In January every year, there is a trade fair that takes place in Las Vegas where manufacturers from across the world display their latest consumer technology products.
The exhibition is called the Consumer Electronic Show, or CES.
"Good Morning and welcome to CES 2018, the largest tech event, actually the largest business event in the world. This weekend, Las Vegas is preparing to be Whoa! Over the next four days, tens of thousands of the brightest and most innovative minds will gather to connect and do business in order to advance the tech industry," Gary Shapiro of Consumer Technology Association said.
This year, approximately 4,000 companies took part in the event.
Manufacturers of cameras, virtual reality (VR) games, robot and automotive tech, also showcased their new technologies.
"Galaxy experience on CES 2018 is introduced with a whole bunch of different VR experiences. Interactive experiences so you can feel the products in real life from an alpine skiing experience where we are having a competition running. Or someone can walk home with a gear that fits like a pro," Paul Boris of Vuzix Corporation said.
Health-related products were displayed such as monitoring and wearable diagnostic devices, and with these new inventions, the healthcare industry is embracing new technologies to enhance the patient experience.
"We designed and manufactured electronic two sensors. These are skin software sensors that can be used to mark your electrocardiogram, electronic safer-gram, and electronic mark-gram. Basically, all the sensors that are metrics coming from your body, Dr. Pulin Wang of Rotex Inc. said.
The products of "IoT- Internet of Things" with their AI technology which is attracting attention have shown an exhibit whereby the furniture and the system of the entire house are highly interactive and in close contact with life.
The 5G network is used in building a lot of technology. 5G means greater data through capacity, faster speed, and lower latency.
Automatic driving systems and a smart speaker supported "Google assistant" are well-known examples.
"This is a Google assistant enabled smart home speaker, and it's the very first smart home speaker with built-in Z-wave Zigbee Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, it's going to be launched in the marketplace within the first quarter of 2018 and all for the retail price of $149," Avi Rosenthal of Z-Wave Alliance said.
The latest technologies and products presented at "CES" are a glimpse into what the future lives of people around the world will be.
