CES is still equal parts mainstream tech that you can buy soon, and futuristic tech that looks amazing but won’t necessarily hit the market for some time.
InWith’s smart contact lens falls firmly on the latter camp – although I really hope it ends up in my eyes before long. Billed as “potentially the most advanced platform for viewing the next metaverse,” it will apparently offer “adjustable vision” via a mobile device and “augmented vision” – which sounds appropriately Cyberpunk-esque to turn me on.
InWith says he plans to get breakthrough clearance from the FDA this year and bring the lenses to market shortly thereafter, so I will look with interest (through my unfortunately unintelligent contact lenses).
We were fortunate enough to get a glimpse of several new products ahead of their reveal at CES 2022, and the Alienware Concept Nyx was one of our favorites.
This is best viewed as a cloud gaming service like Xbox Game Pass, Google Stadia, or Nvidia GeForce Now – but a service that streams locally through a central server in your home.
We were impressed with this in our Alienware Concept Nyx demo, the Concept Nyx’s ability to simultaneously stream two different games on one TV was a highlight. We will be interested to see how this evolves over time.
If we were to pick just one highlight from Samsung’s 2022 lineup, it would have to be the first MicroLED TV that can fit into your home.
Granted, at 89 inches the new Samsung MicroLED TV isn’t much small, but it’ll be a lot easier to find room than last year’s 99 and 110-inch models, not to mention the first 146-inch version of The Wall TV. from 2019.
Size aside, the MicroLED TV promises to be a nice addition to Samsung’s 2022 lineup. It has a million micro-sized LEDs, offering a 10% wider color offering, and is also expected to have improved audio performance thanks to support for Dolby Atmos and Object Tracking Sound Pro.
Samsung has already been busy showing off its entire 2022 TV lineup.
There are far too many highlights to list here, but the 2022 lineup covers everything from new 8K and 4K Neo QLED sets to a new McroLED TV, updated versions of The Frame lifestyle TV, and updates to the platform. Samsung Smart TV form. Even Samsung’s Eco remote is getting a refresh.
