Each year, the world\u2019s most innovative companies come together under one roof for a four-day techfest, intended to showcase the most groundbreaking developments in technology across all sectors.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has generated hundreds of headlines this week, and it has a long history, providing\u00a0the first look at an array of revolutionary technology since its first run in 1967.<\/p>\n
From the compact disk to driverless cars, CES gives the world a peek at the newest ideas in tech.<\/p>\n
That said, some additions to the show\u2019s roster might seem less than revolutionary.<\/p>\n
Many products across the floor are concept devices, like\u00a0Sony\u2019s paper thin E-Ink\u00a0watch<\/a>, or Honda\u2019s self-balancing motorbike<\/a>, but some are ready to hit the market and make a difference \u2013 here are the gadget deets you need to catch up on:<\/p>\n Is your smartphone feeling lonely? Do you need another tiny computer to slide in your pocket?<\/p>\n Look no further, because Intel\u2019s latest product unveiled at CES has you covered.<\/p>\n The 5.5 cm by 9.5 cm device is called the \u201cCompute Card\u201d and features wifi, storage, memory, a fully fledged processor, and an input\/output port.<\/p>\n Intel is touting the device as a way to make \u201cdumb\u201d machines (like fridges or vending machines) smart.<\/p>\n However, for the everyday user, the Compute Card holds other benefits.<\/p>\n Because it contains all the functionality of a computer, plugging the card into a monitor and keyboard \u201cdock\u201d would allow users to carry their data around like they would with a laptop, minus the bulk and weight.<\/p>\n US-based\u00a0accessibility\u00a0company Whill has designed a wheelchair that allows users to use one chair both inside and outside.<\/p>\n With a patented omni-wheel design, the Whill Model M takes up about as much space as a standard wheelchair, with vastly improved manoeuvrability.<\/p>\nIntel\u2019s credit card-sized computer<\/h3>\n
The wheelchair of the future<\/h3>\n
