Artificial Intelligence and robots as companions
Artificial intelligence is one technology that’s been happening slowly and steadily till in the recent years where we’ve seen big jumps due to which, the trust has been developing on it to provide accuracy. As our lives become more digitized every day, more data is being gathered and then fed into AI activated gadgets and systems, making them learn our behaviors and habits and creating harmonious bonds even with the skeptics of AI. Robotics is another one on the rise and to be expected to amaze in the coming year CES. We’ll see not only some cute looking machines that will be smartly enabled to recognize and help family members but also some adorable pets. With the new improvements, they will be able to portray emotions as well with the help of lights and given facial features.
Health sensors
Internet of Things is gaining headway with amazing speed, and it is the era of everything smarter, from homes to cars to other consumer goods. One among these is the health sensor. From detecting the quality of air inside your home to the one that’s outside, from Nano-tech gadgets to help resolve and find out health issues, health sensors will help improve both quality and quantity of life. Sleep sensors for finding out sleep patterns and discomforts and UV sensors that you can attach to your skin for when you go out in the sun are two such examples.
Amazing LED’s
Yes, they have been there for some time now but imagine the possibilities that the new improvements are bringing. They are getting thinner, micro to be exact, with brilliant colors and resolution as they will have their light and will consume lesser power. Wouldn’t that be intense now? This is one of those steady trends that one should look out for each year at the show.

Most of the VR application has been seen in the gaming and entertainment sectors while at other places, we haven’t started taping upon the great potential of virtual reality. One problem was the big headset which is being dealt with and so with lighter and more comfortable gear, we can expect VR to delve deeper into our lives, social meetups, as well as real like gatherings with family and friends, will become part of VR and not just limited to likes and comments on social media apps.
Smart cities
According to the analysts at CES, the smart city technology is going to help with the transportation facilities greatly in the US. Mobility will increase by smart street signs to lamp posts, which will detect not only the availability of a parking place but will also help with determining the level of snow in winter or rain where flooding can happen. Smartphone users will be well-connected data communicators, and the whole city will become a smart community with systems working efficiently to move towards one goal that is better living.
