this top 5 video from ces 2016 is brought to you by massdrop
while i may not wear a fitness wearable we all know i'm not trendy anyway so
that doesn't prevent fitness from being our first trend here at ces 2016. the
fitbit blaze watch improves on their previous fitness watch the surge in a
few ways it's got a color display their
fit star program with three built-in workouts and
animations showing you how to do them it's compatible with over 200 mobile
devices and the battery will last for five days of actual use the sensoria
athlete 2000 is a prototype workout suit that uses sensors to track body
temperature fatigue balance impact force running cadence and more the whole suit
is just a prototype but you can get a bundle that includes a top for men or
sports bra for women a chest sensor and an anklet sensor called the fitness
running system for 400 the under armour gemini 2 with speed
form is a distance tracking shoe it's
not gps based instead using accelerometers for accurate motion
tracking and under armour says this is more accurate than wearing something on
your wrist since the sensor is actually on your foot it transmits data via
bluetooth and can actually store data without a smartphone for five workouts
at a time and push to it later on the
shoes are 130 dollars trend number two
is smart home products and automation
the lyric water freeze and warning detector from honeywell can be put
anywhere where there could be a leak or a pipe freeze on a tub under the pipes
of your house and will warn you with a push notification and email if the
temperature drops below a certain threshold the samsung family hub smart
fridge is actually more than just a tablet stuck to a fridge it's got a huge
21 and a half inch touchscreen and lets you do all kinds of food related things
you can order groceries you can look up recipes and it's got cameras inside so
you can see what food you have while you're out at the store so you don't end
up buying duplicates the somabar robotic bartender is kind of like a keurig for
alcohol it's got three clear compartments that hold alcohol and
mixers with for a total of 750 mils you
tell the machine through the app what's in the compartments and it's got 300
recipes built in or you can create your own you can even add bitters and the
machine will flush itself out between uses so things will taste right it comes
in at a pricey 429 dollars but that's
certainly a lot cheaper than even a few nights out at the bar with friends so it
might be a justifiable purchase it'll be available sometime in quarter two
trend number three is display technology and this one's kind of a broad one but
there's a lot going on and panasonic is showing off transparent displays that
look like part of a living room curio slash display cabinet so it's
essentially a window and a display in one you can also use it as both for
example if you just want it to display weather info or sport scores in one spot
and be able to see through the rest of it speaking of seeing through the rest
of it bmw was showing off a concept
motorbike helmet with an augmented reality heads-up display that sits right
in front of the rider so as not to distract him or her
and panasonic lg and samsung are all starting to incorporate HDR or high
dynamic range technology into their higher end tvs now this doesn't look
like it's just a gimmick like the bad HDR capture in some smartphones and
there is even an industry-wide certification process in order to be
certified what HDR means is they can reproduce more colors and more accurate
colors than most other displays
which leads us to oleds no longer being
only present in smartphones and
televisions no my friends dell's got a desktop monitor and lenovo has a
notebook both of which feature OLED displays that hopefully address the
issue with oleds and burn in on static images something that can be an issue
with things like the taskbar tech trend number four is drones where
we're starting to see drones capable of doing more than just kind of awkwardly
flying around and recording video the ehang 184 can actually carry a freaking
person as long as they're brave enough to get into it the parrot disco ditches
the traditional quadcopter look and instead has wings like an airplane did i
mention it's capable of going 50 miles per hour and the unique typhoon h has an
Intel realsense camera built in so it can avoid colliding with objects without
any user input which brings us to our
final trend car technology cars without
mirrors bmw did this with their i8
concept which was a huge hit at ces it
uses several extremely low latency cameras and a high resolution screen
instead of a rear view mirror with wing quote-unquote mirrors with cameras on
them to give you a real-time look behind and to the sides of the car with much
better viewing angles than traditional mirrors and even glancing over your
shoulder google also looks like they're gonna have some competition in the autonomous
car market with ford showing off a self-driving focus that they hope to
price low enough to be accessible to the masses
NVIDIA also showed off its NVIDIA drive px2 an updated version of the original
drive released last year it's the computer that could control your first
self-driving car it's as powerful as 150
macbook pros or six tight nexus and it's even liquid cooled it also uses
cloud-based deep machine learning to improve volvo has already adopted the
