CES: Sands Show Floor and ShowStoppers

Estimated reading time: 7 minutes

A good example is the LaunchIt presentations that we described in my last article. (By the way, the LaunchIt winner was Caregiver Smart Solutions—the company that introduced a system that helps monitor loved ones using small, unobtrusive monitors in their home.) Some of the interesting exhibits on display—looking for customers, distributors, and investment capital—included, but were certainly not limited to, an electronic instrument that can change its stripes by simply changing out the front panel; it can go from a guitar to a keyboard in seconds.

There was the nanophotonic crystal display that, when turned off, is just a window, but when turned on, is a full-featured but still transparent glass display.

Another device that was also shown at LaunchIt was the Intelashelf. This charging shelf can be installed just about anywhere, and up to three devices in need of a battery charge can be placed on it.

Today, some higher-end automobiles come equipped with heads-up displays, but now, anyone can add that capability to their vehicle or get a helmet with it incorporated from Zyfra.

Other technologies included a flying car from Aska, robotic pets, self-cleaning and emptying robotic vacuum cleaners, and so much more.

Not all the products and ideas shown in Eureka Park will make it; some are available now, but some are promised later this year, and we probably will not hear of some of them again. Eureka Park is a smorgasbord of much of the more promising upcoming devices, which is great fun to see. I assure you that if you want to see all that is offered there, you could spend half a day exploring that one sector.Page 2 of 3
