The world's largest consumer electronics show, CES, has kicked off in Las Vegas. The show is famous for the release of literally thousands of the latest tech products.
It's being called the world's fair of innovation. Roughly 200,000 people are expected to stop by CES venues this year.

"The list of CEO's from Fortune 500 companies, the head of every major retailer will be here," said Gary Shapiro, president & CEO, Consumer Technology Association.
"So many auto companies are here because everyone's a technology company, everyone wants to see the trends and all the marketers are here because they want to see the interplay between content and technologies."
That interplay is happening with old guard tech titans like Sony, which is partnering with a more youthful brand.
Youtube is providing spaces equipped with Sony High-resolution 4K cameras to allow amateurs to produce professional quality videos.
"In the last year alone, over 25 billion hours of 4K content got viewed on YouTube. And that number is exploding now. So, we're really excited where it's heading, and once you see 4K it's really hard to go back," said Lucas Watson, VP, Global Brand Solutions, Youtube.
"Sony is taking connectivity to all areas of your life. Like when I go to sleep, I can use this to control that light bulb which produces stereo sound. And that glass speaker actually vibrates to create 360 degrees of sound," CCTV reporter Mark Niu said.
And, Sony's new projector can project an 80-inch image almost anywhere.

Chinese tech companies are also making a big impression on the CES stage. Huawei unveiled four new products, including two new smartwatches for women and the Mate8 smartphone, which claims a battery life of more than two days.
"We are investing for the Consumer Business group about 70 percent of our head count for R&D. It's quite unique. It's a very R&D driven kind of company. So there are so many innovations," said Glory Cheung, Chief Marketing Officer, Huawei Consumer BG.
Chinese companies are present at CES not only in greater numbers, but also in a wider product spectrum - everything from phones to drones to TV's and much, much more.
