pretending doing an exhaustive work but my

try is to share 2 or 3 key facts with you.

These things are about to be everywhere, in every pocket.

Small and cheap, this technology (BLE) helps everyone to find

back anything from your keys to your car.

The french Ticatag even plugged it into glasses with ATOL

Some wearables – such as rings – are quite a new kind of remote

to control another device (smartphone, laptop…), or your close

environment (lights, speakers…)

2015 will undeniably be the year of wearables. To be more specific, the year of smartwatches, according

to the amazing number of exhibitors, price driven, mostly from Asia…

Note : at CES 2015 (january) the Apple Watch wasn’t already released (april)

Obviously the most impressive “smart object”, driverless cars were the

main attraction of this CES. The Mercedes F015 Luxury in Motion is

nothing else but a dive in what the automotive industry is becoming

3D PRINTING

ONCE AGAIN, NOTHING NEW BUT A BIGGER MARKET WITH MORE AND MORE

MANUFACTURERS BOTH OF PRINTERS AND SCANNERS, MAKING « MAKERS » MORE MAINSTREAM…

This VOXEL8 printer is a new way to print an end-to-end product

including electronics, just like this mini drone. Watch the video.

Just scan your face to become a superhero… or just yourself

« ROBOLUTION »

SOME OF US ARE AFRAID ABOUT ROBOTICS. IN ONE HAND ROBOTS

SEEM COMPLICATED, VERY TECHNOLOGICAL, AND ON THE OTHER HAND, THEY ARE

SEEN AS THREATS IN POP-CULTURE (TERMINATOR, I-ROBOT…).

BUT WHAT I SAW IN CES 2015 LETS ME GUESS THAT ROBOTICS IS ABOUT TO

GET INSIDE OUR HOUSE THANKS TO… OUR KIDS !

I MET A BUNCH OF VERY INTERESTING GAMES THAT WILL TRANSFORM CHILDREN INTO PROGRAMMERS OR ENGINEERS

3FRENCH TOUCH

&

FRENCH TECH

OF COURSE, THIS CES WILL ALSO BE AN UNFORGETTABLE SADLY SOUVENIR FOR FRENCH PEOPLE, BECAUSE OF THE CHARLIE HEBDO ATTACK.

BEING SO FAR AT THIS EXTREMELY SHOCKING MOMENT WAS SO PAINFULL.

BUT WE SPONTANEOUSLY GATHERED OURSELVES TO SHOW OUR SUPPORT AND TO

STRUGGLE OUR SORROW TOGETHER.
