A great revolution for the world entertainment event, the CES, Consumer Electronics Show (Las Vegas, 8-11 January, over 4500 exhibitors) organized by the CTA, Consumer Technology Association (turnover 292 billion dollars). The reason - as casadipaola.it writes - is brutally simple: in 2018 there were exponential increases in floods, earthquakes, fires, collapses and various pollutions in the US, caused largely by the accentuation of climate change underway. This is why, between TV, whisks, robots, smartphones, cars, Hi Fi, PCs and super Hi Tech fridges, day 8 takes place Cities and Tech: Fostering Partnerships to Build Resilience, lhe most important event of CES, inspired by a word that will perhaps be the most pronounced in 2019: "resilience", or "resilience", that is, what technologies can do immediately to resist disasters, partially repair the damage and prevent (if it will still be possible, they say). Organizers are optimistic but the choice of emergencies suggests that, with the exception of the embarrassing President Trump, industry, traders and consumers in America are extremely concerned.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE
Just to give some numbers: every year the 15 most important economic sectors in the US have losses of over one billion dollars to which must be added the disappearance of pieces of coastline because the oceans and rivers here are advancing at incredible speeds. Can technologies do anything?. Artificial Intelligence – AI – has recently been applied as a predictive tool to limit those lack of forecasts that have such an impact on damages; specials will be presented gigantic containers with fully automatic hydroponic crops for famines and countries in crisis. The sun inspired a brilliant scientist-artist (who boasts 145 patents) for a zero-consumption system that cleans water with air to make it drinkable, have an excellent taste and give lots of it. For humanitarian purposes only – underlines the blog lacasadipaola.it – here are yours prodigious batteries that power remote networks around the world.
TECHNOLOGIES FOR GIGANTIC DISASTERS
A scientist artist among the top influencers of Virtual Reality offers her knowledge to communicate humanitarian messages in a very effective way, to awaken consciences ... A series of super-experienced officials in disasters of enormous proportions will come to reveal the most efficient technologies while international experts in resilience informatics they teach how to remedy the damage that sovereign hackers – mostly Russians and from Steve Bannon's former Cambridge Analytica with his The Movement – continue to cause city services, hospitals, administrations, NGOs, to transport, also to impose denial political candidates.
FOLDING SCREENS AND AUTO-DISCOS
In parallel to this event, unique for its technological level, obviously takes place the great review of consumer products. HTC will probably come with different virtual reality devices of the HTC Vive series, Samsung should bring the fabulous foldable smartphone, the Galaxy X, pursued by the same debut….foldable of the Chinese Huawei. And all thanks to the screens Oled and Amoled. Even a Chinese-American company, FlexPai – anticipates lacasadipaola.it – launches its own first first smartphone-tablet which looks amazing. Foldable cell phones offer the advantage of double the images but with the same footprint as traditional ones. AND Sony “should” respond with its hyper-hitech Xperia perhaps with 5G.
Win the challenge of foldable displays it's vital for Samsung Electronics to maintain its lead in the shrinking global handset market, even more so since the company posted weaker earnings in the recent quarter. the expectations of the fabulous 5G which has an amazing connection speed but will not be operational on a mass level before 2020 even if Samsung, Huawei, One Plus and Google products will be seen with this equipment.
the cars, Kia in collaboration with MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, presents an obviously self-driving car, where the interior adapts to the passengers' mood with variations of colours, lights and music, perfumes….While Audi it will bring – reveals lacasadipaola.it – an entertainment format for passengers who evidently deprived of the pleasure of driving will have to be occupied with pleasant things.
EVERYTHING IN A CAPSULE: BITTA, COFFEE, WHISKEY AND ROSOIL
The diffusion of querulous second generation voice assistants with very advanced displays is inevitable, for gaming, all appliances, TVs, PCs…Amazone's Alexa, for example, will be in a Kohler mirror unveiled last year as a prototype for the IoT bathroom now available for around $XNUMX in the US market. It will tell us if dark circles or hair are disastrous, it will ask us whether to prepare the bath or shower or to start the espresso machine to prepare the coffee… In addition to the more banal reports of the day's news, the weather… or orders to give for the House. The novelty is that it is always connected with the voice to the rest of the bathroom fixtures the toilet that rises and falls according to the person's height and that he will soon have a voice. We don't know if it's fake news (hi-tech companies are specialists in announced and then "evaporated" bales) but we're giving it to you as the tech-addicted press is spreading it...
WHIRLPOOL'S RESEARCH WORLDWIDE
From the invitations received for special presentations – many – it could not be missing the smart home with Whirlpool, Amazon, Philips, Netgear. Netatmo was acquired by the European giant Legrand, which with the high-end Italian brand, BTicino, presents probably the most complete and advanced systems for the easy-to-govern smart and hyper-connected home. A higher level than the American average given that in the United States broadband is very uncertain….LG has launched a device that creates beer starting from a capsule, just as it happens for coffee and as it happens for devices that can create personalized cocktails with special liqueur capsules (even rosolio). But it has also increased the extra-luxury Signature Kitchen Suite collection. LG has made an agreement with Drop and, thanks to this agreement, in the kitchen it can happen that, once the right dish has been identified, the intelligent recipe is sent from the refrigerator to the oven which starts preheating… After cooking, the EasyClean function in the oven removes any food residues that may be there. Finally, the same smart recipe will inform the LG QuadWash dishwasher of the optimal setting to ensure spotless cleaning of the dishes.
Whirlpool, the world's leading producer of household appliances by value, just a few days ago communicated the results of a research – published as a preview on lacasadipaola.it – on what consumers around the world expect from an intelligent device. These are 2 homeowners and tenants who have communicated their wishes, starting first of all from the need for more efficiency, quick times and simplified checks. These requirements are also very important: reduction of water consumption and food waste and a cut in electricity consumption and costs. Of note, 2 out of 3 respondents are actively looking for products that are customizable. Based on this research and Whirlpool's commitment to smart technologies, they will be well 20 new products and new services presented at CES. A doubt remains in the face of AI applications in smart appliances and that is, whoever delivers and installs one of these sensational, highly intelligent appliances in homes today, what does he know beyond the rotations of the spin dryer, the decoder, the programmer or No Frost? In fact, the training of technicians and personnel is decidedly inadequate.
THE NEW LUXURY IS THE WELLNESS HOME
“Forget smart homes, the new goal is 'autonomous buildings'”, reads one of the Bibles of the digital world, Network World and one of the most significant innovations of CES 2019 and of the world building industry that the blog lacasadipaola.it fits into this trend anticipates. It's about Darwin, 1st hit-tech platform of the healthy house presented by Delos for the health of the house, fruit of 7 years of research. Already applied in luxury homes and many single-family residences in Beverly Hills, California, and with 1.000 projects in 35 countries, it focuses on four components: air filtration, water purification, circadian lighting and comfort-oriented technologies, which they simulate all external natural conditions. Based on Delos proprietary cloud-based algorithms, it uses algorithms to create spaces that help reduce stress, improve sleep quality, increase performance, and improve overall well-being. We'll hear about it from the big real estate developers and we'll talk about it too.
THE BOWL THAT MAKES PEACE BETWEEN DOG AND CAT
The Artificial Intelligence pet bowl by Italian Volta, which has recently won the Innovation Award at CES 2019 in the Smart Home category, is simply unique and also "pacifistic". Mookkie, that's his name, with his intelligence instilled by the researchers of one of the most advanced companies in AI, Volta, visually recognizes any type of animal and only offers it its food which – among other things – is stored correctly. So without the usual fights between dog and cat. Connected via App to the landlord's smartphone, Mookie provides information on feeding pets and on the need for periodic refills. "We are specialists in AI-centric objects - declares CEO Silvio Revelli - which, based on the needs of the user, know how to learn their needs and behaviors by constantly evolving". The technology of this system is extraordinary, based on a camera that processes a trillion operations per second for visual recognition, all concentrated in a beautiful bowl, with a typically elegant and functional Italian design. It can also be interfaced with one of the many speakers such as Amazon's Alexa for example, to dialogue with the landlord. Volta also brings other exceptional AI devices and services to CES and for those wishing to visit it, it is located in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center while Mookkie is exhibited at The Venetian Casino, Venetian Ballroom E/
