The annual show sees visitors and exhibits from around the world showcasing the latest in the technologically innovated world we live in. That new smart watch you’re wanting that can make you fly was first seen at CES- okay, not really, but you get the picture. You can expect anything from 3D printing to wearables to robots and drones and anything in between.

The Future

CES is the preview of products we hope to expect for the next year. Whether the products actually make it to the market is another question, but hey- they’re still cool to see. We’ve seen some pretty out there ideas at CES 2015. These include Mercedes hydrogen-powered car, a luxurious and roomy take on an ecofriendly car. We’ve also seen WattUP- a router bringing us truly wireless charging capabilities from up to 20 feet away. You can even plant your flower in a pot with a sensor that lets you know if it’s too hot or too cold with the Parrot Flower Power.
