CES® 2016 opened its doors today spanning the largest exhibit floor in the show's 49-year history, with 2.4 million net square feet of exhibit space and featuring more than 3,600 companies, including a record 500 startups. Owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)TM, formerly the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)®, CES 2016 runs through Saturday, January 9, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
"CES kicks off today as the global platform where emerging technology meets the marketplace. I'm like a kid in a candy store this week, surrounded by mind-blowing innovation that is truly improving the human experience," said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of the Consumer Technology Association. "From robotics, 3D printing and unmanned systems to automotive tech, wearables and beyond, our world is changing as technology connects us all and works to solve the impossible. It is incredible we get to bring together so many industry visionaries, influencers and entrepreneurs this week at CES to showcase how tech is changing the world. The energy in Las Vegas right now is palpable."
Intel kicked off Tuesday's keynotes with art and a concert followed by the company's CEO Brian Krzanich asking the audience to fist pump the lit bracelets that were on each chair. Intel had it all, including next-generation drones, robots and more. Krzanich announced a number of new innovations that incorporate Intel's technology, including the Oakley Radar Pace smart eyewear, featuring a real-time, voice-activated coaching system designed to improve and enhance athletes' training and performance and the Typhoon H Drone, powered by Intel's RealSense technology to avoid collisions in real time.
Later Tuesday evening, Dr. Herbert Diess, chairman, board of management, Volkswagen Passenger Cars, took the keynote stage and addressed the company's recent diesel issue, stating that "we are doing everything possible to make it right," and discussed the company's focus on creating a "New Volkswagen" and redefining and re-engineering every aspect of VW. Dr. Diess then announced the new e-Golf Touch, a zero emissions, all-electric car, as "a smartphone on wheels" that will be available before CES 2017. Additionally, the electric BUDD-e, a unique concept for a long-distance electric vehicle, was unveiled as the "first car in the Internet of Things." Users will be able to connect the smart home with the smart car through partnership announcements with LG and startup company Door Bird.
Preshow press events kicked off Monday with the largest CES Unveiled in show history. The official media event of CES 2016, CES Unveiled featured more than 160 exhibiting companies, including a record-breaking 52 startups from Eureka Park - the dedicated CES exhibit area for early-stage companies.
