The annual Consumer Electronics Show (or CES 2016) begins next week. What can we expect from CES 2016? Below are some trends that are expected to be presented.
More Personal Wearables
Positional wearables, and especially fitness wearables in 2015, brought the second wave of wearables to the masses. "Wich one SmartWatch I have to get;" is a basic question.
Θα υπάρχουν νέα wearables στην έκθεση CES 2016, αλλά μην περιμένετε πολλά από εταιρείες όπως: Apple, και Google που συνήθως προτιμούν να ανακοινώσουν τα νέα τους προϊόντα μακριά από τη φασαρία της CES.
On the contrary, we look forward to more specialized devices. Perhaps most interesting will be new wearables to address specific health issues that have been largely ignored by big names such as women's health.
Streaming
At CES 2015, one of the biggest trends was the streaming pay-TV service. This year, CES 2016 is expecting even more companies to offer their own version of streaming subscription services, with possible upgrades and 4K or HDR options.
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings is due to hold the opening CES 2016 keynote address, but we do not know if that implies anything.
Virtual reality
VR has been on the horizon for years, but practically most of the enthusiasm came from the community of players. This year, something will change.
With the release of the highly anticipated Oculus in the first quarter of 1, the VR world expects 2016 to be a mainstream year. Let's see…
VR Gear
Accessibility has to prove the catalyst for change. At CES, you can expect to see a range of affordable 360 cameras at affordable prices (like Google from cardboard) and further develop tools to develop rich virtual platforms that make VR more accessible than ever before.
With the growing popularity of 360 degrees, users have already begun to get a taste of virtual reality applications that have nothing to do with games. So at CES 2016 we expect 360 cameras. But let's look at the prices…
More 2-to-1 computers
Ο κόσμος φαίνεται ότι τελικά αγκάλιασε το όραμα της Microsoft για υπολογιστές 2-σε-1. Αν και έχουμε ήδη τέτοιες συσκευές από τις πρώτες ημέρες των Windows 8, τα Windows 10 αναμένεται να φέρουν πολυάριθμες εξελίξεις στο material.
We've already seen Surface imitations from Lenovo and HP, so we should not be surprised to see more companies following suit. Likewise, there will probably be new keyboard covers and more.
The Drones they will become more intelligent
We've seen a lot of 'hover'boards at CES and it seems to be a trend of our time. Of course there is still much to see and wait for. Drones are something we can expect to see some creative upgrades.
An entire section of CES will be dedicated to "unmanned systems", including unmanned aircraft that can assist in any way in photography, search, travel, construction, sports and more. It would be good to wait for smarter drones, which will serve your specific needs.
CES 2016 will also have four thematic sections dedicated to drones, with discussions around the risks, better safety and future opportunities for hobby games.
Affiliated households
Every year we say "this is the year for the Internet of Things", but this time, we believe it will be real. Let's see how consumers will welcome the new devices.
Refrigerators that "write" shopping lists and come with home delivery services, smartphones that become control devices for the whole house and thermostats that "read" the weather reports and regulate the temperature…. let's see.
What we should not expect in the CES report
This year's CES is unlikely to see Google or Apple products. Companies have enough budget to host their own events several times a year. While smartphones and game consoles are definitely part of CES, you will not find any new Android flagship or Xbox.
More news will come from Las Vegas next week.
