- I'm showing the hottest tech at CES 2019.
Everything you need to know, CES, woo!
CES, wooo, wooo, wooo, yeah!
Hello, and welcome to my happy place.
CES Las Vegas, 2019, woohoo, yes.
No, I don't get out much, no I don't have much of a life.
If you've never seen before on the YouTube,
I'm Matt Granite, I work for TV stations
across the country, I host programming for Amazon
but my priority, my passion and my love
are the amazing subscribers of this channel.
You guys watch, you keep me going.
I'm taking you behind the scenes throughout CES.
Oh, we go a lot to show you.
From robots to new trends, drones, artificial intelligence,
some of the biggest TV's you've ever seen.
I'm gonna make my way over here
and I'm gonna start showing you
what's big, what's hot and what you need to know.
Is this awkward? Hello.
Nothing awkward about a robot that will
play table tennis with you.
Now I wanna begin with this first major trend at CES, 2019.
AI, artificial intelligence.
One of the key ingredient technologies,
not just now but really for the next decade.
From assembly lines where the products we buy
will cost significantly less to
some really cool customized user experiences.
They're awesome. They're all over the place.
And, yeah, even luggage that will
follow you around the airport.
I saw speech recognition to predictive text,
AI really changing everything for the farming industry.
Even some really cool robots that will
obviously fold your laundry.
I think that's been at CES actually for the last five years.
Everyone asks "can I see it?" but it's the same every year.
I saw robo-vacs that will clean your windows.
You might have seen that in one of my earlier videos
but helping everything from pet owners
to an industry where AI is going to be embedded
into all sorts of products, and yes,
even robots that will dance with you.
She can move. You wanna move for me?
Look at those moves, it moves very fast
and we've just made eye contact.
I feel a bond, I don't know how to explain it.
From the Amazon service incorporate into here
and some of those Alexa skills
you're just getting a little bit more familiarity.
You could use this for entertainment.
You could see this at a casino.
She can take pictures, she can tell jokes,
she can dance which is really awesome.
You could click on a song and make the robot dance.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, woo!
I don't know if you guys know this
but I'm a professional clubber.
Let's talk about smart vehicles
and this was such a great focus at CES this year
because I started to see some new cars
that are not too far from being sold on the market.
Yes, you have the high end car makers
looks at the interior of self driving cars.
This autonomous driving industry, in fact,
Uber and Lyft both operating at CES in Vegas
where a self driving car was one of the
options to pick you up on the app.
I actually tried to get one but
they were so overly requested,
I had to unfortunately go with a gentleman named Jim
in a Kia Optima, he was very nice though.
So, the high end car makers partnering with
all sorts of robotic AI technologies
and just, in my opinion, really changing the designs
from last year which was a nice, refreshing thing to see.
Many of the vehicles actually equipped with 5G
and WiFi connectivity hotspots and I do wanna discuss 5G
before we move into some of the other big trends
and I've go a lot to discuss and share with you
which has me very excited.
So 5G, replacing 4G, this is available
not just in North America but as a modern
main stream market alternative.
And think about your smart phone right now.
It has facial recognition, it has finger print readers,
it can turn on your lights, control your house,
turn off your alarm but the darn thing
can barely make a phone call.
I can't hear you, I don't know where I'm standing,
I need to move near a window, I'm too close to a tunnel.
5G is something where, we need this,
the future is now as far as I'm concerned
in terms of everything tied to 5G.
So, that was refreshing to see.
Before we move to the next trend in technology,
let's just talk about how CES is laid out
because I wanna mention that there are
several halls that actually house the CES demonstrations.
There's the north and south convention centers
and then the Venetian has quite a bit.
Health tech there and also a convention center
tied to the Venetian called the Sands.
There are hundreds of thousands of people.
In fact, a five minute drive is a one hour drive
during CES for any of the major arteries in Las Vegas.
And it can take you as much as 30 minutes
to walk down a hallway which would otherwise take 10 mins.
Lots of people, lots of exhibitors
and a lot of people from over seas which was nice to see.
Alright, as we discuss technologies,
one thing that was very different this year
is kinda, not just a focus on solar
but doomsday preventative scenarios.
Ways to ensure your water is still available
in the event of something terrible happening.
First alert notification networks.
This was something where I saw more of a focus on it
this year unfortunately, than usual.
And these were North American focused products
which was interesting to see all sorts
of environmental monitoring as well
but this was a little bit different as a major trend in CES.
Another major trend, connected cities.
Also some of that smart technology
brought into bikes and we'll talk about
fitness gear and health tech in a moment.
But this was interesting to see.
Taxis that will pick you up different types
of public transportation apps and buses.
All tied to the future of mobile transportation
for those of us that do not own vehicles
or have no wish to do so.
It was very different and some of this
self-braking technology and things that will see ...
I think actually very soon tied into
anyone that wants to use cruise control.
Not just all of the fancy vehicles.
You'll see that, things geared at folks on road trips,
not just commuters a great new trend tied to technology.
And yeah, robots, notice there are robots
still all over the place, also,
in the healthcare industry as well as personal security.
Robots helping you through airports
and was just a very interesting thing to see
as I briefly divert back to all of the robotic trends.
Let's talk about sports, sports tech.
This was cool to see this year.
From hockey to boxing, which I'll get to in a moment,
to smart weights, oh there's the boxing
I love this, this is actually a really cool demonstration.
If you wanna stay fit or if you don't like going to the gym
like I do, there are a lot of technologies to keep you
a little more intune with the world around you
if you do have a New Year's resolution to be more fit.
A lot of the gaming industries have actually
partnered with the fitness industry, this year.
So, we're kinda seeing an amalgamation of both.
Really cool virtual reality tennis games
that I've never seen before that kinda
take like a batting cage and some of the demonstrations
that I was able to partake in,
really just mind blowing in terms of how fun it is
to do athletic activities even if you're not athletic.
And if you are athletic all sorts of health monitoring.
All sorts of great ways to, not only lose,
but get a better idea of what's going on in your body.
A lot of us get the majority of our information
delivered to us from a doctor, sometimes before its too late
or sometimes at our annual check-up
but a lot of ways to arm you with that same information
that you typically get from a health care provider
or a much more experienced professional, so that's cool.
Alright, let's move into the next side of smart tech.
Smart tech tied to accessibility.
Very refreshing to see, I know there are a lot of people
that live with disabilities or
have other people in their household.
This is a great thing, every year I get excited
when I see this and as we actually talk about
some of the healthcare and some of the
really interesting integrations of toothbrushes.
Toothbrushes that know where a cavity might form
and help you navigate around your mouth,
very interesting to see.
Smart Belts, that's actually a thing.
A belt that will tell you if you're likely to fall,
your stability, your posture,
how much you've consumed, if you're putting on weight.
Just a really cool way to put smart
health tech into perspective.
Those were some of the hottest items at CES 2019,
and of course, there's a whole lot more to show you.
Other videos, other uploads, other things to see.
And the more affordable side of technology, as well.
And my favorite thing about being able to
have you guys with me at CES is one,
I'm lonely and don't have many friends,
so it feels really cool but also,
CES for some people isn't that easy to get to.
You either need to be a media industry professional
or an exhibitor or it's expensive,
you don't wanna go to Vegas, hello.
I thought he was coming to talk to me,
I got excited, like I do have a friend.
Gus over there is not my friend.
Neither is Janice, so.
