A recap and insights from CES 2014 from the Cake Group and Havas Media: includes insights around wearable technology; 4K displays, robotics; the connected home the intersection of fashion & tech; connected cars; immersive entertainment and tech marketers.
The pace of change in advertising and consumer behavior continues to be frantic and to accelerate, so our annual trip to CES in Las Vegas continues to remind us how, in relative terms, hardware changes more slowly than both software and our expectations. In fact, CES in 2016 didn’t show a revolution in electronics and consumer products, but more of an evolution. The products were similar yet faster, thinner, cheaper and above all else, more connected.
This moment feels like the early stages of a new era, a time when all products are becoming cloud connected, touch screens are everywhere, and all media is digital. Yet it’s not quite the Internet of things — it’s the interim of things. We don’t yet have a complete smart home, we have sophisticated homes that sometimes don’t quite work. We have 3D printers without totally compelling use cases, and robotic body parts that don’t quite make a full humanoid.
The companies succeeding are those that are innovating and collaborating to solve real consumer needs, while staying true to a clear brand purpose. From artificial intelligence and cognitive computing, to drone technologies, virtual reality and biometric sensing, to 8k video and 360 surround sound, there are tremendous opportunities on the horizon.
Please read on to view the ten themes that make up this moment in time.

Below is my recap for CES 2016. I distilled the event into 6 strategic territories:
1) The New Reality - This section outlines the various virtual reality offerings presented
2) 3D Everything - A look at the advancements in 3D printing & scanning
3) Beyond Screens - This is a comprehensive look at new forms of computing and ways to connect with consumers with light
4) Accessories that Empower - A key factor in digital growth has been the creation of systems that empower consumers to create, be it images, videos, etc... This section focuses on the next evolution of accessories that will empower the creation of immersive experiences.
5) Smarter Home - There is an arms race to be the primary hub for the smart home. This section provides examples from Lowe's, LG and others who are working to connect IoT systems and the profitable ecosystem of sensors that accompany it
6) Intelligent Robotics - Emotive robotics and artificial intelligence will fundamentally change consumer behavior. This is a recap of intelligent robotic systems that were on display at CES 2016.
Last week, nearly 200,000 people gathered in Las Vegas at the 50th annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) to discover revolutionary products and transformational technologies that will have a significant impact on the evolving customer experience.
In a great collaboration between Havas Creative Group and Havas Media Group, we've put together a CES 2017 takeaways deck covering the most groundbreaking inventions, the most influential trends, and what they all mean for brands, marketers, and consumers.
Our industry has talked about autonomous driving for years now. But that concept expands to what I think is the most fascinating part of this year’s Consumer Electronics Show: autonomous living.
It’s the idea that technology can tell us what we need—and help us get it—before we even realize it. Amazon’s Alexa has served as the ultimate gateway, with millions in sales this year.
Ultimately, the world of autonomous living is getting here faster than a lot of people predicted. And that means marketers need to get to work.
When all is said and done, as marketers our goal for connecting with consumers starts with identifying and creating the right value exchange, and then ensuring that we adapt our interactions around right time, right place. Autonomous living can and will take
that to the next level. And perhaps the most exciting thing about it is this: with all the advancements we’ve already seen, this is still just the beginning.

Mobile is NOT a Channel - Rob Griffin at IMMAP Summit, 2012Havas Media
Rob Griffin, EVP Product Development at Havas Digital, spoke recently at the IMMAP Summit & emphasised 3 clear takeaways-
1. Mobile is Now, and you must know that. Embrace a Mobile First approach to all marketing and communications efforts.
2. Accept the multiplicity of the device. Mobile devices are consumers' constant companions and central to their daily lives.
3. Activate and Engage! Take full advantage of mobile's greater capabilities to engage in real time.
Instead of thinking about mobile as an advertising channel, it is more important to view it as an access point for consumers- hence the urgent need for everything to be mobile enabled from the start. Mobile Internet user growth is projected to hit 3.5billion in 2015- how are you positioning your brand to take advantage of this revolution?

Try to name an industry that is not threatened by tech disruption. Our 2020 vision for consumer, media and technology trends is centred in our belief that the marketplace is increasingly converging around the global tech-giant ecosystems.
Many of the trends that we will comment upon are the ripple effects of the diversification of these platforms away from their original specialism.
The more lines of business the big platforms develop the more complex they become – and the further the ripple effects travel into the economy and society.
Our driving trend for 2020 is entitled ‘Colliding Ecosystems’. It reflects the points made above about the expansion of and ultimately heightened competition between the big tech-platforms.

StoryTech's CES 2015 Recap for MarketersAndy Maskin
At CES 2015 we saw an explosion of technologies aligned with what we call a meta-trend, "The Internet of Me." Within this idea are rapidly developing technology trends that will change the way we live our lives in the years to come. There are trends directly related to content consumption and mindshare, which has an obvious and direct impact on the way marketers reach and influence consumers. There are also trends that will ignite fascinating lifestyle changes for consumers, powered by new technologies.These trends challenge marketers to get creative about how to reach consumers, perhaps influencing them by becoming part of their lives and enabling real utility.
Last week an estimated 80,000 makers, thinkers and innovators gathered for Mobile World Congress (MWC) held in Barcelona, to experience the newest technologies and mobile products from around the world.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

SOUND DESIGN
In recent years, entertainment experiences have been
focused solely on picture quality, but this year it became
apparent that audio technology has come to the forefront.
Leading this charge is Dolby, who wants to add a sense of
height to the at-home surround sound experience. Outside
of the at-home viewing experience, Dolby has also been
working with brands like Qualcomm’s Snapdragon to bring
this technology to mobile devices as well.

FASHION & TECHNOLOGY
Technology has become so ingrained in our daily lives
that many people would say that the technology they
use is a reflection of their identity. This has made the
aesthetics of tech devices even more important.
This has become apparent as more and more lifestyle and
fashion brands are coming out with tech accessory lines.
This trend has also given rise to a partnership between
Tory Burch and Fitbit, who are coming together to create
jewelry pieces that can accommodate the Fitbit tracker,
allowing consumers to stylishly capture their data.

ROBOTICS
Modern robotics has seen a surge within its most
practical applications, home cleaning. Innovations in this
space include Moneual’s light detection, which performs
concentrated cleaning in areas that don’t receive direct
light such as underneath furniture. Winbot is trying to
revolutionize the often-dreaded task of window cleaning;
their device scans and calculates the size of your windows,
and then creates a customized path to clean them.
But with Parrot releasing its’ affordable Minidrone,
2014 might also see more consumer adoption of
aviation-focused robotics as well.

CONNECTED HOME
The connected home is not a new idea, but companies now
seem more focused on making their devices more userfriendly. For instance, LG’s HomeChat is an SMS based
program that allows you to chat with your appliances using
natural, language commands. The GE Brillion App allows you
to control your heating devices remotely, whereas before, you
would have to be connected to your home wifi network.
But perhaps the most talked about innovation was from
Belkin, who unveiled their new connected crock-pot.

DATA
While connected cars and connected homes contribute
to the “Internet of Everything” trend, data is truly at the
core of this movement. Cisco is leading the data charge,
helping companies make sense of all this date and the
issues that come along with its collection.
Security, privacy, analytics; these are all factors
that brands need to consider when developing their
products. As consumers look for practical application to
connected devices, brands need help navigating
this complex landscape.

WEARABLES
Wearables have been a dominant trend in tech for the past
few years, but this year, the convention floor saw many
more applications beyond just fitness. Brands like Sony
unveiled life trackers that monitor your social behavior,
as well as your physical activity. Other devices monitor
time spent with your pets, your baby’s crying, and even
headbands that track your brainwaves.

CONNECTED CARS
The connected car has seen major innovations, the first
being mobile device integration rather than building the
technology into the car itself. This integration allows
brands to be more flexible and nimble with updates, as
mobile innovation happens so much faster than car model
development. There’s also been experimentation with
linking your connected home and car together, controlling
your home during your commute.
And the ability to interact with your vehicle might become
easier thanks to innovation in driverless car technology.
Several brands, such as BMW and Audi,
showed prototypes.

THE CURVE
The shape of CES 2014 was the curve. Samsung showed
off the world’s largest curved TV, while LG showed us
their curved “Flex” phone. Many are questioning the
practicality of having a curved TV in their homes, as the
shape lends itself more to large displays, combining
numerous TVs together.
Panasonic showed a prototype for a display consisting of
panels that are both concave and convex, opening up the
door for further shape innovation in coming years.
Curved mobile devices seem to be more practical for
creating a single-person, “cocoon” of entertainment.

IMMERSIVE ENTERTAINMENT
In recents years, manufacturers have become focused
on creating immersive entertainment experiences, from
4K picture to glasses free 3D; the battle for consumers’
attention is heating up. As your home entertainment starts
to mirror the all-encompassing environment of a movie
theatre, how does the distraction of your mobile device
start to hinder your experience vs. enhance it?
Brands like TiVo are making advancements in delivering
multiple forms of content onto a single device (i.e.
your television). Providing complimentary content and
experiences that relate to your entertainment choice are
more important than ever.

TECH MARKETERS
There were more marketing professionals at CES this year
than ever before. Technology companies are actively looking
for help in how to both market their products as well as
how their innovation can find practical applications in
consumers’ lives. As marketers become more interested in
technology, and technologists start to think like marketers,
the consumer will surely rise to the top.
