CES is one trade show that is nearly impossible to see in its entirety but, from what we did see, here’s what we think is the Best of CES 2017. This Best of CES 2017 is an eclectic collection of technology, ranging from a smartphone to a smart convection oven. These are products we were genuinely interested in, some are pretty mind-blowing while others are just cool. Over the coming year we hope to bring you more on these products, from reviews to just simple updates on how they’re doing. So now, in no particular order, the Techaeris Best of CES 2017.

Lenovo 500 Multimedia Controller
Rapid, sophisticated evolution in home entertainment has led to a challenge few foresaw: the need for an innovative device that integrates, controls and ultimately makes the most of all that change.
Last year, the explosive growth of Internet-enabled smart TVs officially outpaced their conventional TV counterparts, with more than half of TV sets shipped being smart TVs.1 Meanwhile, the meteoric rise of 4K TVs has some analysts predicting that as many as one-third of US homes will own a 4K TV by 2019.2 Today’s consumers want a complete multimedia experience that makes the most of large-screen displays, high-performance PCs, interactive technologies and everything the Internet and content providers have to offer.
Using feedback from those same frustrated consumers, our team built the Lenovo 500 Multimedia Controller, a state-of-the-art wireless keyboard and mouse that fits in the palm of your hand. The controller dramatically improves not just the way homeowners connect to their PCs, the web and displays, but re-defines the very notion of how a compact, Human Interface Device (HID) should look, feel and function.

All day, every day, people are bombarded by sound. Some sounds are desirable, but many are not. We’ve created two augmented listening devices that provide a new level of choice and personalization to transform everyday auditory experiences, as if they resemble superpowers for your ears.
The Stages array, the center of our Audio Processing System, makes this possible. Using 8 MEMS microphones, the array captures all incoming sound which is then processed by our proprietary speech and sound algorithms. The Stages array in both the Hero and Sidekick was designed to enhance your listening experience through selective sound admittance gating (when you hear ambient sound) and ambient+ audio spatialization (the direction you hear ambient sound from).
