As technology entrepreneurs and major manufacturers gather for the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Matt Warman outlines the top three things that you should expect at the "jamboree".
Wearable technology, connected home technology and a "plethora of smaller and better tablets and phones" are the things to look out for at this year's CES, according
to The Telegraph's Technology Editor Matt Warman.
'Bio-tracking socks' by Heapsylon are the most outlandish example of a host of 'wearable technologies' that are to be unveiled at the show in Las Vegas this week.
While the majority will be watches and fitness trackers that integrate with mobile phones to offer users easier access to information, the show will also see the launch of an internet-connected toothbrush.
The Kolibree, developed in Paris, claims that its analysis of users' brushing habits, displayed again via a smartphone app, will allow people to improve their dental hygiene and consequently improve dental health. The $99 device will go on sale later this year, and claims it will "tell you whether you brushed long enough and reached the hard-to-reach but important parts of your teeth and gums".
Connected home technology will also be a big thing at the exhibition, says Matt Warman, with Samsung unveiling its Smart Home, a service which connects Smart TVs, home appliances and smartphones together and is managed by an integrated platform.
Finally, he suggests that technology enthusiasts should expect to see a new "plethora" of smartphones and tablets being unveiled. Sony is rumoured to be unveiling a new mini version of its Z1 mobile phone.
