So judging by CES 2014, we can expect a future where 8K is the new 4K, consumer-friendly Steam Machines battle the PS4 and Xbox One for living room shelf-space, and everybody wears a fitness tracker. Heck, even the idea of the digital home is making a comeback, while VR continues to enjoy the coolest of reboots.
15. Toyota FCV- Toyota has made history by buying hybrid cars. A fuel cell is used to blend stored hydrogen with oxygen from the atmosphere to generate electricity. When the magic happens, the only other product of the reaction is water, so the car only emits water and not lung-crippling carcinogenics. The first FCV car will be out in 2015.
14. PlayStation Now: Sony brought Gaikai a game company that streams games. The idea Sony has with this company is to stream PlayStation 1, 2 and 3 games from any Sony infused smartphone, tablet, or TV without the need of a console.
13. Intel Edison: It’s a full Pentium class pc the size of an SD card built using the company’s 22nm tri-gate transistor tech.  Intel hopes the tech will be incorporated into all sorts of devices.
12. AMD Project Discovery: A smart 11-inch nestled in a gaming controller cradle and powered by the company’s new Mullins mobile processor.
11. Pebble Steel: The Pebble smart watch has been the darling of the wearable tech game for some time now but its plastic looks have put some people off buying it. Pebble knew this and the Pebble Steel was born: a smart watch that looks, well, like a watch. The Steel is a Pebble for grown-ups, offering both leather and metal straps. It still has the same E-ink screen but the control system has improved, making it one of TechRadar’s favorite gadgets at CES.
10. LG Life band Touch: A three axis accelerometer and an altimeter on the inside that is used to track your fitness and to receive phone/text message alerts via Bluetooth.
9. Sony Bravia X9: Its wedge shaped 4 k televisions. 4k is the future of TV and what the wedge styling does is allow for a better sound system.
8. Flexible OLED: It will be the potential for wraparound, displays, foldable displays, rollable displays and all of the futuristic devices that these screens will enable.
7. Sony Xperia Z1 Compact: A phone with 20.7 MP G lens sensor, a snapdragon 800 quad core chipset and the same metallic surround and waterproofing.
6. Project Christine: Just as Valve’s Steam Machines are designed to appeal to non-PC gamers who cower at the prospect of upgrading a graphics card, this unusual tower encases a system’s core components (hard drive/SSD, RAM, power supply, graphics card, etc.) in non-threatening, pluggable boxes. The modular design is a neat approach (although pluggable upgrades would obviously be more expensive). Motorola has been playing around with the same idea for smartphones, and we should see its intriguing Project Ara hardware later this year.
5. Eyelock Myris: Considering how far technology has developed over the past few years, it’s astounding to think that we still protect our smartphones with a basic 4-digit code and safeguard our most important data with a password that we’re allowed to choose ourselves. There are safer, higher-tech solutions available. Apple introduced fingerprint recognition to mobiles with the iPhone 5. Eyelock aims to replace insecure passwords with Myris – a device that scans your eye for uncrack able authentication instead.
4. Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro: The Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro is a brilliant piece of kit. The new screen, redesigned UI and the power behind it all mean that this is a real contender for tablet of the year. Bearing in mind it’s January, that’s pretty impressive.
3. Steam Machine: Why are Steam Machines such a big deal? Because the concept of an easy-to-use, Windows-free living room PC has the potential to turn home entertainment on its head, to challenge the Xbox One and PS4, and to attract an audience who might once have balked at the cost and complexity of owning a gaming rig. Valve announced 13 Steam Machine partners at CES 2014; its Steam service already has 65 million members. The only question worth asking is: which Steam Machine should you buy?
2. An improved Oculus Rift: With VR headsets, digital watches and Yahoo launching new products, you’d be forgiven for thinking that you’d stepped back in time to CES 1995. But back then, when teenagers stood agog at the Lawnmower Man in cinemas and tuned into the X-Files on TV, Virtual Reality promised a digital escapism that the technology couldn’t deliver. Nineteen years later, the Oculus Rift is amazing people all over again and the updated ‘Crystal Cove’ hardware, with its 1080p OLED display, adds positional tracking, reduces latency and eliminates motion blur for a more nausea-free, immersive experience.
1. NVidia Tegra K1: Yes, NVidia’s newest quad-core chip isn’t a gadget per se. But imagine the next-gen gadgets that it could power with its 192 CUDA cores, desktop-class Kepler architecture, DirectX 11 and Unreal Engine 4 support. NVidia claims that the K1 can outperform the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, delivering new levels of graphical realism in slate-style playthings that you can hold in the palm of your hand. No TV required. NVidia plans to set the K1 free later this year in 32-bit 2.3GHz and 64-bit 2.5GHz versions. We’re excited to see the devices it will power.
