Exploring the Latest Innovations at CES 2013
We're taking a look at five top products that have been unveiled at this year's Consumer Electronics Show. First off, we have the largest smartphone that's ever been launched - the Huawei Ascend Mate. Last year at CES, we saw the first 5-inch smartphones, and this year we're seeing a 6-inch model really pushing the envelope as to how big is too big in smartphone design.
The Lenovo Horizon table PC is another notable product that has been unveiled at CES. This device is basically an all-in-one computer that you can use as a regular computer, but when you lay it flat, it transforms into a giant touch screen on which you can play games. The best part? It's battery operated, making it the perfect companion to take with you anywhere in the home or out to the patio. This product is essentially like a giant tablet screen and has many innovative features.
The Fisher Price Create and Learn case is another interesting product that has been unveiled at CES. This protection case for your iPad is designed specifically for kids who use their parents' devices. What's innovative about this case, however, is its use of cards to help kids learn their letters and numbers. Once the card recognizes the letter or number, there's an app that creates an image that the child can interact with to help them learn. There are also several other games included in this case.
Television was a big story at CES this year, particularly when it comes to Ultra HD sets. One of the most interesting ones we saw was the Samsung 84-inch screen, which features an innovative frame that moves up and down to respond to your location in the room. This technology provides four times the detail of regular high-definition sets that are commonly found in living rooms today. Some of the images displayed on this set were truly stunning, with a size that's hard to believe.
The Samsung 84-inch screen also features an enhancement to their Smart TV platform, which was launched last year. It seems like many manufacturers are starting to create ways to interact with voice and gestures in a more natural way than they did last year. The Smart TV platform now offers improved voice control and gesture recognition, making it easier for users to navigate their content.
In addition to the various consumer electronics products on display at CES, Toyota also unveiled a driverless car that uses advanced technologies to drive itself. While this was not yet ready for mass production, it was an interesting demonstration of how automotive technology is moving towards what's called autonomous driving. Toyota emphasized that they do not see this as a car that allows you to sit back and relax in the backseat - instead, it's technology designed to help you drive more safely and assist with driving tasks.
It's worth noting that this was a research vehicle, but it gave us an exciting glimpse into the future of autonomous driving. As we can see from CES 2013, there are many innovative products being showcased here this year, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in consumer electronics and beyond.
