Some of the best tech we see at CES feels pulled straight from sci-fi. Yesterday at CES 2025, I tested out Neural Lab's AirTouch technology, which lets you interact with a display using hand gestures alone, exactly what movies like Minority Report and Iron Man promised. Of course, plenty of companies have delivered on varying forms of gesture control. Microsoft's Kinect is an early example while the Apple Watch's double tap feature and Vision Pro's pinch gestures are just two of many current iterations. But I was impressed with how well AirTouch delivered and, unlike most gesture technology out there, it requires no special equipment -- just a standard webcam -- and works with a wide range of devices.

Content is always king, if you were to ask any seasoned media professional or publishing company. Whether the content is in the form of a movie, music album or digital news article, it has to be compelling to make the consumer want to spend time on it. At the same time, many companies are also realising that great content has to be distributed as widely as possible, and be personalised to the right audiences to capture their attention in today's competitive, on-demand world. To make their content travel as far as possible and gain as many readers or viewers as possible, these companies could do with a helping hand from artificial intelligence (AI). AsiaOne recently partnered AI company Neural Lab to create an automated personalised article recommender based on smart AI algorithms.
