CES, the International Consumer Electronics Show, 2019 is being held from January 8 to 11 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in the United States. This is an exhibition watched closely by technology companies around the world, and many technology giants use it to present themselves. Nearly every year, CES brings products or technologies that change industries. In the past, CES saw the appearance of the VCR, CD, DVR, Xbox and other new products. For anyone who follows technology, CES is an event not to be missed. What new things will this year's CES bring?
CES 2019 has just begun. As the world's largest electronics exhibition, what new products or technologies will it show? There are several industry questions attracting attention, and people are waiting to see how CES will answer them.
1. How will 5G change the prospects of the technology industry?
5G operators have long emphasized the ultra-high speed and low latency of 5G, calling it the key technology that will change industry rules in 2019. But what level of construction can 5G reach in 2019, and what impact will it have on existing industries? These are questions likely to be discussed at CES. At this year's consumer electronics show, 5G chip manufacturers such as Huawei, Qualcomm and Intel are expected to demonstrate their 5G strength. Huawei, under the greatest pressure, may reveal more of its capabilities on this global stage to give more customers confidence in its presence.
2. Is a health technology revolution beginning?
In recent years at CES, health technology products have been on the rise. Analysts say more health products will enter the market at the 2019 show. Life and health has always been one of the areas receiving the most international attention. This year, products such as wearable blood-pressure monitors, smart sleep masks, devices to prevent jet lag and smart watches powered by body heat may be unveiled. A revolution in life and health technology may begin this year.
3. Cybersecurity and privacy: do the giants have a plan, or have they given up?
Last year, Facebook, the world's largest social media giant, faced many scandals, and 2018 was an especially difficult year for the company. Some data suggested that Facebook data leaks affected as many as 500 million people. Internet privacy and cybersecurity will become even more important in 2019, but among existing internet companies there seems to be no more effective way to change the situation. People expect these social media giants to put forward more feasible and secure plans at CES 2019 to address these issues.
4. Can Oculus Quest challenge the current VR industry?
Oculus Quest was released last September. It is an independent wireless VR headset that does not require external sensors, comes with hand controllers and is priced at only USD 400. According to people familiar with the matter, however, Oculus Quest will not appear at CES because it has already become the target that the VR industry needs to catch up with. People are more interested in whether HTC will announce related products at CES to compete with it. Although HTC's VR products are excellent, the industry still says they require connection to a PC and need further development.
5. Will consumers pay attention to 8K televisions?
8K television is called the next-generation television technology. Its resolution is 7,680 by 4,320 pixels, meaning it has four times the detail of 4K television. It appears to be a powerful new technology, but because of the limits of the human eye and the shortage of high-definition content, consumers may not pay much attention when the new technology is launched. For example, 4K televisions have been available for years, but most people still do not enjoy true 4K clarity, largely because of insufficient high-definition resources. Better hardware is not very useful without corresponding film and television resources, and much of today's video market still uses 1080p resolution. However, with the gradual popularization of new-generation 5G network technology, 8K television may receive more consumer attention.
6. How many small miracles are needed for a truly revolutionary innovation?
In the early years of CES, almost every year brought true innovations that could change industries, whether technologies or products. Today, however, CES seems to have become a sales fair where companies use the global spotlight to release their own smaller products. Media commentary has also said that CES is no longer a major stage focused on big product launches, but more of an exhibition and sales venue using global attention. People are more concerned about whether CES can release more revolutionary innovations. Expectations for CES remain high. How many small miracles are needed before CES produces a truly revolutionary innovation, and will one appear in 2019?
