The conversation, and the eyeballs, at CES 2018 were beyond gadgets, and focused on what we at CMR, term as \u2018Appgets\u2019.<\/p>
At CMR, we have been tracking technology for three decades now, and we believe, this moment in history is pivotal. Until now, gadgets were ruling the roost, providing platforms to apps.<\/p>
This year, the primary focus at the CES was on the software applications, with gadgets trying to catch-up.<\/p>
Appgets represents an evolution of devices, with new devices springing out of apps. Such devices will be self-sufficient, and will not require the support of a smartphone.<\/p>
Some of the key characteristics underlying Appgets are that they are standalone, voice- and AI-enabled devices that sprung out of a tangibalization of an existing software application. Appgets have capabilities transcending traditional product boundaries, and offer customers, a richer and more unparalleled experience.<\/p>
Appgets benefit from the current technology and market conditions that are contributing to greater integration and convergence than ever before. Appgets benefit from advancements in the following domains:<\/p>
- Voice interfaces<\/li>
- Edge computing at the device level,<\/li>
- IoT\/Cognitive systems<\/li>
- Blockchains and<\/li>
- VR\/AR capabilities<\/li> <\/ul>
Appgets will lead to an evolution of technology interfaces, including interfaces that are deliberate, multisensory and\/or prediction-driven by a combination of voice, haptics, or using AR\/VR gesture commands.<\/p>

<\/p> Today, appgets touch human lives in many endless ways. Some of the most common examples of Appgets include speakers, headphones, watches, fitness\/activity trackers, smart thermostats, smart shoes, among others.<\/p>
At the CES 2018, we saw UnderArmor unveiling the Hovr Phantom and Hovr Sonic,<\/p>
focusing on design and performance first, and integrating tracking capabilities later on. Nissan debuted the \u201cbrain-to-vehicle\u201d interface that imparts semi-autonomous capabilities to its cars, or Harman showing off its MoodRoof, incorporating serene mood lighting.<\/p>
The most common Appget feature is Voice interfaces. Voice Interfaces impart the experience of \u201cbeing aware, and being in the know\u201d in a seamless, connected environment, anytime, anywhere. Voice interface was integrated into products of all types, at CES 2018, from Smart Glasses to In-Car Assistants, from Smart Thermostats to Speakers, from Showers to Toilets, among others.<\/p>
However, beyond the sights and sounds at CES, the key, immediate, defining struggle for Appgets is to gain supremacy over the smart homes. The centerpiece was of course the war between Google vs Amazon. Both are seeking to integrate their voice assistants into daily lives through a range of partners. For instance, Alexa is now connected and integrated with >4000 smart-home devices from >1000 brands, and having >30,000 voice apps. On the other hand, Google Home \u2013 the key challenger to Amazon Alexa, aims to spend 2018 in making its voice assistant, more conversational, and more integrated into human lives, imparting near ubiquitous strengths to it. The impending launch of Apple HomePod makes the battle all the more interesting for smart homes.<\/p>
Make no mistake. The future will be all about appgets. Appgets will be the new mainstream. What Appgets does sorely require is a unifying, all-pervasive operating system that integrates the software and hardware. The question is: Will Google be able to beat Amazon to win the race? Or, will Apple spring a late surprise?<\/p>
2019 will offer cues for us.<\/p>

最近在拉斯维加斯消费电子展(CES),看到> 3000家参展商展示有趣的和令人兴奋的,产品和解决方案,一个不断变化的世界。2018年版是非凡的大片公告比以前少,和公司提供相关产品的市场上更大的压力。由于near-uniformity智能手机品牌之间在形状,尺寸,设计和功能,智能手机的疲劳似乎已经真正在今年的国际消费电子展上。甚至可折叠的智能手机,所谓的下一个大“哇”趋势移动创新,在战斗中失踪。
在CES上谈话,眼球,2018人之外小工具CMR,关注我们,术语“Appgets”。
在CMR,我们一直在跟踪技术30年来,我们相信,这一刻在历史上是至关重要的。直到现在,电子设备,当家是提供平台应用程序。
今年,主要集中在CES是软件应用程序,gadget试图追赶。
Appgets代表着进化的设备,新设备应用中涌流出来。这样的设备将是自给自足的,不需要智能手机的支持。
底层Appgets的一些关键特征,他们是独立的,声音和AI-enabled设备源于tangibalization的现有的软件应用程序。Appgets有能力超越传统产品边界,和客户提供更加丰富和无与伦比的经验。
Appgets受益于当前技术和市场条件导致了比以往更大的集成和融合。Appgets受益于以下领域:进步
- 声音接口
- 边缘计算在设备层面,
- 物联网/认知系统
- Blockchains和
- VR / AR功能
Appgets将导致一个进化的技术接口,包括故意的接口,多种感觉的和/或prediction-driven组合的声音,触觉,或使用AR / VR手势命令。
今天,appgets触摸生命在许多没完没了的方式。Appgets的一些最常见的例子包括扬声器,耳机,手表、健身/活动追踪器,智能恒温器,智能鞋等等。
在CES 2018年,我们看到UnderArmor揭幕Hovr幽灵和Hovr声波,
专注于设计和性能第一,和集成跟踪能力。日产推出“brain-to-vehicle”界面,传授其汽车半自治能力,或哈曼炫耀其MoodRoof,把平静的心情照明。
最常见的Appget特性是语音接口。声音接口传授的经验“知道”意识到,在一个无缝的,连接的环境,随时随地。语音界面集成到各种类型的产品,2018年在国际消费电子展上,从智能眼镜到车内助理,从智能恒温器到扬声器,淋浴和厕所等。
然而,超出了周围的景物与声音,在国际消费电子展上,关键,立即,定义Appgets斗争是在智能家居取得优势。课程的核心是谷歌和亚马逊之间的战争。都是寻求他们的语音助手融入日常生活中通过一系列的合作伙伴。例如,Alexa现在连接和集成了从1000年> > 4000智能设备品牌,和> 30000语音应用程序。另一方面,谷歌——挑战者亚马逊Alexa的关键目标是花2018在其语音助理,更多的对话,更融入人类生活,传授附近无处不在的优势。即将推出的苹果HomePod使战斗更有趣的智能家居。
毫无疑问。未来将appgets。Appgets将成为新的主流。什么Appgets迫切需要一个统一的,无孔不入的操作系统,集成了软件和硬件。问题是:谷歌能够打败亚马逊赢得比赛?或者,将苹果春天一个惊喜?
2019年将为我们提供线索。
