hey everyone we are here at CES 2016 the show floor is open everything's crazy and I'm going to give you a sense of some of the stuff that's going on in drones drones wearables VR this behind me is parrots booth parents got a ton of drones and this is the disco drone their new one it's a fixed-wing drone and it looks like a plane it has quadcopter design inside the difference between this and other plane drones that this goes 15 miles an hour can fly for 45 minutes but if you stop controlling it it's not going to go zooming off into the distance it goes into a circle mode and waits and hovers and you can also command it or let it automatically come to you and it's meant to be for beginners to you so I don't end up landing us in a tree and not knowing where the heck my drone is plus this can be controlled with an iphone or VR because of course VR and you can put those headsets on and see through the camera that's mounted into the disco drone and see where it's going so let me show you that that's over here they only have demo setup because I wouldn't be able to fly this drone like through CES maybe next year take a look at this people are actually seeing what it looks like over this booth someone's actually piloting it right over here trying to demo file and that is a that's that's someone wearing the headset so you can actually put it on and that's what's going to feel like if you are piloting a drone in VR telepresence at the beginning of something that we're going to see a lot more of that's not all the drone that son all that parrot has they also have agriculture they have a flower pot come check this out right over here last year Harry had plants the parrot pot a self irrigating system that would be able to water your plant that's finally going to be coming out and it's right over here plants at CES do you ever see plants in the show in Las Vegas no you do not the parrot pot so there's a transparent one that actually shows you how it works and it will actually self water it will recognize your plants needs care for your plant and do it robotically I can actually press this button and try watering it and look at that it's actually shooting water out now into the pot it fills up over here the actual paraquat will look like this it's not transparent it's a optimizes water efficiency it will recognize more than 8,000 plants to make sure you're not over watering your cactus or under watering your exotic jungle plant carrot pod and there's a lot more to show in fact right behind us there are smart watches Huawei which made one of the better android wear watches last year huawei watch is trying to get a little more fancy and we're seeing that as a trend this year women's watches so while we watch is trying to bling these things out with a little bit more crystals and gold color while we watch we see this from the spit we're seeing this from Fitbit can these things be turned into jewelry would you buy them as jewelry that's what everybody is banking on huawei is a huge up-and-comer in phones and in wearables and we'll see if we can would find it where are the watch is on this floor I don't really know but we can see for their deep in there but you can see up here there's actually models that are wearing them parrot is one of a bunch of drone companies that are here parrot also has little little tiny drones but you can see this thing flying back up here disco that's one of the big trends at the show vr you're seeing a lot of companies throw VR at things to see if it'll stick you got oculus you have HTC vive you got samsung gear vr google cardboard and you got to be able to do fun things the more robots and the more drones that we have that connect to VR you might start to feel like you're going places in virtual reality and I think that's a train you're going to see probably over the next year two years three years or people going to hope that you buy into I want to try flying this in montclair actually and see what happens so let's go check out over here and actually see if I can use I want to put this headset on my head go check this out so again put it on we're one of these here yeah and I don't even know where how you would set up that rig and actually be able to control that over here perod also has a couple of other drums you got the bebop 2 these are quadcopters you may know about these take a look over here this is the parrot sky controller now this is what you would actually use to control it you've got little little ribs here and sticks this disco the head sound see if I can actually get a chance to put this on here gonna grab a can I put the sign to give it a divot of world should come pick us up yeah okay yeah great so so for a second and we actually put the sign and check this out so you can actually see what you're looking at and then keep it on your head and now you could actually move around and pilot it does a simulation this is not the actual disco drone flying you can actually see what's happening when I'm moving around i'm launching myself in the air I'm flying it's hovering and it feels like a video game this is a video game but you actually would be piloting a real disco drone in the real world if you were to try one of these things so that's disco drone and VR in action and that's what we're seeing right now at CES drones a lot more to come and see us 2016 i'm scott stein thanks for watching
