Organized by the Association of Technology for the US public (CTA), the meeting will open its doors on Wednesday after two days of press conferences where large companies like Samsung or Sony rival the size and quality of the images of their television sets.
“This hall is in the ideal zone. TV sales (ultra high definition) 4K are exploding, “says Stephen Baker, an analyst at NPD Group.
Many of the innovations that are expected to exhibit hall will represent” more of an evolution a revolution, “anticipates Brian Blau, Gartner. Of its users, “many objects of widespread use today that will work with less policy part will see” “but will have greater capacity” of assistance.
Robin Raskin, president of Living in Digital Times, it has many themed areas at CES, he said he expects that “true robotic” no longer conceived as a toy to be oriented towards the conception of devices that respond to problems like aging or “learning things thanks artificial intelligence, both at home and geared to better suit what the user demand. “
The same is expected for drones, whose presence in Las Vegas is expected mass. “By the time the drones are an enthusiast market, but are becoming more useful,” said Raskin.
The analyst also expects that something similar happens with thermostats connected as objects that help reduce the bill electricity or locks that allow the entry of a plumber to fix a leak when no one is home.
“It’s just the beginning. The next step will things start to communicate with each other, “Raskin gets excited.
To make you reach that stage have to” put together the different pieces “by rules or common structures, warn some experts.
In the windows of the CES also expected to abound wearables (watches and clothing accessories connected) “and smarter clothes than last year,” says Peter Blau .
Shortly before the release of the hull Oculus Rift, a subsidiary of the eponymous Facebook, virtual or augmented reality will also occupy an important place in the CES, exceeding the world of video games. Even vacuum cleaners could use these techniques prove as promising display devices LG in Las Vegas.
One of the sectors showing more clearly the potential of technologies to improve the lives of consumers is perhaps the car, observed Stephen Baker.
For the CES industry usually plays the role of platform, shortly before its annual meeting in Detroit.
Hundreds of companies in the sector are present in Las Vegas, while the speeches of leaders of large companies such as General Motors, Ford and Volkswagen are increasing, and the exhibition of prototypes of electric vehicles or autonomous expected.
Vokswagen shared a teaser on YouTube what presented at CES.
“The automotive technologies became a pillar of CES” believes Mark Boyadjis, industry expert at research firm IHS.
“There is simply putting more screens in a vehicle, but to change the way a user interacts “thanks to voice recognition systems, gestures and eye movements, augmented reality or” functionality without driver. “
are now experiments he says. “But in the long term will mean that cars without steering wheel, steering wheel or moving, and that the physical buttons could perhaps disappear,” he says.
The car could even become a service that is shared and leave to be an object purchase.
Last year’s CES had attracted a record number of participants, about 176 thousand. For this edition, which will be open between 6 and 9 January, organizers said they intended to limit the public at that level, while announced new security measures after the recent attacks.
