There's only one place to see the future of technology before it arrives: CES. Every year, the world's tech companies converge in Las Vegas to give everyone a glimpse of all the new tech gizmos and trends to come.
Google's Tango technology has been in the works for a long time, but we didn't love the first phone that made use of this tech. The second Tango phone, ASUS' ZenFone AR, addresses most of our biggest concerns. It's actually pocketable, for one, and packs a high-end Snapdragon chipset, along with a whopping 8GB of RAM. It's more than just an AR machine too: It also supports Google's Daydream VR platform.
ZTE's Blade line of smartphones is well-known abroad, but the company is finally bringing it to the US with the Blade V8 Pro. More importantly, it packs plenty of goodies, considering its $230 price. There's a bright 5.5-inch full HD display, for starters, along with a solid body that feels better than other mid-range phones we've seen at the show. It also rocks a surprisingly good dual camera setup. Who says every important phone has to be pricey?

The fact that the Casio WSD-F20 is one of the first smartwatches to run Android Wear 2.0 is nice, but it's the device's built-in low-power GPS and offline maps in color that have us paying closer attention. The rugged watch has new button guards and a protective bezel that make it hardier than its predecessor, which is important for its target audience. It may be pricier than a typical Android Wear watch, but the Casio WSD-F20 offers enough differentiating features to justify that premium, at least for outdoor enthusiasts.
There are plenty of activity trackers for golf, tennis and many other sports, but what about boxing? Everlast and PIQ have teamed up to attach a motion sensor to a boxing glove to track your face-punching. That data is then crunched to tell you the type of punch, impact and force that you produce during your sparring sessions. You can then post it to social media -- you know, to warn your Facebook friends not to mess with you on a night out.
Projectors have never been this cool before. Ever. Another wild concept from Razer, Project Ariana is a projector that extends your computer display or TV onto your walls for a more immersive experience. Using two depth sensors, Ariana scans your room and then tells its 155-degree fisheye lens to project an expanded field of view around your main display. The result is an impressive interactive light and projection show that augments whatever is happening on the screen.
NVIDIA GeForce Now is a game streaming service that lets you rent a virtual gaming PC to play your games on the move. It lets you play any game you own on something as weak as a MacBook Air, for a price.

CES is the tech world's big coming-out party for the New Year — a supersize circus of gadgetry that both follows major trends in tech and creates them. It’s never the same year to year, but it’s always a showcase of what’s to come in consumer technology.
Called Helia, the new line of bulbs from Soraa are LED lights that aim to recreate the feel of natural sunlight. The bulbs, which rely on sensors rather than Wi-Fi, emit bright blue light in the morning when you're waking up and then slowly reduce the amount of blue light until the sun sets and all blue light is eliminated. It's kind of light iOS's Night Shift mode and the result is light that's easier on your tired eyes (and brain) and less disruptive to your sleep.
The AIRE by FoodMarble is a portable app-connected gadget that is able to analyze the amount of gas in your bloodstream the way a breathalyzer would monitor your blood alcohol level. According to FoodMarble, certain foods that don't gel with your system cause a buildup of gas in your gut. Using a series of breath tests and food tracking, the AIRE can help you find out which foods don't agree with your body so that you can live a more comfortable life.
The Bodyfriend Aventar looks more like a luxury sports car than something that will give you an impressive massage. When you sit in the chair it scans your body and creates a special massage just for you by measuring your shoulder height and width, leg length, weight and height. Using its connected app, you can set preferences for individual users, and set specific massages for certain areas of your body, so if you just want to get a pain out of your feet and don't want the full experience, you can select just a foot massage. Best of all, the chair’s got a 5.1 speaker system that connects wirelessly to your TV.

Willow's hands-free breast pump could be a game-changer for new mothers tired of noisy and cumbersome electric breast pumps. The set of two wearable pumps slip into the wearer's bra and simply pump until its bags are full. The product is remarkably quiet, so it can be worn out of the house while women go about their daily activities. Willow is also FDA-approved and simple to clean, with parts that are dishwasher safe. Of course, an intuitive, hands-free pump doesn't come cheap -- when it launches this spring, it will retail for $429.99, plus $0.50 per milk storage bag.
PowerRay is an underwater drone for fishing that's able to dive to around 100 feet. Equipped with sonar, PowerRay can detect fish at distances of up to 120 feet beneath it and lure them in with a special fish-attracting light. Should the day's potential catch still prove to be elusive, PowerRay has a remote-controlled bait-drop system that should do the trick. For the pilots up on deck, there's WiFi connectivity and a real-time video feed from the onboard 4K camera of what's going on down below. For the real high-tech angler, that video feed can also be viewed in, and controlled by, VR goggles.
Lego creations are about to get way more fun. Priced at $160 per set, the new Lego Boost teaches your kids how to bring their building blocks to life with code. Thanks to a mix of sensors and motors, the Lego creation can be programmed with an app to follow different commands, like moving or rolling around depending on what you're building. There are five different models, including a cat and a guitar. The Boost will be available in August.

CES, also known as the Consumer Electronics Show, is an internationally renowned electronics and technology trade show, attracting major companies and industry professionals worldwide. The annual show is held each January at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. Not open to the public, the Consumer Technology Association - sponsored show typically hosts previews of products and new product announcements.
The first CES was held in June 1967 in New York City. It was a spinoff from the Chicago Music Show, which until then had served as the main event for exhibiting consumer electronics. The event had 17,500 attendees and over 100 exhibitors; the kickoff speaker was Motorola chairman Bob Galvin. From 1978 to 1994, CES was held twice each year: once in January in Las Vegas known as Winter Consumer Electronics Show (WCES) and once in June in Chicago, known as Summer Consumer Electronics Show (SCES).
IT is particular a function or a festival held in LAS VEGAS where entry is only on invitation. The invitations are given to companies worldwide. And the companies in here also presents their upcoming products or also launch their products at the CES.
