The first conclusion from the annual report Consumer Product Technology of Las Vegas, which brought together 3.600 manufacturers and 170.000 business visitors from around the world, is that the pace of development is now unimaginable.
Before we even knew about XNUMXD printers that make original objects out of plastic, they acquired the ability to "shape" utility items from metal or even wood. Before we even put on our personal… trainer around the wrist, he shrunk into self-adhesive gauze. The TV we bought last year this year is already considered obsolete.
The second conclusion is that smartphone or tablet gets a central role in our lives. They communicate with myriad gadgets, from the security cameras of our home to the sensors that ensure the good health of our plants, gather data, become our extensions. What it means for privacy, for our concentration index (which is of course affected when we look at a screen every minute) or our lifestyle gets a lot, but too much discussion.

The camera recognizes who comes in at home
The "latest word in technology" in security cameras has a face recognition function and sends a notification to your mobile or tablet about when and who enters (or leaves) the house. It can also record high-definition video, so when you get the "stranger at home" notification, you can... take a look from a distance and your heart will skip a beat: it was just delivery. The specifications are completely adjustable, so that persons can be added or excluded from them alerts, while the data is encrypted and stored on a memory card instead of the vulnerable cloud.

Mercedes Benz F-015 Luxury In motion
The car of the future
Ποιος είπε ότι τα μπροστινά καθίσματα ενός αυτοκινήτου πρέπει να «κοιτάζουν» μπροστά; Στο νέο πρωτότυπο της Mercedes περιστρέφονται κατά 180 μοίρες, ώστε οι τέσσερις επιβάτες να κάθονται αντικριστά στο υπερπολυτελές σαλόνι, που μετατρέπεται σε χώρο εργασίας, επικοινωνίας, ανάπαυσης ή διασκέδασης. Οι εντολές των επιβατών προς το όχημα δίνονται φωνητικά, με νεύματα ή με αγγίγματα στις έξι οθόνες αφής που είναι εγκατεστημένες ολόγυρα, τα εμπόδια παρακάμπτονται αυτόματα, ενώ το στυλ οδήγησης -χαλαρό, δυναμικό, πόλης, ταξιδιού- ρυθμίζεται με ένα χάδι. Ο υβριδικός κινητήρας μπαταριών και κυψελών hydrogenυ προσφέρει αυτονομία 1.100 χιλιομέτρων με μηδέν εκπομπές ρύπων. Περισσότερο από concept car επίδειξης, το F-015 έλαβε άδεια κυκλοφορίας στην πολιτεία της Νεβάδα και εθεάθη στους δρόμους τραβώντας όλα τα βλέμματα με τη «διαστημική» του εμφάνιση.

The camera that flies over your head
Drones of all shapes and sizes were one of the dominant trends at CES, even though two key issues (flight regulations and autonomy) are preventing the market from taking off. One of the most interesting models follows the user from a height and from a distance of up to 300 meters thanks to an invisible "strap" activated by a wristband, films his sporting feats with a common GoPro camera and amazing stability even in winds of 28 knots (thanks in a built-in gyroscope), develops a speed of up to 60 h.a.h. for 10-20 minutes and is very easily adjusted, via a smartphone application, so that it always maintains the desired shooting angle. The first batch (February '15) has sold out, priced at $1.295. > www.airdog.com

Watt Up
It charges our devices from afar
Based on the principle of WiFi routers, the Californian Energy can send energy with radio waves at the same safe frequency 5,7-5,8 GHz via BlueTooth, charging at the same time up to 12 devices (mobile, tablet, cameras, mice, etc.). ) of power up to 10 watts, in 5 meter radius. Its simple software allows you to centrally control the charges so that the devices are not "constantly bombarded" by energy: e.g. you can set the mobile to be charged when the battery drops to 5%, the tablet to 10% and goes by saying. In addition, if someone installs more than one energy router at home, the charging devices can be automatically connected to one or the other. Although the technology can be improved, manufacturers are hoping to launch it by the end of the year.

Belts
The belly that tightens itself
All kinds of health and fitness indicators are one of the most dynamic branches of technology and it was rather a matter of time before they acquired the form of the most stressful men's accessory: the belt. This one is connected to smart devices and constantly measures the waist circumference, as well as physical activity, ringing a "bell" when it grows and does not fade. Its most striking feature, however, is that it perceives pressure and can automatically narrow or widen when the user is… overeating, as well as when sitting or standing.
