The Continuum of Innovation beyond the Int’l CES 2013, Section 2 (Photos)

The fun part, before, during, and after the Int’l CES, involved the exposure to such a wide array of technological products. At first blush, it can seem overwhelming. But, if you put into a simpler context, these products now exist; and someone or some group has a need and will use them. Accordingly, it creates business opportunities, both from a primary and secondary effect, beyond the ‘WOW’ factor.

Again, the listing is in no particular order. The Olive ONE plays your favorite music all over your home, wirelessly, (http://www.indiegogo.com/); Replicator 2 desktop 3D printing, (http://www.makerbot.com/); iLectric Piano, a studio-quality electric piano app for iPad, (http://www.ilectricpiano.com/); VAM (Video Asset Management) VA003-6E Tower and VA308-8E Rackmount, the complete media archiving storage solution, (http://www.sansdigital.com); OnBeat-X1, a Bluetooth gaming speaker, (http://www.divoom.com/); ChromaID captures the unique spectral signature of everyday substances, (http://www.visualant.net/index.html); Power2U is an AC/USB wall outlet for powering and charging USB devices, (http://www.newertech.com/); BlueVIBE FIT, a water-resistant, wireless Bluetooth sports headset, (http://www.accessorypower.com/); Jabra Speak 510, a wireless speakerphone for use with both smartphones and softphones via a dongle, (http://jabra.com/); the loop loft gift cards, as the name implies, is a means to purchase their multitrack sessions of the best musicians recorded, (http://thelooploftcom/); iRig BlueBoard, a Bluetooth MIDI pedalboard for a iPhone, iPad, and Mac, (www.irigblueboard.com); Valencia Jeggings, tech pants for women that accommodates a smartphone, (http://www.alphynindustries.com/); V-Spot uses the power of voice to access and manage music and videos, internet radio and online music, (www.myvoco.com); EZIO Bluetooth 4.0 Smart Watch, as suggested, links your phone and watch, giving alerts on the watch to incoming calls and messages, (www.eziolifestyle.com).

From Section 1 and now 2, it reinforces the notion that the growth of innovation is becoming even larger. And this is still a very small part of the entire equation. Expect to see a 3rd section, as the list continues.
