26 Observations From CES 2018 – SOSV: Inspiration from Acceleration – Medium

There was no dominant theme. As for classics: basic smartwatches and trackers were barely there (those markets are too mature already), AR/VR seemed to be entering a new phase, with practical applications (mostly B2B, from surgery to manufacturing), and drones are… too 2015. Compared to previous years, most booth designs and brands looked neat. CES is the Consumer Electronics Show, but B2B was definitely on the rise. Products tend to be less flashy but address a true business problem. Note that "wow" products are not necessarily good business.
