2016國(guó)際消費(fèi)電子展剛剛落下帷幕,以下是本屆展會(huì)的部分看點(diǎn):
1. Netflix stunned the show with the announcement that it added 130 new countries and regions for its streaming TV service to bring its total to 190, calling it "the birth of a new global Internet TV network."

India will be one of the new markets for Netflix, which is still studying ways to get into the Chinese mainland.

這批手機(jī)將于今年晚些時(shí)候在全球發(fā)布,旨在推進(jìn)智能機(jī)更新?lián)Q代。新一代智能機(jī)將有室內(nèi)測(cè)繪、增強(qiáng)現(xiàn)實(shí)等功能。
3. The 4K high-definition television format became the standard base for manufacturers, which showcased thinner and more spectacular displays for those willing to pay the price.
4K分辨率(3840*2160)成為高清電視廠家生產(chǎn)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)配置。雖然價(jià)格較貴,但4K電視更為輕薄,畫質(zhì)也更加華麗。
The Consumer Technology Association, the trade group behind CES, said one in every five televisions sold this year is expected to be 50 inches or more, measured diagonally, and feature ultra high-definition 4K resolution.
國(guó)際電子消費(fèi)展所屬的消費(fèi)者技術(shù)協(xié)會(huì)預(yù)估,今年售出的20%的電視尺寸將為50英寸或更大(對(duì)角尺寸),分辨率也將達(dá)到4K超高清。

可穿戴技術(shù)能進(jìn)一步收集健康數(shù)據(jù),并開始滲透到醫(yī)學(xué)領(lǐng)域:為用戶進(jìn)行健康診斷,甚至可提供小病小痛的治療方案。智能鞋可記錄用戶的步程,而智能襯衫能測(cè)量心率。
French-based health group VisioMed introduced its Bewell Connect virtual checkup through a smartphone app that communicates with its connected blood pressure and glucose monitor, thermometer and blood oxygen sensor.

7. Virtual reality spread beyond video games to touch sex, sports, sales and space exploration. Facebook-owned Oculus began taking pre-orders for its eagerly-anticipated Rift VR headsets at a price of $599, and CES was rife with companies scrambling to field competing devices or content that could draw people into faux worlds.
虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)突破了電子游戲的局限,開始應(yīng)用在成人玩具、運(yùn)動(dòng)、銷售和太空探索領(lǐng)域。臉書旗下的Oculus即將推出備受矚目的虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)頭盔Rift VR,預(yù)售價(jià)599美元。國(guó)際電子消費(fèi)展擠滿了生產(chǎn)類似設(shè)備和產(chǎn)品的公司,這些公司爭(zhēng)相布局競(jìng)爭(zhēng)性產(chǎn)品、進(jìn)行相關(guān)宣傳,吸引人們走進(jìn)虛擬世界。
