– What can you find at CES?
The first CES took place in 1967. Back then, people exhibited new technologies including the computer mouse. These were brand new and exciting products, shortly followed by VCRs, camcorders, CD players and, in 2001, the original Xbox.
CES is known around the world as the place to go to see the latest technologies. You’ll see brand new gadgets, tools and devices, shown off for the very first time.
Nowadays, attendees will see the latest innovations in 3D printing, artificial intelligence, computer hardware, digital health, drones, fitness technologies, entertainment and games, lifestyle products, robotics and much more.
You can see smart home devices, self-driving vehicles, VR tech and wearables, as well as so many other consumer electronics.
