With the biggest names in technology expected to show up, we will be expecting a lot of futuristic products, gadgets and gizmos. We have compiled a list of what we can expect to show up at next year’s mega-show.
The Future of Automobiles
With an assorted array of cars coming with installed software and varying degrees of Artificial Intelligence (AI), CES 2017 promises to be the platform for the cars of the future. Delphi and Mobileye are two self-driving car technology companies that have confirmed that at CES 2017, they are going to showcase a new smart platform called the Central Sensing Localisation and Planning (CSLP) system- a big boost to driverless cars.

The Future of Audio and Video
With Sony, Panasonic, Samsung and LG in attendance, the future of the humble television set is set to be bright. While 4K TVs are already present, the futuristic and uber-expensive 8K television sets might be showcased. High Dynamic Range or HDR displays will rule this upcoming CES.
Advancements in Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR)
With the global success of Pokemon Go, 2016 showed a growing interest for virtual reality and augmented reality, and 2017 is likely to follow the trend.We expect plenty of VR and AR gadgets to be showcased, including the PogoCam for filming our lives. We’re hopeful to see a few of the Windows 10 VR headsets that we have covered earlier. A lot of VR and AR-related software, apps, games, and all kinds of experiences are to be expected.
Smartphones
The MWC or the Mobile World Congress being the primary global forum for smartphones, CES will likely feature not many phones. Huawei may come up with the Huawei Mate 9.
Laptops and Computers
We can expect major launches like the next Dell XPS 13 laptop and Samsung’s latest step in computing, the Pro-level Solid State Drive (SSD).
Drones and unmanned aerial vehicles
Drones were big news at CES 2016 and 2017 promises more of them, like the DJI and Parrot. Other companies might launch their own versions too.
As the CES 2017 gets underway, we will continue to bring updates for you. Stay tuned for more.
