Despite the absence of several years of big names like Apple, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) held each year in Las Vegas it is still considered a reliable barometer to forecast technology trends will transform our lives in the coming years.
This year is expected to connected devices, drones and smart cars occupy center stage in the biggest trade show of consumer technology in the world that opened today the media, although officially take place from Wednesday to Saturday.
“The CES event is the world’s leading innovation,” said in an interview with Xinhua Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of the Consumer Technology Association (ATC), organizer of the exhibition.
“We have better audio than ever before. The surround and high-definition audio is a new experience. The video, 4K Ultra HD, now It is expanding with HDR (high dynamic range). There are also new categories like cars without drivers, connected cars, drones, robotics, printing three-dimensional (3D) and the Internet of Things “.
CONNECTED DEVICES
Currently, items of daily life such as cars, home security systems and kitchen appliances are increasingly connecting to the Internet and are becoming increasingly “intelligent”, a term commonly known as the Internet of Things.
The research company Gartner predicted that there will be 6,400 million things connected in use worldwide in 2016, representing an increase of 30 percent compared with 2015, and that the market will grow to 20,800 million for 2020 .
The dominant influence of connected devices certainly feel everywhere at CES 2016. “More than 1,000 companies will display products connected,” Shapiro said. This is something so broad that “in the CES no longer have a separate (for these products) area. “
Shapiro believes that products Internet of Things” are solving the problems facing humanity. “
” It tells you things, connects and collects information (data) so that we know what treatment, what they eat, how to be healthier, how to have longer, better and more productive lives, “he said.
So as the Internet of Things is booming, so are the security risks. This year’s CES will host its first forum on cyber security to “examine the dark side of our interconnected world and to explore what companies need to know and do to protect your data, their products and their customers,” said CTA.
But Shapiro he tried to downplay such security risks. “It is a concern of our governments, our businesses and our companies,” he said. “In terms of the products themselves, is not a big concern because since the products are connecting at home, if someone controls the fan or thermostat is not a problem.”
Shapiro noted that concerns about the security cameras or things like that also “are exaggerating”.
DRONES
The drones, or UAVs, are popularized in 2015. At CES last year, it was first created an area for drones in which 16 companies presented their products, about half of whom were Chinese.
CES 2016, a record 27 companies, including renowned brands such as DJI, Yuneec, Hobbico and Squadrone System, will exhibit their technologies drones related to sports, travel, real estate, search and rescue, law enforcement and disaster relief.
“The drones have taken off in the market and now represent a technological fastest growing categories globally and at the CES show floor,” said Shapiro a statement in December.
“This is a technology that is really changing life and create new jobs, improve the lives and transform the way we do business,” he said.
According to the market research of the ATC, drones 400,000 were sold last holiday season and revenue in the US market amounted to about 105 million in 2015, an increase of 52 percent compared to 2014 .
Given the current regulatory environment, the ATC also predicted that the United States will reach one million daily flights of unmanned aircraft over the next 20 years.
The exhibition is also expected better batteries for Longer flight since many of the drones now can only fly for about 20 minutes a limitation for promoting these products.
SMART CAR
Some consumer technology experts say jokingly that the CES is becoming increasingly a car show.
According to the ATC, at least nine major automakers, including Audi, BMW, Ford, GM, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and Volkswagen, and more than 100 companies of automotive technology, will be presented at CES 2016.
The area occupied by these companies grew by 25 percent compared with the sample last year.
“The exhibition is characterized by the latest trends in automotive technology from aid for parking, collision avoidance and emergency braking to the latest driverless vehicles , power and energy efficiency, “ATC said in a statement.
Volkswagen still amid scandal emissions will certainly attract attention. Herbert Diess, president of the passenger car of the German company sector deliver a keynote speech at CES 2016, which will present a new concept electric car.
Audi, BMW and some other companies also They plan to exhibit their new automotive concepts. Moreover, there are reports in the sense that Google and Ford announced during the event a joint venture to build cars that drive themselves. F
