New technologies: CES 2019 tops and flops
The tops
Roll-up TV is born
This TV caused a sensation. Emerging from a 65-inch OLED panel that doubles as a speaker (and living room furniture), LG's rolling model is a world first and is expected to land in the course of 2019. Only downside? It's rumored that the price could be as high as $ 20,000 ...
Uber spreads its wings
And if our displacements were done soon by taxi ... flying? This is the not so futuristic bet of Bell and Uber with their helicopter called Bell Nexus. Test flights are planned as early as 2020.
Virtual reality gets behind the wheel
Audi, Disney and the Chloride start-up have joined forces to occupy the passengers of autonomous cars, one of the most present technologies on the show. The idea? The journey becomes a real video game whose content is directly adapted to the movements of the vehicle via an Oculus helmet. The bickering on the back seat is almost over!
We're holding tomorrow's burger
Vegan, soy-based, gluten free, zero cholesterol ... The burger of the future will be healthy and eco-responsible or will not be. This year, Impossible Burger 2.0 has managed to imitate the taste of meat to perfection and has bluffed more than one journalist present in Las Vegas.
The flops
The foldable smartphone, it's not even that
The Chinese Royale presented the first foldable smartphone, a technology that is obviously highly anticipated. Too much? The disappointment was indeed at the rendezvous. The Flexi is his name, has been sharply criticized by the specialized press: it would not be really practical, it would suffer bugs at each folding and would be equipped with a poor quality camera ... Samsung to prove that it can do better in the month of February.
Does Alexa do it too much?
Voice assistance is one of the biggest trends of recent years and has already been invited to many homes. But when Kohler places Alexa of Amazon in his toilets Numi 2.0, some, like 01net, cry overdose. And if this room remained an intimate place? At 7000 dollars the little corner, maybe it's better like that.
