Consumer electronics trends

Hi tech toys help cultivate future innovators

"At this year's consumer electronics show, the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center is covered by autopilot, but you can feel that the whole industry is turning to the topic of transport. There is still a lot of interest in autopilot technology, but this year I've found that many autopilot companies offer simpler services, such as transporting goods rather than carrying people. These companies seem to realize that they have a lot of unfinished business to do. This is where Z ü mi (a programmable toy car) is useful because we can use tensorflow and open CV to teach contemporary students how to navigate the future of automated transportation. " - Hansol Hong, founder and CEO of robolink

"We are beginning to see new uses for UAVs in education. Every child loves flying gadgets, and if they can also be useful programming tools, it must be a very interesting way for children to learn. We hope to build a palm sized UAV, and can program the LED lights, turn the propeller, hover automatically and set waypoints. Kids can learn a lot from a fully open source platform, and that's what we plan to build. " - Vernon kerswell, founder of extreme fliers

New vitality of old equipment

One of the most interesting things at this year's consumer electronics show is to use modern technology to bring old equipment back to life. Polaroid presents a new line of instant imaging cameras. Kodak and Fuji also set up real-time imaging camera stands, and Diana's Square Polaroid camera even appeared at KickStarter's post conference Party. There's also a lot of music equipment on display here. Despite the number of loudspeakers and high-quality sound systems, brands such as Victrola are showing off new types of gramophones with a classic look but with Bluetooth connectivity.

"At CES 2019, for the first time in years, I revisited my favorite computer games of my childhood. Retro bit's super retro trio plus comes with three box slots that allow users to play games like nes, SNES and Sega Genesis on the new 4K TV. As a result, while the adoption of smart home assistants and 8K TVs seems obvious, the most exciting product to be launched this year may be the use of new technologies to rejuvenate nostalgia. " - Richard Coleman, marketing director, minut

We will try to improve technical fatigue

"I noticed that the most popular KickStarter project last year was probably anti technology. From IRL glasses' screen screening Sunglasses inspired by the movie extreme space, to Mui's elegant wooden display boards to help people reduce the time they spend on the screen at home, our community users prefer designs that separate us from electronic products. Last year, we saw many cases of technology companies deliberately encroaching on our attention. In the coming year, I expect more products to help us get rid of Internet addiction. I'm very happy to see Mui win the Innovation Award at the consumer electronics show 2019, and I can't help but book a no screen, no sound umay meditation device to help relieve eye fatigue. " - Kathryn Thayer, design and technical editor of KickStarter

Interaction is more humanized

"As a new trend in the consumer electronics show, I am very impressed that many companies design hardware devices in more creative ways and encourage human interaction instead of using devices to distract users. I like the way brand companies rethink cameras, albums and mapping apps, which they design as blocking devices to prevent distracting users from focusing on community activities. I was inspired by all the creative products that give the physical world a more natural interaction with the digital world, from Kodak's new ar enhanced film to oppix's wearable wireless camera. To make GPS orientation more intuitive, ontracks and Velco have made various improvements to wearable devices and modified bicycle handles. " - majenta strongheart, designer of supplyframe designLAB

"Consuming hardware is like the black diamond of a start-up, so I'm always very happy to see that entrepreneurs can achieve that, they can inspire. I think it's a clear trend to further integrate software and provide a comprehensive product experience. My favorite trial product this year is Razer's new headset, which is powered by lofelt and woojer haptic vest's real-time tactile feedback technology. " - Florian simmendinger, co-founder and CEO of soundbrenner

Intelligent degree of smart home improves and reduces user's command input

"In real smart home, large companies such as LG and Samsung are integrating sensors and voice assistants to understand users' actual activities at home and solve problems before users find them. Startups like minut are gradually using sensors (rather than smart assistants) for home control, and can even solve problems before users find them. For example, point's voice alarm, wynd halo's intelligent air purifier. It seems that we will see more truly intelligent home furnishing products in the future, rather than those that need users to revolve around. " - Alex Cox, product manager, wynd software

Technology will become increasingly invisible

"You know what? Arthur C. Clarke once said that any sufficiently advanced technology is like magic. If there is any sign of this consumer electronics show, I think that in 2019, many of our existing technologies will become more advanced
