Day 2 of CES delves into the world of VR

2016-01-07
welcome to see that's live stage here at CES 2016 i'm brian coulis with Professor Scott Stein got you another one professor of technology interpretation emeritus yes all over stroke yes we're here for day two of CES to bring you what's exciting which is a lot of stuff including some new experiences in VR which we're both excited about yes so here we go all right let's go started out with televisions which I think we kind of have sort of passed over until now the most amazing one rolls up yeah the Motorola we've seen a lot of TVs but now we're seeing some concepts behind the scenes yes concept LG was showing some some displays or the stuff gave a kastle-meyer check these out that's a rolling OLED display like a sheet of paper you curve it up it shows how flexible these displays can be and you know how you can tell it's really a breakthrough is that it more than just bends it literally rolls up right and they let us get near it usually when they have something super out there like this they have like five or six people on a velvet rope but we can't get near the thing well we can almost touch this yeah and they show even and this is fixed but you see in one part of the video how it is actually being rolled not just that that mock-up in static right so the wallets on your ear right here there we go okay it's on right now a little bit exposed but they're showing it's actually pretty nice you know who knows we gonna roll up your OLED newspaper but it's a show that you can do some interesting things up there but the curving can go in all sorts of directions not just this way and you're starting to see some of those like s shaped ones and who's who knows what's gonna come next even beyond TVs the screen tech is very flexible can you top it this has also got big import for retail as well when we talk about retail technology a little later in the roundup but this is the kind of thing that retail installers love to do to create displays like you see it conferences like this that retail stores and I guess one of the ideas is look you could have a TVs you can roll up and put away when you're not using which appeals to a certain you know lifestyle and design crowd that doesn't want that big black plastic thing out all the time on your wall justin bieber's marketing cruel put these everywhere like they do in shock on the on the sidewalk all right there was also this is a cool of the see-through OLED TV window what is this weird mix-up yeah so this is also LG and it's showing what OLED can do it's a funny thing about OLED we talked about how an OLED is fired up it's there when it's not you get pure blacks but that also means that when it disappears there's nothing there and this screen is showing transparency in place of that black so we're seeing or if there is big you through the window hello there are some smart windows we've seen but this is getting of the point where I think it looks more like Minority Report where say we keep talking about that as a movie touchstone but this is a I think this sort of trippy screen imagery like that you can start doing some really interesting things yeah yeah yeah really again a great retail technology as they're showing here also a great possible tool in the future toolkit for augmented reality yes and I mean maybe maybe like installations deep arts theater all sorts of things the unite displays perhaps this feeds into head-up displays in vehicles who's to say be there's a lot you can do there lot you can do now we didn't talk about pcs yet either so far this week we want to get covered on that most of them are around a PI performance vein origins PC with a wraparound form factor and we've seen curved TVs before this is more pronounced isn't it yeah this is a pcs have been actually a pretty big story at this show this is a 34 inches a curved screen this is this is a high-end machine Origen likes to customize and build out these machines you know this has replaceable parts though so you can still go in and swap out what you need so it is designed for for a serious user and it just kinda shows what you can do now in these forms maybe we'll start seeing all in ones it's usually all ones are not a thing you tend to see in gaming pcs but this one was pretty so modular they were able to get a curve there's one big flat motherboard there's lots of smaller boards put them in an array around there and it just looks cool those I'd rather have that I want to go in there and stop modding right now there you guys want to get my hands on it little subwoofer built into the backplane there I didn't get the VR headset just set it up neatly and that's cool yeah room it's pretty cool okay that's cool I don't know that that was really interesting is the razor Raz ers the maker blade razor has always got an amazing system here or a controller or something every year something wild and crazy this is a laptop high-performance compact laptop for gaming obviously hyper external outboard dock for graphics cards yes now this is like I feel like the MacBook 12 inches again kicked off that super small laptop tremor saying this is tiny slim super thin super small and for a couple of years now we thought about graphics and possibly being ported out at USB see I was talked about with Thunderbolt but now that's the idea here as you plug this in and now now it's a beefier it's a big unit but now you're playing games on it you want plug in it's an everyday laptop Razer has a lot of concepts the reason why I think it's kind of cool is that razors really had a nice track record recently their blade laptops have been great it been real yeah real deal great laptops so even though this looks like I'm kind of pie in the sky idea sometimes I go what's this what's it's gonna be this looks like a really nice laptop you pull off of that graphics then you have your desktop station then you take it on the road and you don't have to get a gaming PC and USBC is a big enough pipe move that heavy graphics load back and forth finally shows we can do impressive ok let's turn to some smart home stuff now everyone knows the Sleep Number bed right I mean they buy more radio commercials than anybody on earth I think and TV commercials so we know them tends to be a multi-thousand dollar fancy bed and all that they came out with the tech iasts and I believe cheapest of their beds an interesting intersection $1,000 for what they call it lower case I T connected mattress $1000 it has both the usual Sleep Number side-by-side air variable inflation to get the different Sleep Number but you've also got biometric measurement of heart rate sleep style respiration and it has a smart component that will take that information and recommend to you how you should sleep better when you should go to bed to get well-rested and give you the usual sort of report later if how you slept it's it's a smart mattress in a true sense yeah and we've seen there are there are little unroll things that they've had where you can track your your heart rate and sleep not have it built into the mattress but to see like a big company doing this interesting the price considering it also does that it's not bad will you use it I mean Sleep Number is already pretty good about like you know they're push the idea of like they want to customize combined I think with the idea that it would help customize your sleep if it's not working for you yeah I think that's where it gets interesting as opposed to what does this really mean for me and I think they're trying to get to a purpose and this can then set the Sleep Number without you having to guess all the time right but are those commercials gonna say well my sleep number is 45 my wife's is 70 how much trial and error did that take and how did you know it's the right number what feels good isn't necessarily given give you the best sleep but this supposedly we'll know and do it right from Super Bowls to wearables this is this is the oddest one we've had yet the welt the Samsung smart belt wins worst name at CES yes that's it for a few years now it's gonna it'll take that title probably super well wearable smart belt and it does what all belts do remind you that you're fat by noticing that there's more pressure on sensors and it's holding in more girth than it did before Thanksgiving and so let's you know and how much and gives you a track of how much weight you're gonna gain if you keep eating like this in the next few days and weeks so this is like your enemy I mean it makes you miserable every day when you put this thing on now it just brings that to your phone and throws in front of your face you will never be able to justify it in any smarts so well from Samsung yes they're exploring you know I think the throwing stuff against a wall but it bears noticing keep an eye on things like fabrics and suits Google with their project your Carver they this conductive fabric here the suit look like it was trying to throw information yeah we're like digital business cards if it's as group you know Samsung has got their own research and development teams they're showing off products that not even the our normal product representatives know about right now these are the things where you go there was a coming of Samsung that Samsung doesn't know right they live you ask the Samsung Repp sometimes you say what's come in they go I don't know go check it out we're surprised isn't it and that's kind of cool too yes great trivia Samsung has a fashion clothing line nothing to a tech they are a clothing maker in Korea I had no idea they'd make me plays in and this plays into that drones we've seen all kinds of drones here at the show of course but none that you can ride in that just changed our ashley Esqueda is actually right with a drone that will carry you not just take video of you let's take a look at what she found there hey guys ashley Esqueda with Cena down here on the show floor in South Hall drones are a really big story at CES this year but what about a drone that can carry a whole person in it this is the e hang 184 it has eight rotors they are humongous also we're gonna check out the cockpit check this out you're gonna get in here you're gonna check out this map there's gonna be locations you can tap on you're gonna tap on your location and this is an autonomous aerial vehicle it is gonna take you exactly where you need to go and you don't need a pilot's license that's one of the goals of he hang 180 for the founder of the company actually was inspired by unfortunately the death of his friends who were small pilot small plane pilots so they wanted to design something that nobody need a pilot's license to pilot to gold places but could get them from short ranges without as much danger you want to limit your danger here so the e hang 184 is designed to do just that and it gets up to 65 miles an hour you got 23 minutes of battery life on top of that it gets up to 11,000 feet in the air that is really really high I think I'm terrified of heights I don't want to go that high but it'll hover generally about 500 to a thousand feet this thing is going to be available to real consumers and the goal is that it's not going to be exclusive to the billionaire circuit so get out your millions or your hundreds thousands and get ready to buy the e hang once those regulations and the FAA approves this I predict I'm gonna have one of these to get through LA traffic now sit from the show floor make sure you check out all of our coverage on cnet.com / - yes okay we're back with CES in depth day two of the show here in Las Vegas Brian Cooley with Scott Stein another technology that has some retail import kind of like a couple of displays we just saw again in the display category something called memo meas magic mirror it's an evolution of a product that we have seen a year ago but now apparently about to move into actual stores this is a mirror that here's Beatty doing his thing it's a mirror you get in front of and you see yourself changed while you're in front of it in real time so here's Beatty and his clothes and changing color of the clothing so he can try different styles and clothes off the store without having to try different clothes on see how they look at least for color now depending on what kind of a back end you've got on this in terms of computation and AI you can move beyond color you could also move to fit fabric texture garment you can just run through the entire store without ever going to the store and get a pretty good approximation of how something looks on you this is what I you know what I really want to do is I want to just basically see this move into my television I want this I want the software and the and the cloud processing and of course you're gonna be able to shake your butt future Beatty and be able to get that into something that I've got in my home so I never did go to the store again and try on clothes I hate that I feel miserable I know if I don't do that that I'm really regretted any randomly ordered right but yeah I want that I also want some sort of like uni suits that would just I don't know how that would do that like three core items that would just keep changing colors and you get just tons of drawstrings you can make it baggy or tighten if anything you want to wear it each day okay let's move through the last couple things we've got going on here that would be aware on my hair I'm lost right here okay the Dragonfly 20 circuit board printer this print circuit board so you print things now they're just all plastic or materials what if you could print something that has integrated circuits literally integrated circuits inside of it please think of it the traces the electrical traces can just be another layer as long as it's conductive ink that you've got from one nozzle just draw the conductive part while you're adding case layers around substrate layers around it it's actually brilliant it's fantastic you think about building prototypes for items you can now 3d print circuit boards maybe you can 3d print an entire computing device that you want to test out in prototype and one of the biggest expenses in manufacturing Electronics is all the discrete components and the expensive machines that place them and drop them on there this is a step toward the idea that you literally print some of the used to be complicated discrete components that's really solid state if you get right down to it yeah that's truly celebrate start seeing things that use that very soon all right mr. born boy wrap the show big use for VR adult entertainment turns out that there was one company that we've seen Naughty America that has been very forward facing about putting this out there at the first experience no Brian Tom got to experience it Vanessa got to experience it here on the stage you may have seen their reactions pretty intense this is a you have to sideload get ready to sideload if you're gonna experience this at home because these these developers they don't want you to be using adult entertainment so they're basically telling you to download these files they're 180-degree 3d and I did try this out and you download it to local storage and try to make sure that people don't discover some cache of it about half a dozen videos or so so far they feel hallucinatory if you ever seen strange days or the old movie brainstorm that's not Brian tongs body yes my body sent that's how I sighed John's professor Stein it's rage you're really about to Seidler Stein that's my concern yeah yeah so this is it's very convincing so what I can say the close ranges are technically it's close range very high resolution very well optimized nicely done very disturbing bullshit what nope no peripherals yet I tried it on in there oh I was I tried out the full I tried on the whole experience that's not ever see I told my mother was gonna go to a nice clean professions yeah and Here I am with you this is the future this is the future help us all okay that's it for tonight don't judge me what an experience never do Brian Cooley and professor Stein will be back tomorrow at 11 o'clock Pacific with the big roundup of the whole show with our picks for the top 10 products of CES 2016 so a really big zoom out that's not nearly all that's happening here on the CNET stage though we've got the smell alarm clock waking us up at 9:00 a.m. we'll crack open a hoverboard with everything wishers standing by because let's face it your airline won't let you transport want anymore plus our appliance team will discuss their favorites here at the show as well so we'll see you bright and early goddamn it early tomorrow morning yeah sleep it a little bit like you and your VR Scottie download yeah I bet you will have a side loan right we'll see you tomorrow
