The technology on show at CES 2016 was simply mind-blowing. With over 170 000 participants and more than 3000 exhibitors, this year’s event was certainly bigger than anything we’ve ever seen before.
We met loads of brand new startups and stared wide-eyed at a range of gadgets but without a doubt, the main themes at this year’s CES were autonomous cars, electric cars, virtual/augmented reality, IoT, 4K, mobile integration and drones, drones…and more drones.
