CES Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show will begin next week. Although in the past year, from the perspective of the development of electronic technology, there have been no subversive products that affect the personal consumption field, but this year's CES still has some bright spots worth the wait. VR is not fire AR has come The first is that the rapid development of augmented reality AR technology will allow people to see a series of new products. Virtual Reality VR products have gradually faded out of people's lives before they have truly become mainstream. The next killer product will be commercialized in the AR field. Following Apple's launch of ARkit developer software last year, mysterious startup MagicLeap released the first AR head-mounted display device that was built in seven years, all of which paved the way for AR's explosive growth. Through Nintendo's mobile games Pokemon Go and games based on Apple's ARKit, people have realized low-end AR applications, but AR is far more than that. At CES, people will be expected to see more advanced high-end AR equipment. It is noteworthy that Google will participate in CES this time, showing Google's emphasis on the hardware field. Google is expected to release the latest AR technology and demonstrate applications based on ARcore. The chip maker Qualcomm will also carry its proud Phantom 835 development kit, in conjunction with its developers to introduce eye-catching products. Dazzling automatic driving technology In recent years, the CES Consumer Electronics Show has gradually shifted to consumer products such as automobiles. Some netizens joked that CES has become a CES auto show. This is because the electrification of cars has transformed cars from durable goods to fast moving consumer goods. The traditional engine will be subverted, replaced by circuit systems and software systems. There are numerous automotive exhibitors at the CES. In addition to the traditional automakers and auto parts manufacturers, China’s new car creation forces have also begun to exert force, including electric car manufacturers such as Xiaopeng Auto and Beiteng Auto, as well as electric vehicles. Smart mobile startup companies in the industry chain will participate. At the same time, Beiteng Motors has hired a group of auto technicians to build cars from Faraday, and Faraday's future financial chain crisis is still a wake-up call for China's newly emerged electric vehicle manufacturers. It is worth noting that last year's newly appointed CEO of Ford Motor Company, Jim Hackett, will make a keynote speech on "Mobile" and "Future Transportation" on January 9th local time. This is the first time he has appeared in public since his appointment. . Nvidia founder CEO Huang Renxun will also give a keynote speech on January 7th local time. Nvidia's GPU chips have undoubtedly become the hottest product in the field of automated driving. In fact, in the context of the “smart mobilization†trend, the boundaries between technology companies and automotive companies have been broken. Many auto cars have turned into technology companies, and technology companies have also seriously developed technologies such as autopilot for electric vehicles. Therefore, whether it is Ford, General Motors, or Google, Intel, they are through their own advantages, to show tomorrow's traffic technology. Interestingly, during the CES, the shared taxi platform Lyft will collaborate with Delphi's technology company Aptiv to develop autonomous driving technology, and will launch the BMW 5 Series self-driving car in Las Vegas to provide passengers with the CES exhibition. Onsite 20 driving routes to downtown Las Vegas. So if you take a taxi through Lyft from January 9 to January 12 this time, and the route coincides exactly with the route you set, it is very likely that you will get a driverless car. However, Lyft is still equipped with drivers for self-driving cars just in case. But Lyft is not the only chance to experience autonomous driving in Las Vegas this time. The city of Las Vegas will also launch a driverless shuttle bus. The technology will be provided by Boston-based Keolis and French company Navya. The two companies will also provide a fleet of driverless taxis during the show, but hope to experience it. Passengers need to book a seat in advance on Navya's website. High-definition large-screen TV Although car manufacturers have rushed to the limelight in CES in the past two years, as the main force of CES tradition, TV manufacturers will use CES every year to publish the trend of TV. This year's CES, 4K high-definition televisions will become mainstream. Companies including LG and Sony will launch OLED TVs equipped with the latest technology, while Samsung, TCL, Sharp and Panasonic will continue to show their latest models of LCD TVs. In the past year, Samsung has continuously improved its technology and hopes to make LCD TVs similar to OLED TVs in terms of picture quality, thereby reducing production costs. And LG will launch an 88-inch 8K resolution OLED screen large-size TV, which will be the world's largest OLED TV size. Wearable to medical grade march Traditionally wearable products include familiar GPS-enabled smart watches or smart underwear with heart rate monitoring function. But at this year's CES show, smart wearable products will go from "accessories" to legal ones. The leap in "medical grade products". Large smart wearable manufacturers, including Fitbit and Polar, will not appear on the CES booth. They are more inclined to release new products through their own exhibitions. In 2018, the number of exhibitors of wearable products at CES has fallen from 82 in 2017 to 51. Replaced by smaller health products and medical device companies, they seem to be more interested in applications that can wear in the consumer sector. These exhibitors covered areas such as blood pressure monitoring, medical warning devices for the elderly, blood glucose sensors, pregnancy monitoring, and sleep monitoring. Smart home continues to be hot In the past year, the fierce competition among technology giants in the smart home field has been a year in which Amazon and Google have truly opened their respective smart assistants to third parties. Companies such as Amazon, Google, Samsung, Microsoft, and Apple have launched home robot products equipped with smart assistants. People can use voice to control all electronic devices at home, including televisions, lights, refrigerators, door locks, and more. People are expected to see a large number of smart speakers from third parties at this CES. Companies like Sony and JBL are starting to release their own versions of Amazon Echo and Google Home, which are generally of better quality than the sound quality provided by Amazon and Google at the time. Much more. LG has also announced the release of new Google Voice Assistant-supported smart speakers, adding to the competition of many different audio products. This year's CES show will also be Google and Amazon's Assistant to compete on the same stage to prove its adaptability. Does the assistant still work when integrated into other third-party hardware? Wearable manufacturer Garmin recently announced the launch of the Speak car plug-in, which integrates Amazon's Alexa voice assistant. Like the smart home sector, the CES show is also a great opportunity for non-tech companies to test the water. In the past few years, we have seen products such as “Smart Mirror†integrated into apps like Meitu Xiu Xiu and Sephora, giving recommendations for consumer cosmetics and apparel. This year people are expected to see more products related to "beauty".
