this top 5 video from CES 2016 is brought to you by mass drop while I may not wear a fitness wearable we all know I'm not trendy anyway so that doesn't prevent Fitness from being our first trend here at CES 2016 the Fitbit blaze watch improves on their previous fitness watch the surge in a few ways it's got a color display their fit star program with three built-in workouts and animations showing you how to do them it's compatible with over 200 mobile devices and the battery will last for five days of actual use the sensoria athlete 2000 is a prototype workout suit that uses sensors to track body temperature fatigue balance impact force running cadence and more the whole suit is just a prototype but you can get a bundle that includes a top for men or sports bra for women a chest sensor and an anklet sensor called the fitness running system for $400 the Under Armour Gemini 2 with speedform is a distance tracking shoe it's not GPS based instead using accelerometers for accurate motion tracking and Under Armour says this is more accurate than wearing something on your wrist since the sensor is actually on your foot it transmits data via bluetooth can can actually store data without a smartphone for five workouts out of time and push to it later on the shoes are a hundred and thirty dollars trend number two is smart home products and automation the lyric water freeze and warning detector from Honeywell can be put anywhere where there could be a leak or a pipe freeze on a table under the pipes of your house and will warn you with a push notification and email if the temperature drops below a certain threshold the Samsung family huh but smart fridge is actually more than just a tablet stuck to a fridge it's got a huge 21 and a half inch touchscreen and lets you do all kinds of food-related things you can order groceries you can look up recipes and it's got cameras inside so you can see what food you have while you're out at the store so you don't end up buying duplicates the soma bar robotic bartender is kind of like a Keurig for alcohol it's got three clear compartments that hold alcohol and mixers with for a total of seven hundred and fifty Mills you tell the machine through the app what's in the compartments and it's got three hundred recipes built in or you can create your own you can even add bitters and the machine will flush itself out between uses so things will taste right it comes in at a pricey four hundred and twenty nine dollars but that's certainly a lot cheaper than even a few nights out at the bar with friends so it might be a justifiable purchase it'll be available sometime in quarter two trend number three is display technology and this one's kind of a broad one but there's a lot going on and Panasonic is showing off transparent displays that look like part of a living room curio slash display cabinet so it's essentially a window and a display in one you can also use it as both for example if you just want it to display weather info or sports scores in one spot and be able to see through the rest of it speaking of seeing through the rest of it BMW was showing off a concept motorbike helmet with an augmented reality heads-up display that sits right in front of the rider so as not to distract him or her and Panasonic LG and Samsung are all starting to incorporate HDR or high dynamic range technology into their higher-end TVs now this doesn't look like it's just a gimmick like the bad HDR capturing some smartphones and there is even an industry-wide certification process in order to be certified what HDR means is they can reproduce more colors and more accurate colors than most other displays which leads us to Oh LEDs no longer being only present in smart phones and televisions no my friend's Dells got a desktop monitor and lenovo has a notebook both of which feature OLED displays that hopefully address the issue with OLED Xand burn in on static images something that can be an issue with things like the taskbar tech trend number four is drones where we're starting to see drones capable of doing more than just kind of awkwardly flying around and recording video the e hang 184 can actually carry a freaking person as long as they're brave enough to get into it the pair Disko ditches the traditional quadcopter look and instead has wings like an airplane did I mention it's capable of going 50 miles per hour and the unique typhoon H has an intel realsense camera built-in so it can avoid colliding with objects without any user input which brings us to our final trend car technology cars without mirrors BMW did this with their i8 Concept which was a huge hit at CES it uses several extremely low latency cameras and a high resolution screen instead of a rear view mirror with winged quote-unquote mirrors with cameras on them to give you a real-time look behind and to the sides of the car with much better viewing angles than traditional mirrors and even glancing over your shoulder Google also looks like they're gonna have some competition in the autonomous car market with Ford showing off a self-driving focus that they hope to price low enough to be accessible to the masses Nvidia also showed off its Nvidia Drive px 2 an updated version of the original drive released last year it's the computer that could control your first self-driving car it's as powerful as 150 MacBook Pros or 6 Titan X's and it's even liquid cooled it also uses cloud based deep machine learning to improve Volvo has already adopted the technology this video on the top 5 tech trends at
