempTranq to monitor children with fever and “Omron”, that measures blood pressure at the wrist, as big as one smartwatch. And in this regard, in Las Vegas it is also Blaze, first smartwatch Fitbit, which has so far produced bracelets fitness. Next to health, the house “smart”, another big trend along with cars and drones.
For the Smart Home is a real invasion of gadgets and appliances connected. Many are based on the new system HomeKit of Apple, which already connects lighting systems, thermostats, heaters, curtains and appliances iPhone. Samsung has unveiled its new refrigerator with a touch screen 21.5 inches that allows you to go shopping at the supermarket (for now only in New York) under an agreement with MasterCard. LG has a fridge which automatically opens when a person approaches thanks to a system of sensors. And the system Smarter, with a video camera, which “senses” when the refrigerator is empty. But there are also “Parrot Pot”, the pot-robot that keeps alive the plants, the chair that vibrates to give more realism to video games, the alarm “olfactory”, with odors instead of the ringtone. TVs are there for all tastes and sizes, but next to the expensive OLED and new “monster” 8K, twice the resolution dell’UltraHD, there are the new screens High Dynamic Range (HDR) images that promise even more brilliant and defined, richer colors and blacks “deep”.
There are, however, film and video in this format (at present there are only “The Martian” and a couple of TV series), so it is difficult to judge . It is proposing the problem that accompanied the launch of 4K, which is only now taking hold after years of waiting (Sony launched a streaming system in UltraHD in Las Vegas). As for the computer next to laptop and tablet in Las Vegas is also a new generation of PC gaming, computing power and expensive high performance and monitor with at least 34 inches, as Aplha Maingear and Origin Omni. Acer Aspire laptop 12S is instead a “convertible” with 4K screen, essentially a laptop with a screen that becomes UltraHD detachable tablet. Even if they are “dedicated” to the games, they are certainly interesting the “convertible” Samsung, the Galaxy tablet TabPro S with detachable keyboard and two Notebook 9, all with Windows 10, instead of Android. An “opening” that Koreans replicate in their smartwatch Gear S2, now compatible with the iPhone.
The International CES in Las Vegas is a stage more and more important for the Automotive and cars to autonomous driving (the Korean KIA promises by 2030) dominate the scene along with a number of components, sensors and gadgets, from the mirrors of the BMW-camera, to the new electric vehicles such as the Microbus “battery” of Volkswagen, Chevrolet Bolt GM and Faraday Future. The car of the future, which in part is already here, are also equipped with radar, video sensors and laser (lidar). To high end luxury can already have up to 50 different on-board computer, with software as complex as those of a plane. Many experience the AI to face on the road, “the unexpected”. A particular emphasis is also on security, after the demonstration of hackers last year, with new levels of cyber-sercurity. For cars “connected” (Internet, smartphones, tablets), finally, manufacturers this year also aim at Microsoft, in addition to Android and Apple systems already present. And for the future, BMW and others are already thinking of the car to talk directly to each other, to ‘be felt in danger and exchange traffic information.
