CES 2014 Broke Records

CES 2014 broke records, as CES seems to do every year, and with the massive amount of people and the overflowing number of vendors, it’s easy to miss a lot. That’s why editors Chris Fox and Jason Lomberg traveled to Las Vegas and compiled the Top Ten from CES 2014.

10. Toyota’s iRoad – Toyota premiered a demo of the company’s new iRoad concept, a tiny, three-wheeled road car that leans into turns like a motorcycle.

9. Curvy, Voluptuous TVs – After the flop of 3D TVs, curved displays have taken the baton as the next big thing in consumer electronics, and most the major companies have already jumped onboard.

8. More Processing Power – Nvidia presented their all-new Tegra K1 mobile CPU, which boasts a 64-bit Super Core CPU.

7. Smart Sporting Goods – Smart bats, basketballs, and tennis racquets are contributing to our ever-increasing appetite for data and adding to the internet of things everyday.

6. 3D Printing – This year has been booming for 3D printing, and at CES 2014 the showing was more than three times that of CES 2013, necessitating a new tech area of booths for the devices.

5. RFID Gun Locks – Murata, in conjunction with RPH Engineering, has developed a gun case that uses RFID technology to lock and unlock firearms.

4. Balancing Electric Bikes – Lit Motors’ all electric motorcycle has the potential to rewrite the book on motorcycle piloting with its unique balance system.

2. Smartphone Stun Gun – Yellow Jacket has developed a smartphone case that can double as a defensive stun gun.

1. Crossing the Oculus Rift – The Kickstarter-funded, Oculus Rift Crystal Cove headset unveiled its first prototype on the CES 2014 floor, and the technology aims to be a show-stopper.
