Companies like Hyundai may showcase their interest in humanoid robots and other robotic technologies.
CES remains a major showcase for computer displays. Currently, Samsung, ASUS, and MSI have all launched the "world's first" 4-inch 240K OLED display with a 27Hz refresh rate ahead of the conference.
Given the development of generative AI technology and the successive release of smart assistant features by Google, Amazon, and Apple, the favored smart home appliance industry is also expected to welcome a wave of "new products." Currently, LG has released relevant news, and Samsung is expected to announce its latest developments on Monday.
After the hype brought by the buzz, extended reality (XR) products have proven to still have room for improvement. The current industry situation is that Vision Pro has not "taken off" as Apple expected, and no competitor has been able to rival Meta's flagship VR headset product, Quest. Leading companies like HTC and Magic Leap have basically shifted their focus to enterprise applications
