And a question about the gadget show’s mojo
So you won’t be going to next week’s International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas because, try as you might, there is simply no way you can imagine slipping that one by the boss on an expense report. My colleague Keith (Captain Video) Shaw understands, which is why he has assembled this snappy slideshow featuring preview clips from vendors who will be showing off wares for the some 140,000 expected CES attendees.
I found this one featuring Zienon’s touch-free gesture control particularly interesting:
The clips are mercifully short, but be aware that at least a couple might register on the blush meter.
Meanwhile, this story from the IDG News Service posted to our site yesterday afternoon asks: “Has the world’s largest gadget expo lost its mojo?”
Not having been in a quite a few years, I’ll leave it to others to answer.
