This year’s Consumer Electronic Show pulled in an audience of 150,000 attendees to the Las Vegas Convention Center. All sorts of gizmos and gadgets were shown off at the CES, from cell phones to refrigerators. Smart phones can step aside, because the smart glasses of the future have arrived. Competition of Google’s version of smart glasses, The Vuzix M100 smart glasses is a sophisticated system that runs Android operating system 4.0 and allows you view and capture videos, make calls, and to control them through your eye movements. If you’re not sold by the glasses, and want a unique phone with top-of-the-line features, then Samsung’s 000 may be for you. This phone defies the rigid built of normal, everyday phones by becoming a flexible, foldable device.
But Samsung did not stop with their flexible Window’s mobile phone. The South Korean based company unveiled their 110 inch Ultra HD television as a part of the new generation of televisions. This crystal-clear display is nothing to miss, but if you’re willing to buy it, you will have to dish out 40 million Korean won (roughly $38,000).
Tablets dominated the computer world at CES, many featuring Window’s new operating system Windows 8, whose interface is designed to work best with touch screen devices. The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11S combines the best of both worlds: tablets and laptops.
Among the more conventional laptop computers are the Samsung Series 7 Chronos and Sony Vaio T15, both with 15 inch HD touch-capable screens. Sony’s laptop can be purchased for $950.
Among other weird yet noteworthy technology at the CES: a watch that alerts you of calls, texts, and emails; a fork that measures how long it took you to eat your meal, and will vibrate if you eat too fast
