In the first week of 2017, the electronic technology industry welcomed its first large-scale exhibition - CES 2017 International Consumer Electronics Show (January 5-8). As the most cutting-edge annual event in the technology industry, CES has always been the focus of collective attention of global technology giants .

Various manufacturers have tried their best to launch the first lineup, including "Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 835 , Xiaomi MIX full screen, Jia Yueting's first mass-produced electric car FF91 , BMW Audi Toyota's self-driving car ", and a large number of new products are coming, each of which is eye-catching!

So, in this gathering place of the most fashionable and the most advanced technology , what will become the popular style in the technology circle in 2017 ? Let's take a look!

In 2016, many VR headsets emerged on the market, including those from internationally renowned manufacturers such as Sony, Oculus, and HTC. And judging from this year's CES, VR will continue to be popular and even more popular than before!

The 2017 virtual reality technology exhibition was called the largest in history. Before it started, the organizers had expected that more than 70 companies would participate in the exhibition , a 48% increase from 2016 .

In addition to VR giants such as HTC, Sony, Samsung, and Microsoft, some domestic VR leaders are also not to be outdone, striving to break through and show their style. Looking at the exhibition area, the lineup of Chinese brands is unprecedentedly strong, occupying almost half of the market.

This exhibition has more than 200,000 square feet, which is equivalent to 20% of the venue being dedicated to automotive electronic technology.

Participants expressed that they were attracted by the crazy use of auto manufacturers , and the entire venue was decorated like a large international auto show.

Although Tesla did not participate in the exhibition this year, it did not affect the enthusiasm of various automobile manufacturers to participate.

BMW, Volkswagen, Ford, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, and Faraday all showed off their driverless self-driving cars , ushering in the most intensive new product launches in the automotive industry.

On January 3, Jia Yueting released the first mass-produced car of the "global Internet ecological electric vehicle company" - FF91.

At the same time, it claims to have the fastest acceleration in the world, surpassing Tesla . It has become a major hot spot in the Chinese auto industry, attracting countless attention.

At the exhibition, there were more than 80 "wearable device" manufacturers participating, and they could be seen everywhere.

In addition to traditional health monitoring bracelets and smart watches from major brands, corresponding products are also beginning to see some directional explorations.

Some have further integrated with health care and launched "wearable devices for monitoring blood sugar."

But some other styles are more unique, for example, have you heard of the "magic mirror that can make up"?

This electronic mirror allows users to preview various makeup styles before applying them to their face (a benefit for goddesses?).

There are even more outrageous ones, such as this "If you love him/her, carry him/her" backpack. The electronic ink screen on the back can be connected to a mobile phone, so you can put his/her photo on it, and the effect is quite funny.

The "Human-Machine Go" battle in 2016 made the term artificial intelligence popular for more than half a year.

First there was the century showdown between Google Alpha Go and Lee Sedol, then there was the mysterious chess player Master's 60 consecutive victories, and even Luo Zhenyu's New Year's Eve speech included artificial intelligence.

At this year's CES, the word "Smart" was everywhere. It can even be said that artificial intelligence has dominated the entire exhibition. It is the basic part of almost all products!

The highlight of the exhibition is here! ZF, a global auto parts giant, and NVIDIA announced a partnership.

Together, they developed a new artificial intelligence system, ProAI, for self-driving cars and other industrial robotics applications.

The smart home sector also performed well, including the Alexa voice assistant launched by Amazon .

Relying on its strong strength in the smart home market, Amazon has reached cooperation with companies such as Ford, Huawei, and LG to launch a number of digital products integrated with the Alexa voice assistant.

Alexa will serve as the control center of smart homes from now on, and its strength should not be underestimated.

The 2017 CES International Consumer Electronics Show was full of climaxes and surprises.

Considering CES as the beginning of the whole year allows us to see the development direction of the technology industry this year and see many creative ideas.

However, whether a product can capture users and seize the market depends on the actual user experience.
