Are you sure the TV high definition (HD) you are the most good stuff because it has a very sharp resolution? At the Consumer Electronic Show (CES)-the largest electronics exhibition in the United States that began this week in Las Vegas US-TV vendors will try as hard as possible to convince your HD TV is outdated and you have to make a living or switch to "Ultra HDTV".
This is the latest move of the industry that is battling a shift in consumer spending habits from TV, PC, and devices with a single function, such as a camcorder, to small devices, portable gadgets with multiple functions: smartphones and tablets.
Organisers of CES, the Consumer Electronics Association, expects the delivery to U.S. buyers fell 5 percent last year, not including smartphones and tablets, but the figure rose 6 percent to 207 billion U.S. dollars, if you enter that category.
The trend shows that the International CES (formerly known as the Consumer Electronic Show) lost its position as a "show earlier this year for consumer gadgets that will be purchased in the next 12 months." The event actually started as a place for the TV and stereo industry. Then, the PC started to join the "party" this year.
However, over the past few years, the trend of TV and the PC continues to decline, while the portable gadgets on the rise and CES have not been able to follow this trend. Now CES is not the main place for the launch of mobile phones and tablets, although some models will be introduced at this event opened on January 8, 2013 Las Vegas time.
Author biggest trends in the mobile gadget industry, Apple decided not to join, to avoid all the event was not designed themselves.
Gary Shapiro, CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association, hopes visitors reached 156,000, a figure that is close to the number of visitors last year. This figure is sufficient for the capacity Las Vegas, which has about 150,000 hotel rooms.
These are some of the hot topics at CES 2013:
- TV sharper. Ultra HDTV has a resolution four times higher than HDTV. Although this sounds not required, you may have been exposed to the resolution of this projection because the technology is already in use in digital cinema. Sony, LG, Westinghouse, and others will be present at this event with a large flat screen TV that is able to bring digital cinema experience to the home, provided that you have to spend 20,000 dollars or more.
When all eyes stared this trend, it seems the new TV sets will be a niche product for several years. TV must be really big, more than 60 inches, measured diagonally, to make the extra resolution can really be enjoyed. Furthermore, there is no easy way to get movies in resolution UltraHD.
- The phone is greater. Unlike TVs, new phones are always launched throughout the year, so CES will not be the place for style points. But this year, several reports mention many large smartphone, with a screen larger than 5 inches diagonally, will debut at CES.
This phone will be so great that it is quite awkward to use in the ears, but the Samsung Galaxy Note has been showing it to market. People refer to these devices as "phablet" because it has almost similar to the size of a tablet.
- Acrobatic PC. Microsoft launches Windows 8 in October in an effort to make the PC work like a tablet.
Forced PC manufacturers to boost computer artificial threshold. They have a device with a touch screen that can be rotated or removed from the keyboard. No products are so prominent today, but we can expect there will be some other experiments that appear on this event.
- Attentive Computing. CES has been the venue for several years the technology that makes the user regardless of the keyboard, mouse, and keys. Instead, they rely on cameras and other sophisticated sensors to track and interpret the user's body and eye movements.
Technologi Tobii, a Swedish company, will be at the event to demonstrate "the computer with the world's first gaze interaction". This is basically a camera that tracks the user's view to the screen, and has the potential to replace the mouse.
PointGrab, a startup from Israel, will showcase the software that makes the webcam on a regular laptop to mengenail hand movements.
Assad Gad, Head of Marketing PointGrab, saying that CES is usually filled with speculative technology company interaction. "But this year, you will actually be able to see a real device."
