CES - world exhibition CES: new products and reviews of modern and new devices. What amazed the largest electronics exhibition in Las Vegas Exhibition of new ces TVs

The CES 2017 consumer electronics exhibition, held these days in Las Vegas (USA), pleased with an abundance of announcements. Like , the manufacturers not only focused on the theme of the future, presenting a number of interesting concepts, but also showed a number of finished products that will go on sale this year. Let's see what interesting concepts and devices companies presented at CES 2017.

1.

Over the past few years, the CES exhibition has increasingly attracted car manufacturers, who are trying to show off their most advanced developments there. Therefore, it is not surprising that the startup Faraday Future chose CES 2017 to announce its first production electric car, called the FF 91. The crossover model has a futuristic design, but most importantly, it uses electric motors with a total power of 1050 hp. (783 kW) and a battery pack with a total capacity of 130 kWh. Faraday Future promises that the FF 91 will be able to accelerate to 100 km/h in 2.39 seconds and have a range of 700 km.

Unfortunately, the future of Faraday Future remains unclear; the manufacturer plans to release only 300 FF 91 by 2018. In addition, the main investor of Faraday Future, LeEco, began to have financial problems.

Samsung has left the European laptop market, however, everything indicates that it may soon return to it. At least at CES 2017, Samsung significantly expanded its line of laptops, even introducing the first gaming option. The model is called Notebook Odyssey and will be sold in two display diagonals: 15.6 and 17.3 inches.

The 15-inch model will receive Intel processor Core up to Core i7. The amount of RAM in the maximum configuration will be 32 GB (two slots for 2133 MHz modules). The data storage subsystem is hybrid; there is also room for an SSD with PCI interface Express up to 256 GB, and for HDD up to 1 TB. Responsible for graphics processing NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 with 2/4 GB of memory.

The older 17-inch model differs in the type and volume of RAM – up to 64 GB (four words for 2400 MHz modules) – and storage subsystem – two SSDs with a PCI Express interface up to 256 GB each + HDD up to 1 TB. But here is the information about the video card in the older one Samsung versions No Notebook Odyssey yet.

5.

Today, 4K monitors can hardly be called mass-produced, but Dell decided to go further and showed at the exhibition the UP3218K model with a 32-inch diagonal and a resolution of 7680x4320 pixels. This is a professional level monitor that should also provide maximum brightness at 400 cd/m², contrast ratio – 1300:1, and frame rate – 60 Hz. In addition, it has two DisplayPort 1.3 ports, four USB 3.0 connectors, one of which supports charging mobile devices, as well as an audio jack for connecting external speakers. The cost of the monitor can be no less impressive than its resolution, because it is stated at $5000.

6.

One of the most unusual concepts of CES 2017 is a gaming laptop from Razer, whose display unit folds out into three screens at once. We do not know the detailed characteristics of this model, except that it weighs 5.4 kg. However, Razer Project Valerie looks very futuristic, and with the development of display technologies, especially flexible ones, it is quite possible that in a few years this concept will turn into a finished product.

7.

At CES Intel company announced a modular computer platform Intel Compute Card, which is designed for the development of the Internet of Things. It includes all the elements full-fledged computer: processor, RAM, ROM, wireless and wired connection modules. At the same time, the size is not much larger than the usual one. credit card: 95x55x5 mm. The Intel Compute Card can be used to create connected devices such as refrigerators, information kiosks, security cameras, network gateways, and other Internet of Things devices. When designing the design, designers only need to provide a special slot for the Intel Compute Card.

From year to year, the performance of processors in smartphones is growing at an accelerated pace, and is already beginning to seem unnecessary. Before we could be surprised by the capabilities of the Snapdragon 821 chip, Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 835. This comprehensive system-on-chip contains 8 computing cores based on the Kyro 280 architecture, Adreno 540 GPU, Hexagon 682 digital signal processor, Qualcomm Spectra 180 image processor , as well as an X16 LTE modem. The production unit contains 4 cores operating at frequencies up to 2.45 GHz. The energy-efficient unit includes 4 cores operating at frequencies up to 1.9 GHz. With all this, the Snapdragon 835 is manufactured according to the standards of the 10-nanometer technological process. It takes up 35% less space compared to existing Snapdragon processor 821 and at the same time provides an increase in energy efficiency by 25%.

9.

Acer showed at the exhibition a 30-inch curved gaming monitor Predator Z301CT, which is the first in its class to receive Tobii eye tracking technology. With its help, you can transfer real actions into the game, for example, more efficiently search for a hiding place or accurately aim your sight at a target. When the gamer's gaze is focused on the edge of the screen, camera angles automatically change, characters and the game environment react as the player looks around. The monitor resolution is 2560x1080 pixels, viewing angles are 178 degrees, the screen refresh rate is 200 Hz, and the response time is 4 ms.

10.

LG Display brought new OLED panels to CES 2017, which not only have 4K resolution and are thin, but can now contain integrated acoustics. This opportunity was realized thanks to the features of OLED technology, which does not require the use of backlighting and therefore allows the creation of more compact displays. Crystal Sound OLED panels come in 55- and 65-inch diagonals. They can be used to create virtually frameless TVs, since there is no longer a need to allocate additional space in the case to accommodate speakers.

CES is the annual consumer electronics show that most people don't miss. At the beginning of each year we have the opportunity to get acquainted with this exhibition taking place in Las Vegas. We, in turn, highlight the most interesting events from this event.

On January 7, two days before the start of CES 2019, Sony will host its own event. It is expected that as part of it, it will present new smartphones 3, Xperia XA3 Plus and Xperia XA3 Ultra, the previous models of which were presented at last year’s exhibition. Externally, the smartphones are unlikely to differ from each other - they will all receive an updated design, but compared to devices from other manufacturers they will look outdated. This assumption can be made from information leaked onto the Internet, which Digital Trends carefully compiled into one post.

Oleg Dovbnya 01/07/2019

The further development of mobile and wearable devices is significantly hampered by the harshness of batteries. To arrange them, a very specific space must be allocated in the device body and this interferes with a more aesthetically pleasing and innovative design. Flexible batteries have been reported before, but they lacked power. The technical solution proposed by Jenax can find application in many categories modern devices, and not just in smartphones and smart watch. Moreover, it is very useful for the era.

Oleg Dovbnya 01/06/2019

Today it is almost definitely clear that new smartphones from CES 2019 will not be shown to the public. But this does not mean that the most famous brands of the past will not show themselves in any way at the upcoming consumer electronics exhibition, the announcements of which largely determine the entire new technological season. It is possible that it is in Las Vegas that the brand, which played one of the main roles in the history of the mobile industry, will again remind itself not only as a vendor inexpensive phones, but will also show impressive innovation.

Oleg Dovbnya 01/06/2019

The BOE company showed a video thanks to which users, perhaps for the first time, will be able to see how the display of a smartphone of the future will bend. Smartphones with foldable touch screens may become one of the brightest trends in the very near future. New devices that can replace and smart phone and tablet, will give the user the long-awaited choice between a large screen and a compact phone form factor. And the user himself will determine in what capacity it is convenient for him to use the device right now.

Mercedes-Benz Vision AVTR electric car

Mercedes-Benz in Las Vegas presented the AVTR concept car, which was inspired by James Cameron's film Avatar. The rear overhang of the electric car is covered with 33 “bionic valves”. Special spherical wheels allow the AVTR to move not only in a straight line, but also sideways or diagonally.

The rechargeable battery provides a range of up to 700 km without recharging. The electric motor power is 470 hp.

The electric car does not have the usual control tools - they are replaced by an illuminated bio-joystick on the central panel.

Sony Vision-S electric car

Sony presented a prototype of the Vision-S electric car in Las Vegas. Its platform and design were developed by the Austrian Magna Steyr. Bosch, Continental, Qualcomm, Nvidia and ZF also participated in the work on it.

The electric car is equipped with 33 sensors (13 more than the Tesla Model S), which do not provide fully autonomous driving, but allow changing lanes and parking.

Ballie Robot Gingerbread Man

South Korean Samsung introduced the Ballie robot, which is designed to help a person in his daily life. Ballie looks like a small ball slightly larger than a tennis ball. He can ride behind his owner, watching him with cameras and making special sounds.

The robot is designed as a fitness assistant. It can be used for home security, task planning, remote control mobile devices. Ballie will be able to play with a dog left at home without an owner, start a robot vacuum cleaner when necessary, change TV channels, and record a video. Samsung promises that Ballie's features will be expanded over time through learning artificial intelligence.

Laptop with flexible Lenovo screen ThinkPad X1 Fold

Chinese Lenovo introduced a laptop with a flexible screen ThinkPad X1 Fold. It is made from a combination of light alloys and carbon fiber and is protected by a leather cover. Its weight is just over 0.9 kg and it can easily transform from small device into a tablet with a 13.3-inch screen.

When you connect your tablet to a Bluetooth keyboard, the device becomes a full-fledged laptop. When folded, one half of the screen can also be used as a numeric keypad. For desktop use, it is possible to connect two displays, install them on a special stand and connect a full-size keyboard and mouse to them.

Sales of the new device, priced at $2,499, will begin in mid-2020.

Virtual sun visor for Bosch cars

The German Bosch has introduced a virtual sun visor for cars. It is a transparent LCD display with smart cameras that analyze the driver's eye position and power sunlight penetrating into the car through the windshield. As a result, areas on the LCD panel through which the sun's rays blind the motorist are darkened.

Bosch assures that this visor improves the driver's visibility compared to a traditional sun visor and thus improves road safety.

Virtual keyboard for mobile devices SelfieType

South Korean Samsung introduced the SelfieType virtual keyboard for mobile devices. It is created on the basis of artificial intelligence - by analyzing the movements of the fingers that the user makes when typing, it turns them into presses on the QWERTY keyboard. SelfieType does not require additional devices to project the keyboard onto the surface: the selfie camera in your smartphone or tablet is sufficient to track hand movements.

For now, SelfieType technology allows you to type text in instant messengers or text editors.

Air taxi prototype S-A1

Uber and Hyundai Motor have unveiled a jointly developed full-scale model of a flying car that can be used as an air taxi. The flying Hyundai will be fully electric and will be able to cover a distance of up to 160 km. It will be able to take off and land vertically, carry four passengers at a time and fly at speeds of up to 320 km/h.

The electric propulsion of four motors makes the S-A1 much quieter than traditional helicopters. This makes it ideal for use in urban environments.

Virtual people Neon

Samsung introduced the Neon project, which allows you to create 3D models artificial people- avatars. They are able to move, talk, express emotions and act as virtual assistants.

Believable digital avatars will be created using scanning real people, but will be able to generate their own facial expressions, movements and gestures. The new technology is expected to be used, among other things, in cinema and television, as guides or personal assistants.

RollBot toilet paper robot

Toilet paper manufacturer Charmin, which has been owned by Procter & Gamble since 1957, presented at the exhibition a self-balancing robot, Rollbot, which responds to a signal from mobile phone can deliver toilet paper to wherever its owner is.

Rollbot was one of the most highly specialized robots at CES 2020, reflecting one of the trends at this year's exhibition: increased attention to how new technologies can help people in their daily lives.

At the same time, the company introduced the SmellSense sensor - it allows the user to remotely assess the proportion of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide in the toilet after another person has been there.

Y-Brush Speed Toothbrush

The French company FasTeesH presented an electric toothbrush with an unusual shape, the Y-Brush. The Y-Brush resembles a boxing mouth guard with lots of tiny nylon brushes. Their vibration allows you to brush your teeth in just 10 seconds.

The new toothbrush will cost $125, which is less than a number of conventional electric toothbrushes on the market.

The chair is controlled by a joystick located on one of the armrests. S-Pod sales are scheduled to begin in 2021.

What's on automakers' minds today? What plans do ", " and " companies make for the next five to eight years? At the CES-2017 exhibition, which started in Las Vegas (held from January 5 to January 8, 2017), companies will answer all these questions. International Consumer Electronics Exhibition or "Consumer Electronics Show" (abbreviated as CES) has long ceased to be just a meeting place for IT technology lovers and representatives of manufacturing companies household appliances. Now we need to look at this event literally more broadly, because world-famous automakers and equally well-known suppliers of electronics and peripheral parts for cars have paid attention to it. All of them show and predict how this or that segment will develop in the coming years and what can be expected from technology in the future.

It was no surprise to anyone that at the beginning of this year the Toyota company arrived with its smart concept car Concept-i, which, according to the assurances of the engineers who developed it, is capable of literally communicating with the driver of the future, adapting to the latter’s preferences, folding during operation There is a real friendly relationship with the driver. Well, why not a miracle?

The BMW company went even further by presenting at the exhibition its organizer made in the form of an ordinary window in a house. A screen on which the daily routine will be displayed, as well as routes and tasks for the current day will make the user’s life easier and more convenient. Smart system will be able to transmit information through cloud services to all devices connected in the car, including navigation system BMW cars. New Continental Head-Up displays were also demonstrated for the new model, as well as holographic information display technologies.

Registration IDs for cars, integration of car models into the Internet, creation of complex robotic systems based on cars, all this and much more is gradually becoming a reality these days. And all changes become known primarily through exhibitions like CES. Where are you alone? high tech intertwined with other equally important automotive technologies.

The list of automakers participating in the exhibition also speaks of genuine interest in a new direction of business development. " , "BMW", " , " , " , "Toyota", " and "VW", and with them at the same time such as "Continental", "Bosch", "Google", "Amazon", Microsoft" and also " ZF". You can see a detailed list of all the important new products for 2017 CES, friends, below.

Mercedes demonstrated its corporate CASE strategy at CES. Behind the mysterious four-letter abbreviation lies one of the main vectors of development of engineering from Stuttgart: Connected, Autonomous, Shared & Service and Electric Drive. In Russian it sounds something like the concept of connected to worldwide network autonomous electric cars, car sharing services and taxi cars.

The concept called “Fit&Healthy” is a mobile doctor’s office assembled on a base combined with a lounge area. The car is able to simultaneously monitor the health, entertain and relax its owner. Sensors on the steering wheel will measure the driver’s pulse and, if necessary, the seat massage will turn on, and the interior lighting will automatically adjust to the situation, surrounding the people inside with the maximum level of comfort.

Another model at the Mercedes stand, built on the basis of the C 63 model. A package of new technologies allows the car to learn and adapt to the driver’s habits, at the same time taking into account weather conditions, time of day and even day of the week. The goal of the concept is to create a car that is capable of independently going through the learning process for an individual driver in order to make his daily life easier.

The imminent arrival of autonomous cars on the roads of all countries is forcing Nissan to move in this trend direction, thereby developing new autonomous technologies. One of them is “Seamless Autonomous Mobility”, abbreviated as SAM. A self-learning system has been developed.

Next up is Ford. Mass production of self-driving cars is planned to begin by 2021. At CES, Ford presented its new version"Hybrid Autonomous Vehicle Development" models. The car has acquired new hardware components as well as more efficient software and sensors.

Ford and Sygic presented the result of their collaboration. The GPS navigation application from "Sygic" will be installed in all car models of the American manufacturer from 2018. The Sygic app will be the first app to work seamlessly with SYNC systems. Now GPS application from Slovakia are used by more than 150 million citizens in 200 countries. When a connection is established this application will broadcast maps from a smartphone to the screen of the car’s infotainment system.

The proprietary system developed by Hyundai-Blue Link will now be controlled using voice commands through devices that have been integrated into the Home smart home system. It is enough to give, for example, the command in the apartment: "Ok Google, tell Blue Link to start my Santa Fe and set the temperature to 23 degrees" and the machine will obediently execute this command.

TomTom develops very accurate maps, which are necessary for teaching cars to drive autonomously, because this requires knowing every millimeter of the path. The TomTom company has already entered into cooperation on the development of drones with Volkswagen, with PSA Group, with " and ".

Magna International and Innoviz Technologies continue to fruitfully collaborate in the field of creating autonomous driving systems and functions. The result of the collaboration is their lidar technology, sensors that allow the vehicle’s surroundings to be determined with the highest accuracy.

AR glasses HoloLens from Microsoft, a virtual reality rarely is it so realistic.

ZF, working in close cooperation with ", has shown its new development designed to improve the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and moped drivers, all thanks to the intelligent X2Safe algorithm. Thanks to the constant communication of smartphones with the cloud, with the Smartwatch and with the car, this proactive warning function will be able to predict a possible accident in advance.

Both drivers themselves and other road users will be notified of the danger. For example, a pedestrian begins to cross the road at a red light, and a motorist driving along the road will immediately receive a warning about the danger at the pedestrian crossing, and the violator himself will also be notified of an approaching car.

ZF and NVidia will present their joint artificial intelligence system ZF ProAI, which is designed for autonomous cars, trucks and industrial applications.

Optimization of fleet management, car sharing; all information will now be displayed on the map, from its location to unplanned downtime of cars.

Bosch has prepared the interior of the future for drivers and passengers. You can read more about it here: CES 2017, Futuristic car interior concept from Bosch.

Mobileye and Delphi Automotive also showed their technology for fully autonomous driving at CES. Both companies have combined most of the sensors and technologies known today using their software, V unified system. 2019 will be the debut year for their development.

"NeuV" is a miniature car concept from Honda. Unlike many other similar concepts presented at the 2017 CES, it is interesting precisely because it can directly earn money for the owner. Yes, yes, that’s right, we were not mistaken. The idea is quite simple and at the same time interesting. According to statistics, 96% of the time personal cars are idle. It was at this time, according to Honda, that their cars would be equipped new technology, will have to transport other people within global system car sharing. The money will go to the owner, and the random passenger will have the opportunity to get to their destination.

CES 2017 has already closed, but we will be discussing the new products of this exhibition for a long time. There is a suspicion that right up to the next CES. Well, or at least until February, when MWC 2017 opens in Barcelona. And in order for you (and you and me too) to have something to discuss, we tried to collect in one material all the new products from CES 2017. That is, everything. Naturally, nothing worked out for us, since thousands of gadgets were shown in Las Vegas, but we are not ashamed of our work. Because we really have collected a lot of different useful and interesting things, as well as useless ones, but still interesting.

TVs

Let's start with LG, which presented really thin TVs.

Signature 4K OLED W-Series TVs (65 and 77 inches) are no more than 2.57 mm thick. This means that visually they practically do not protrude above the surface of the wall. Among other features, we note the ability to work with HDR content of almost all current standards and a separate unit with an audio system located outside the TV. This is not surprising: placing speakers, connectors and other hardware in such a thin model would be problematic.

LG Signature 4K OLED W-Series TV

For less wealthy guys, LG has a line of Super UHD LCD TVs in store, including the SJ9500, SJ8500 and SJ8000 models with LCD displays based on Nano Cell technology. HDR support is also promised, this is the television trend of 2017. It is known that the thickness of the 55-inch SJ9500 model at its thinnest point does not exceed 6.9 mm.

LG TVs of the Super UHD LCD TV family

LG also showed a prototype of a 55-inch transparent TV. Why this is needed - God knows. This model is probably suitable for the role of a movie prop, where they like to shoot various transparent things under the guise of future interior items. Although in the future, we would venture to guess, we will not use transparent TVs. How they stopped using transparent laptops, phones and players - all this was shown to us more than once, and some models were even mass-produced.

Family Sony Bravia OLED includes models with OLED screens and audio system,using the display surface to reproduce sound. Sony says that they were the first in the world to implement this, although LG at CES 2017 also demonstrated a TV (albeit a prototype) with such a feature. A total of three models were shown - 55, 65 and 77 inches, all supporting 4K resolution.

New 4K TV from the Sony Bravia OLED family

For less demanding buyers, Sony offers the Bravia XE94 and XE93 models with LCD screens and not so impressive design. They are known to work under Android control TV with possibility voice control. (By the way, Sony today is one of the few apologists for Android TV: LG TVs use webOS, and Samsung models- Tizen platform.)

At the same time, Google announced that Huawei is working on VR glasses compatible with Daydream.

Huawei VR glasses compatible with Daydream

The exhibition featured VR glasses from Lenovo, HP, Acer and Dell, supporting the Windows Holographic platform from Microsoft. These are still raw prototypes, so you can’t say much about them.
