Core77 CES 2019 Welcome!
Core77 A view of the Transportation section that demonstrates the spectacle that is a CES booth
The Transportation area certainly demonstrates a current grey area in the market; while some car manufacturers are holding onto traditional car forms (like this model here), other autonomous models are beginning to demonstrate entirely new form factors that convey a sense of friendliness rather than aerodynamics.
Core77 Nissan Autonomous Vehicle Concept With LED side dashboard and window projection
Core77 Audi E Foil Hydrofoil surfboard. Body made from carbon fiber with an aluminum engine shaft. Electric motor powers a jet engine. Max speed of 27mph with an 18 mile range.
Core77 Byton M Byte AV dashboard Available in Q3 2019

The cars on display showcased some fascinating new form concepts, modeled in both the big and small details.
Core77 The Mercedes-Benz Vision EQ Silver Arrow Taking a nod from the Batmobile, this car that features just one seat and a one-of-a-kind door (if you can call it that!)—the futuristic car apparently takes a lot of inspiration from the W 125 race car made in 1937.
Mercedes-Benz Vision URBANETIC This autonomous car concept created by Mercedes-Benz is one of many self-driving models presented at this year's convention. It is envisioned as a modular unit that can be used as a taxi service or delivery vehicle.

Core77 Smarter Than Most AV Technology Emerging technologies bled even into the analog parts of CES, including displays like Smarter Than Most's demonstration of an AR software developed in house that shows how much can fit into different bag models.
Core77 Smarter Than Most STM bag display
Core77 Omron Ping pong playing robot
Core77 Omron Ping Pong Robot The ping poing robot was a big focal point of the South Hall
Core77 Hoversurf Display Hoverbike prototype - Monocoque carbon fiber body, with four external rotors. Designed to fly about 15 feet above ground. Max speed 96mph, with flight time of 10-30 minutes.
Core77 SubBlue SubBlue's booth had a very dedicated undersea theme, as demonstrated by their band of mermaids on the CES floor...

Core77 CES 2019 A view of the back half, lower level, of the South Hall at CES 2019, one of four exhibit halls at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The scale of the show is mind boggling. Approximately 180,000 attendees each year.
Core77 CES 2019 Taking a well earned break
Core77 3D Printing at CES A number of 3D printers were once again on display at CES, and each year amaze in terms of how the scale and detail available at affordable price points improves year by year!
Core77 Core77 at CES We had a great time hosting different talks by designers & CEOs at the Design & Source Pavilion, including Filippo Yacob, CEO of Primo Toys who shared a little bit about his newest product Pigzbe, a toy that teaches kids about financial literacy and cryptocurrency.
Core77 Core77 x CES Another speaker, Francois Nguyen of frog, spoke about the current reign of the rectangle in design and his predictions for how design forms will evolve in the future.
Core77 Sensio Air Sensio Air, seen in Eureka Park at CES, not only tracks air quality like many other products on the market, it also can detect and identify different allergens in the air.
Core77 Health is Wealth Sleep and wellness were a big theme at this year's festivities, as demonstrated by products like the Hüpnos tech integrated sleeping mask
Core77 Ovie Smart Food Storage Ovie is a startup focused on helping consumers keep track of food freshness to eliminate as much fridge waste as possible; their tupperware collection includes tags that connect to an app, notifying you when food is suspected to go bad.
Core77 Gaming—perhaps to no one's surprise—was also a huge aspect of this year's show.
Core77 The prevelant gaming theme seems to be the incorporation of VR to create lifelike experiences, whether it be in combat or going on a fantasy quest.
Core77 From the looks of this year's show, VR might also aspire to replace traditional amusement parks and carnivals using lifelike simulations.
Laevo Exoskeletons provide back support for workers who need to do a lot of heavy lifting or tasks that require them to bend over frequently.
Core77 An epic LED display decorates one of the rooms within the convention halls.
This is what we'll be needing to recover from the CES experience.

Another year, another CES for the books. During our time in Las Vegas for the biggest technology trade show of the year, there were laughs, there were naps, but most importantly there were thousands of LED screens to stare at. We went through five days of utter sensory overload so that you didn't have to. Above, feast your eyes on some of our favorite (and most hilarious) finds from CES, including but not limited to facial recognition technology, flexible OLED screens and massage chairs. Not pictured: a blender that also acts as a speaker and phone charger. We thought we'd spare you those details.

Also, be sure to keep up with us on Instagram because over the next few weeks we'll be featuring some of the more video-friendly projects we saw at CES, like this clapping robot and this new way to draw.
