2013 CES

It was a difficult task to try and navigate 1.9 million square feet of trade show, but we covered most of it. Here are some major observation points.

  • Steadicams, dollys, and many other video products
  • Utilize the powerful computer in your pocket (smartphone)
  • If you wanted to see 10K different iphone cases, you’re in luck!

The new video products show that photographers are breaking into that market. Call it fusion, or multimedia services, it is gaining speed. 4K TVs hit the market, but we won’t be able to consume any 4k media until this summer. As a photographer “projecting” images, this may help your sales process.

Countless products have enhanced their utility, while lowering their cost by utilizing your iPhone mostly. For example:

1. Cobra Radar detection: Sensor gives info to phone, phone alerts other users of cops.
2. Remote controlled anything: Use your iPhone to drive them. They don’t have to create the remote or batteries, etc.


3. iSmart Alarm: sensors send information to your iPhone via wireless network, you know stuff fast because your phone is always on you, they don’t have to employ an entire team to call your phone, so no monthly fees, win/win.
4. Sensus: The created a touch sensitive case, allowing you to do everything you want to do by touching the back of your case. This is really cool technology that don’t really see the application for, but its worth repeating, it is cool. (your finger doesn’t get in the way of your view of the screen.)

5. iXY and Rode: Created a high end mic for your iPhone.

 

6. Double Robotics: Turn your iPod into a walking you! You could attend trade shows from your bedroom.

 

 

7. Optrix: Who needs a GoPro? Optrix protects your iPhone and includes a great chest strap.

 

 

8. Koubachi: wifi plant scensor. Push notification to your phone if your plant is too dry or needs furtilizer.

 

 

 

9. 100’s of health products that utilize your phone monitor your activity, habits, etc.

 

Oh, and here’s a picture of over 200 laptops that make up a tree that interact with tablets on the floor and all interact with each other.
