- From VR to AI to gaming,
these are the hottest tech trends
at the Consumer Electronic Show 2020.
Oh yeah, and this is where I do my regular CES annual dance.
CES, woo, yeah, woo!
(bell dinging)
(bright music)
One of my favorite places at CES 2020
is not just the innovation and television.
Yes, there's an 8K TV behind me,
but imagine a TV that adjusts whether you are watching
your content in vertical or horizontal mode.
I know you're thinking,
"Well, why would I watch anything like this?"
Well, if you're watching an Instagram video
or if you're using Facebook Portal,
there's times where your television needs
to adjust where you don't have the bars
on the side of your screen.
Come on over here.
Oh, I'm so excited about this!
Now, these are all televisions that are available
beginning this year,
and you're going to see in a moment
that this television behind me
is not only spectacular in terms of display,
but watch what it does and how it rotates in a moment.
(light music)
Look at this.
Oh, turn for me, baby.
Turn for me, ah.
(light music)
All right, let's move to one
of my favorite augmented reality rooms,
and guys, I apologize if the audio goes
into different levels of quality.
It's just based on me walking around
and the different mics I've been wearing
over the course of the last few days.
If you've ever sat in one of those rides
where there's a movie component or IMAX or anything
where the seats move with you,
all of that is a major trend in the Consumer Electronic Show
for both virtual reality and then augmented reality,
some new graphics package where things move,
and they respond to you, and the days of grabbing
for a control are over.
Now, obviously, when you bring the culmination of AI and VR
and CS and gaming and bass and those subwoofers
that you hear over there behind me,
there's a whole rumble of excitement
at Consumer Electronic Show,
which is very hard to articulate,
and while this might not be something you own anytime soon,
the way you are elevating sound
to bring that into your household
with different components and then on top of that,
for tournament gaming and for a lot
of the more expensive gaming that some of us
are privileged to do at conventions.
This is the be all and end all for many of us, as well.
Now, I've been doing a lot of the autonomous driving
vehicles at the Consumer Electronic Show
where they're taking me from point A to point B,
and while we're not all gonna have autonomous vehicles
in the next few years that replace our regular vehicles,
one of the things they all have inside,
especially the BMWs is, this technology
where if you use your finger,
you can turn the stereo on or adjust the thermostats.
Now, imagine that in vending machine situations,
if you're using an entertainment system,
and what's behind me right now is just that.
Now, this is virtual touch and if you look,
based on where you're standing when the camera,
you can actually select without touching the screen.
Now, I know you're thinking, "Well, that's awesome.
"I don't understand how I'm going to use that."
Well, first of all, you're not touching a screen,
so the cut down of germs is incredible, right?
A lot of germ transfers occur when our fingers
and someone else's fingers and all those germs
happen to appear on screens, but to be able to switch,
it's easy and it's something you can to do on the fly.
It also further prohibits using any type
of device while you're driving.
If you're just going like this and like that,
you're not trying to precisely touch a button.
So this is one of the things
that we will see in play everywhere, and I love this.
Oh, and I should mention, if you watched my
Facebook report the other day,
Travelocity had a big presence
at the Consumer Electronic Show, and a lot
of the virtual reality components you're seeing tie
to travel, real estate, home tours, engineering design.
So, not every time you see this
does it mean it has anything to do with gaming.
And, for those of you that missed my YouTube livecast
on Thursday where I demonstrated the toilet paper robot,
I mean I didn't actually, like, use it on myself,
but this was something that had a lot of people talking.
I think it's one of the most strange, bizarre,
useless gadgets where a robot gets you toilet paper,
and it was strangely positioned near
the electric toothbrush displays this year.
But as we discuss the health tech,
a lot of which was separate at the Sands Expo
versus the Las Vegas Convention Center side of CES,
I was very impressed by smart scales and weighs.
By the way, all these deals are gonna be
on mattdailydeals.com, smaller components
of what you see right now.
If you guys caught me live on Wednesday
when I did the brain massage chair,
that was a very popular product
in the Consumer Electronic Show.
The Digitsole, this is that monitor
neurodegenerative disease from your feet,
and a lot of interesting pieces of tech tied
to health just dominating.
Let's make our way to the vehicles
'cause I really want to focus
on a lot of the enhanced speech recognition,
which was the component of the smart car this year
that a lot of people celebrated.
If you saw my Amazon tour earlier this week,
I show the Amazon Alexa voice service enabled in vehicles
and the smart speech
where you're getting next level control.
Still, not a fully autonomous ride but next level control,
very popular for both commercial, industrial
and enhancements to vehicles you may already have.
If you have any type of enhanced cruise control,
a lot of the devices that now allow cars
to communicate amongst each other,
not too far off in the future from being
something we can purchase as main stream consumers.
And yes, that applied to bikes
and many of the Segway products.
We're going to make our way onto drones in a moment,
but the AI-Pilot and then the LiDAR,
which is the automotive ways that cars communicate
with both the world around them and traffic lights,
just adds a phenomenal focus
of the Consumer Electronic Show this year.
There is no doubt in my mind
that my daughter when she learns to drive
and any other future kids I have
will be doing so on roads
where many of the vehicles are fully autonomous
if not semi-autonomous.
So, yeah, very exciting to see.
When you think of cars at CES, tires and wheels
and companies like Bridgestone might not come to mind,
but that was a little bit of a different visual this year
for bicycles and personal mobility devices
and cars and even planetary exploration.
We'll get to that in a moment,
but a higher level of efficiency tied to your tires
in ways that wheels can move above bumps and road issues
and all sorts of construction,
and the days where a flat tire is no longer anything.
Well, that's, according to Bridgestone,
just a few months away from being a reality.
Now, it's unlikely that these are going to be the wheels
and tires that you see on your vehicle anytime soon,
but they are being mass produced,
and on the vehicles of the future,
which are, by some standards, are 2021,
a flat on the middle of the highway
is no longer gonna be a phenomenon,
and things like moon exploration
are going to be done in different ways
with partnerships between brands like Toyota,
Bridgeport, and look at this car of the future right here.
This is, how cool is this?
Autonomous driving tour vehicles,
again, not those double-decker buses
but things that look precisely what you see right now
on your screen.
Imagine being able to see different parts of the world.
Imagine this being a carpool, right?
I mean we see these options on Lyft and Uber
and other transportation apps,
but imagine something like this picking you up
and then taking you where you need to be.
Ah, so incredible.
Now, I did have a chance to look at some
of the senior transportation
for those living with accessibility issues
or those who are using scooters right now,
and I, to be honest, didn't see a whole lot
of advancement between this year and last year,
but it was again a popular topic.
And this is the interior of one of the cars
not far from the Amazon exhibit
where the Amazon Alexa voice service equipped trucks
and vehicles in ways where,
yeah, look at this right here.
Engine-less battery self-driving vehicles, very popular.
Automated package delivery through services like Amazon.
These are some of the motorcycles and the scooters.
Look at this.
And this is the drone, the drone of all drones,
the largest drone that I've ever seen
at the Consumer Electronic Show.
This was so exciting.
A lot of people watched this, but yeah,
this is perhaps the future of air travel.
Look over here.
Yeah.
They travel fast.
They travel high.
They travel without pilots,
and they are a far cry from many of the drones
that I've tested in the years past
where you're holding a remote control
and it's flying above your head.
This is a completely different era of travel.
Now, before we move to a different area
of the Consumer Electronic Show,
I thought I would just showcase some cool products
and stats with you.
Just the 4,400 exhibitors from across CES
that launch products every year right here in Las Vegas,
too many to mention, but the drones, the sporting products,
the transformative tech announcements
where 20,000 new products at CES are tied to transportation.
Kind of incredible, right?
Look at this.
These are the futuristic pieces of audio
and vehicle tech and VR.
That's another shot of the drone with the Uber partnership.
5G, AI, robotics, smart cities
more of a focus this year than ever.
This is the Samsung display, very cool to see.
These are some of the smart suitcases,
and with a reminder that not every piece of tech
is what you would commonly call tech,
a reminder this year at CES, food was considered tech
with the Impossible plant-based pork products
debuting right here.
I actually had a chance to test and try this,
and it tasted exactly like meat.
And a lot of familiar faces at CES 2020.
Nintendo Switch, a very interesting presence here.
There's no VR.
There's no changes.
This is the same Nintendo Switch which I've given away
on my YouTube channel many times
where the accessories, sort of back to core,
back to basics is a big trend
at the Consumer Electronic Show,
in addition to all of these really,
highly futuristic, advanced gaming systems,
which, of course, define CES.
Many of you have also seen a lot of Nintendo Switches
in thumbnails, and you've accused me of click bait.
I've actually had deals on them,
and then they've disappeared,
and no one changed the thumbnail in time.
So the Switch has also been a source of hate
on this YouTube channel, but again,
working to find more deals on this in the coming year,
very important to me and, of course,
sorry about all of that.
Okay!
And there are deals at CES.
For example, if you stand in the right place
at the right time,
(kissing) you can save money,
you can score a discount,
and a lot of the products that you see right here.
Don't taunt me.
Oh, you are shipping today.
Yes, this is a place for people that want to save money,
that want to explore tech, and the benefits
that follow long after the show wraps up,
mattsdailydeals.com is where I have you covered.
Yeah, this is how they're selling stuff this year.
I don't even know what she's selling,
but when you bring the power of AI
to the Consumer Electronic Show,
it's not just these random faces that.
Right, it's so weird but,
that's what people are responding to,
and in the gaming community,
which is actually a huge group
of women influencers and all of the gamers
that dominate Twitch, many of which are women.
I'm not quite sure what's going on here.
I feel there should be a guide beside her, as well,
but this is what we are seeing as CES.
This is what people are picking up on,
and this is at least how a lot of displays are able
to bring you in.
Look, there's a shoe.
It says best deal, 20% off.
If you've ever watched me before, you'll know
that 20% off is actually like the worst deal.
The interesting thing is when we are shopping as consumers,
a lot of us are choosing between Linksys
or WeMo or Belkin, and here it's almost
as though they're part of the same company, right?
Look at this display.
Each of the brands intermingled.
The smart home display behind me, WeMo,
and then you go a foot and it's Belkin,
and the interesting thing about the Consumer Electronic Show
is a lot of the brands that would otherwise competing
are, in fact, working together to produce the same result,
and those are the interconnected homes.
Those are the smart devices.
Those are the web infrastructure
because WeMo and Belkin understand
that if you've got a good router from Linksys,
all of their products will function better,
and that cross compatibility is a huge trend this year
where in years past,
a lot of the high tech smart home companies
have kind of been at odds.
Now, on mattsdailydeals.com, I've got gadgets inspired
by CES and then the actual devices that you see here,
which are all going to be on sale in the weeks to come,
And if there's one big takeaway message this year,
in addition to the interconnected cities
and the brands working together rather
than these oppositional states from years past,
it's what's old is new again.
It's getting a glossy new facade.
Its internal components are getting an update,
but everything we've been doing for the last several decades
is just being reimagined for the new generations,
and that is such a phenomenal thing for me to see.
As a parent, as someone that is going to have kids
that are embracing technology
in new ways long after I'm gone,
CES shows me what they're going to be doing,
and it shows them what I've already done.
So, I hope you guys had an amazing time
at the Consumer Electronic Show.
Please remember this is not something I just do once a year
like Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
I'm here saving you money on the tech
that you care about year round,
and it would be an honor to have you as part
of my journey well beyond the Consumer Electronic Show.
