Flying to attend tech seminars is a mixed bag experience of aching backs and wide eyed amazement at what lies beyond 2015.
This year was the second time for CES Asia, an offshoot of Consumer Technology Association (CTA). Weirdly enough, the show included a Donald Trump speaker. Yes, that crazy man's bust with noise exploding out his head.
China is one of the fastest growing consumer electronics innovators in the world. CES Asia, which took place this year on May 11-13, brought things you wouldn't otherwise see elsewhere. Three predominant themes caught my attention this year: Virtual Reality, drones, more drones, 3D printing and electric cars. VR is promising to be a big player in the tech market.
Huawei has joined the game to develop VR devices as well as providing the backbone for carrying backbone to manage all the huge data generated by VR content. One of the more impressive was the Typhoon by Yuneec. With more than 25 minutes of airtime, it offers more video recording time than most other drone developers.
Yuneec Typhoon: one of the most impressive drones we've seen at the expo. Should be a big contender for the mainstream companies. Quiet with long battery support.
Many companies were present with their VR software and headsets. But every few stall apart there seemed to be a manufacturer of 3D printers. Most displayed figurines and scale models with one guy displaying a massive sword that took more than two days to complete. 3D printing has many uses in the industrial and even medical world but these smaller printed will serve primarily to build prototype models and crafts, at least till prices drop.
