This year I had the opportunity to attend the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada. I developed a line of neoprene bags for my company (under the name Solaire) and they set up a booth for the show. I visited the show with friends from The Academy in Long Beach and my neighbor Chris, the comic book illustrator.

The Las Vegas Convention center was a spectacle inundated with massive TVs, 3D scanners, touch screens, phones, and tablets. CES was a display of companies, large and small, fighting to be on the forefront of new technology, with many others following suit and picking up the scraps. A few highlights include Sony's 3D TV without glasses, Samsung's phone/tablet hybrid: the Galaxy Note, Microsoft's large format infrared camera touch display (instead of capacitance touch), and Leonardo's Mouse vs Bird 3D renderer.

Below is a sampling of what CES had to offer.
