LAS VEGAS – This year, CES Las Vegas was, as Donald Trump says, HUGE. More than 200,000 visitors from around the world came here to see the latest innovations and consumer products. Since there were so many companies presenting, the events took place in several locations simultaneously, which demanded quite a bit of time and effort to get to them all.A number of great Israeli and international companies participated in the show this year. Here are my top picks from the event:Humavox Humavox’s technology enables a wide variety of household containers, such as cup holders, drawers and boxes, to be transformed into a wireless charging station. Simply toss your Humavox-enabled fitness band into a box and charging begins. This year at CES, Humavox will bring wireless charging to life with an interactive demonstration that will visually and physically present how wireless charging can integrate seamlessly into our daily lives in every way imaginable at home, the office and outdoors.InfinityAR InfinityAR has pioneered its solution for augmented- reality headsets and is now bringing its inside-out marker-less orientation and positional tracking into the virtual-reality world. InfinityAR’s inside-out simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) solution for VR headsets is based on over-the-counter RGB stereo cameras and low-cost inertial measurement units (IMU). InfinityAR’s engine enables vendors of VR headsets to reduce their cost, reduce motion to photon latency and reduce power consumption by way of using the inside-out orientation and positional tracking approach.“We are proud to extend our AR algorithms and engine to the VR world,” InfinityAR CEO Motti Kushnir said. “Our advancements in technology allow the VR community to enjoy more affordable and more powerful headsets, opening up the mass market so that everyone now has a chance to experience the world of AR and VR.”GiropticThe world’s first full high-definition 360-degree camera, cam 360, is prepped and ready for the emergence of virtual reality.
