10 Things to Know About CES 2023

According to the Consumer Technology Association, the Consumer Electronic Show is the biggest electronic event in the world, serving as a testing ground for cutting-edge innovations.

This year, CES 2023 will take place from January 5 through January 8 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada.

Before it begins, here are some things you should know about this year's CES including products and big brands that will be there:

1. CES Is NOT Open To The Public

The CES show floor and programs are not open to the general public because this convention is only for those connected to the consumer tech sector.

Attendees at the CES had to provide confirmation of their COVID-19 vaccination last year, but the requirements appear to be more flexible now, according to Android Authority.

2. CES Participants Are Scaling Back On Outlandish Laptop Features

Although CES is notorious for featuring some of the most bizarre laptop designs and functionalities, this year's CES may be reducing that, according to PC Mag.

It is also likely that glitzy CES announcements for laptop makers are losing their luster as manufacturers adjust for new economic pressures and shifting consumer preferences.

3. AR/VR Is In The Spotlight

The significant VR news will be anchored by HTC's Vive tease and Meta's Quest Pro's recent launches, but AR will probably be even more pervasive, as per Tech Crunch.

While CES has not historically been heavily focused on gaming, many hardware manufacturers will be fighting for attention to highlight their AR/VR products.

4. CES Will Highlight Sustainability

According to early rumors, sustainability will be a major focus at this year's CES, so keep a watch out for new smart home appliances that conserve energy and water.

Always present at CES are new connected models from manufacturers like LG and Samsung for both large and small household appliances to champion sustainability.

5. Automotive Makers Will Also Be Present To Highlight EVs

At CES conventions, cars and mobility are perennially popular themes, with major companies like BMW, GM, Qualcomm, and others showcasing their flagship initiatives.

Automobile aficionados should definitely keep an eye out for updates on new technologies for vehicles, such as electric vehicles, self-driving technology, and more, according to Android Authority.

6. Watch Out For Wearable Tech Innovations

All of the major manufacturers of wearable devices will be present showcasing their most recent models, with the exception of Apple, who never has a booth at CES.

While no major smartwatch or fitness tracker is anticipated to make a product debut, there are rumors that some new, reasonably priced wearables from lesser-known brands may be of interest.

7. Digital Currencies And Non-Fungible Tokens Are Hot Topic

Web3 is a major topic at the event as NFTs are likely to continue to be of interest in the years to come. Crypto and blockchain are also popular themes.

8. Digital Health Solutions Related To Fitness Technology Are Present

A wide range of additional digital health products, such as blood pressure monitors, stress-reduction tools, fitness monitoring glasses, and more are also anticipated at the exhibition by attendees, PC Mag writes.

9. CES Is Also Championing New Audio Equipments

Numerous headphones, speakers, and other audio equipment are purportedly being displayed by companies like Sony, Samsung, LG, Klipsch, JBL, House of Marley, and Audio Technica at the convention.

10. Home Gym Equipments Will Also Be Present At The CES

It can be remembered that the most talked-about exercise equipment at CES 2022, the Echelon EX-8S smart stationary bike lit up the previous year's event.

This year, Peloton just introduced its first-ever rowing machine, so the company is unlikely to make any significant announcements regarding home gym equipment at CES.

However, attendees could see new models from other fitness rivals at the CES as per reports.
