2013 International CES
The International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has wrapped up its run in Las Vegas from Tuesday, January 8 through Friday, January 11, 2013 (www.cesweb.org).
The show is produced by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA, www.ce.org), which reports that CES continues to be the world's largest consumer technology tradeshow, and the largest tradeshow of any kind in North America.
After the show, the CEA reported that the 2013 International CES was the largest in the show's 45+ year history, with 1.92 million net square feet of exhibit space (equivalent to some 37 football fields). The previous record was 1.86 million net square feet of space at the 2012 International CES. More than 3,250 exhibitors unveiled some 20,000 new products at the 2013 CES, drawing more than 150,000 attendees, including more than 35,000 from more than 170 countries outside the United States.
The CEA also higlighted major product launches occurred across the 15 product categories at the show:
- Wireless/smartphones - launch of Sony’s Xperia Z, the Huawei Ascend Mate and ZTE Grand S.
- Video displays - LG featured its touchscreen Ultra HD, Sony launched the first Ultra HD OLED display, Samsung featured its bendable OLED and Hisense launched its transparent 3DTV.
- Digital Health and fitness - new products from Fitbit, Withings and BodyMedia.
- Vehicles - Audi and Lexus featured driverless vehicle technologies.
- Gaming - launch of Nvidia’s Project Shield, the Oculus Rift, the Sifteo and Razer Edge.
