The most spectacular thing I saw in CES?
Probably these balls. 4k version coming... Later this week.
LG's Massive OLED TV Demo signals end of 3D Fad
For years LG has been dazzing CES attendees with massive 3D displays and performances. Everybody had 3D this and 3D that. Many promised 3D without those dorky glasses, and last year it looked like it might just be the ticket. This year, LG got rid of the massive 3D visuals, and just gave us good old fashion awesome CG visuals, sound, and color.
Personally, I've watched Avatar - that was cool. I'm sure I watched a few more 3D movies in theatre since, but I don't remember what and if it was worthwhile. Didn't watch Star Wars in 3D, and it wasn't a deal breaker in any way.
I also have a 3D monitor, which just happened to be 3D capable but there wasn't enough compeling me to set it up for 3D.
It was widely known the porn industry pushes the envelope when it comes to video technologies, and this year it looks like the porn industry is also going towards VR. So, VR looks to be the trend for this year, and the next few from what I saw at this year's CES. VR and drones, and autonomous vehicles.

Basically its a piece of glass. I had to shift my camera angle to one side so that you can even see it there in the following picture.
And here is what it looks from the front at an angle - beautiful!
