Previously, Lei Technology has made a detailed preview of this CES, with "AI" as the main theme, discussing the new technologies and new products that Samsung, NVIDIA, Sony and other brands will release or disclose at the exhibition. In addition, we also sent a professional reporting team represented by "One Tianming" to Las Vegas, USA, to observe and experience these "new things" at the venue.
Before the official opening of CES, senior editor "One Tianming" participated in the preview event and experienced some interesting new products on site. Follow our perspective and join the senior editors on site for a "close encounter" with the latest in technology before CES 2024.
I'll answer what you want to know about the preview
1. Are there many manufacturers participating in the preview, and how many Chinese manufacturers are there?
Judging from the on-site observation, there are not many manufacturers participating in the preview, but there are not many of them.
According to the exhibition location map, there are roughly 174 companies participating in the preview, including 16 from China, but considering that some Chinese brands may have different logos for their overseas business, there may be more Chinese manufacturers than we see.
There are also many familiar brands from Chinese manufacturers participating in the preview, such as Dreame, Laifen, XGIMI and Time Kettle.

2. What are the interesting products at the preview?
In addition to the aforementioned Leifen, Dreame and Timemaker, there were many brands focusing on the field of digital health at the preview showcased their new technologies and products.
If I had to pick one of my favorite products, it would probably be a wireless electronic medical implant from CEA, France. The device can wirelessly detect potential activity on the surface of the brain and wirelessly transmit the information to an external decoder in real time to learn more about the patient.

It is worth mentioning that 10minds' anti-snoring smart pillow is also a very interesting product, as its name suggests, its biggest role is "anti-snoring". And this product has also been awarded the Gold Award for Innovation, and those who are interested in learning more can continue to pay attention to the relevant reports of Lei Technology.
3. Which field has the most exhibitors in this year's exhibition?
Judging from the preview, there are the most manufacturers in the fields of smart home, cleaning and digital health.
Of course, the theme of this year's CES is "AII Together, AII On", which shows that "AI" is the core topic of this exhibition, and most of the products brought by manufacturers are also related to it. For example, Timekettle's AI simultaneous interpretation TWS earphones are products combined with "AI".

But the competition among CES companies is also quite fierce, just like Acer, which released a number of PC products before it was launched, and LG couldn't wait to participate in the preview, showing its main thin and light notebook product LG Gram and the new monitor with fish screen.
In the early publicity, Nvidia and Samsung both announced that they will hold themed events at the official CES 2024 exhibition, and the former also prepared a keynote speech to discuss the development direction of AI technology. The other part is the smart tram, Kia, Volkswagen, Xpeng and Honda and other car companies will disclose more technical details after the launch, interested partners can pay attention to Lei Technology MCN's focus on smart travel-related accounts "Tram Pass" to learn more about the latest technologies and products related to smart trams at CES 2024.
4. What AI-related products are available in the preview?
In fact, there are not too many manufacturers participating in the preview, but there are some brands with great potential, such as Time Kettle and 10minds.
Timekettle X1 is a simultaneous interpretation headset focusing on AI, under the wave of artificial intelligence, the application of technology in the field of simultaneous interpretation is quite a good application direction. In the foreseeable future, with the increasing popularity of international travel, many travel enthusiasts will no longer need to worry about language barriers, which is a simple, easy, and positive way of changing their lives.

10minds' "Motion Pillow" is also a product based on "AI", and the built-in motion system can collect the user's sleep data, analyze and evaluate the user's snoring, and then use the design of physical devices such as airbag enhancement to help the user alleviate the corresponding symptoms. Smart bedding is also a very popular category in recent years, a series of products such as smart beds and smart pillows are entering thousands of households, and with the help of AI, they have become more "smart" and reduce the burden of learning Xi users.
What are the new trends to look forward to tomorrow?
AI is the theme of this year's CES, and judging from today's preview, there are already quite a few related products on display.
But the main event is yet to come.
Samsung and LG, two giants in the display field, will respectively exhibit their products with "fully transparent" designs. Samsung will exhibit the first fully transparent MicroLED display at CES 2024, and according to its official description, the application of MicroLED materials can make this display achieve higher brightness.

If you want to talk about some interesting new products, then Flappie's smart cat door has to be mentioned.
Flappie's smart cat door is mainly for the convenience of pet families, especially when these pets want to bring in some "strange" prey from outside the house, the purpose of the smart cat door is to isolate these prey, but the pets can still enter and exit freely.
In terms of smart travel, Mercedes-Benz will exhibit a new artificial intelligence assistant at CES 2024, and its official statement is that "the emergence of artificial intelligence assistants can allow car owners to know the answers and suggestions to all questions while holding the steering wheel, which is the development direction of intelligent driving in the future."

Write at the end
The preview is the "appetizer" of the CES exhibition, and it is also an excellent opportunity for some non-leading manufacturers.
In the preview of CES 2024, we saw many innovative key products from Chinese brands, such as Leifen's electric toothbrushes, XGIMI's projectors, and Dreame's sweeping robots. In addition, there are also many products focusing on the field of smart health, such as Motion Pillow of 10minds.
Perhaps, after the official launch, the global focus will be on the latest technologies and products of leading companies such as Intel, NIVIDIA, Samsung, and Sony, but it is undeniable that the technological innovation of these "small factories" is also worth paying attention to.
Next, Lei Technology will continue to pay attention to the latest developments of CES 2024, follow our perspective, and participate in this world-famous science and technology feast.
