BY GARY SHAPIRO, PRESIDENT AND CEO KAREN CHUPKA, EVP, CES CONSUMER TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION

Tech Innovations Boosting Mobility, Accessibility, Sustainability Welcome to the official CES 2022 launch and our return to Las Vegas! CES is a celebration of cutting-edge technology, life-changing innovations, and a glimpse into the future, showcasing more than 2,200 exhibitors across an incredible 1.8 million square feet of exhibit space. CES 2022 is supercharged by collective enthusiasm for our first major in-person event in two years!

We’re kicking things off on Day 1 with CTA’s annual state of the industry address, where we will explore how technology is amplifying human capacity and the power to change the world for the better. Across every tech category, including artificial intelligence, robotics, virtual reality, transportation, health, 5G and more, technology is facilitating greater sustainability, accessibility and equity in our societies. Technology is empowering us to ask—and in many cases answer—big questions about making our world better for the billions who inhabit it.

This week, CES attendees will discover how tech companies from around the globe are harnessing the power of digital technology to serve people and the planet. As just one example, General Motors Chair and CEO Mary Barra returns to the CES keynote stage today to share GM’s vision for an electric vehicle-driven future and unveil GM’s new Chevy Silverado electric truck. This comes just a year after GM’s historic announcement of the move to all-electric vehicles as part of their sustainability pledge at CES 2020.

Electric vehicles—and other new mobility technology—have fueled huge growth in the auto tech sector since we last convened in Las Vegas. GM joins over 200 exhibitors in the new LVCC West Hall, a stunning 20% increase since 2020. We’ll welcome vehicle tech newcomers like VinFast, Vietnam’s first car company; Independent Electric Vehicles, a new electric vehicle startup; and TOGG, a Turkish automotive company producing a range of electric vehicles.

If electric vehicles are what’s happening now, the future of the auto sector is self-driving technology. Mustsee exhibits include autonomous trucking company TuSimple’s self-driving freight truck, Waymo’s self-driving cars and Evocargo’s all-electric autonomous cargo transportation. We’re also thrilled to host the Indy Autonomous Challenge, a head-to-head high-speed autonomous racecar competition, at the Las Vegas Speedway on January 7.

Of course, vehicle tech at CES 2022 isn’t limited to cars and trucks. Attendees can also check out MoonBikes Motors, exhibiting the world’s first electric snowbike; Damon Motors’ electric sport motorcycle; and Brunswick’s ACES initiative, which is bringing autonomy, connectivity, electrification and access to the boating industry.

Incredible innovations like these can be seen across the CES show floor. As you’ll hear from keynote speakers, industry experts and hundreds of exhibitors today and throughout the show, the only constant in the tech industry is change. And as we gather the consumer technology community together again after nearly two years, it’s clear that human connections and the propulsion of technology for the greater good will be the resounding themes of CES 2022 and the years ahead.

Sincerely,

Gary Shapiro President and CEO Consumer Technology Association (CTA)™

CES 2022 HEALTH PROTOCOLS PLANNING FOR CES 2022

A Guide to Staying Healthy While You are Here at CES 2022 Over 2,200 exhibitors, leading U.S. and global media, top retailers and industry leaders are convening in Las Vegas CES continues to monitor guidelines for health safety measures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Nevada and Clark County. CES is following applicable federal, state and local laws, adapting CES plans accordingly and sharing updates with attendees, exhibitors and other CES audiences. CES is also working closely with the Las Vegas community, including the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, exhibit venues and hotels, and if they adjust their plans, those changes will be communicated as well.

The details below are just some of the precautions being implemented for CES. CES will continue to evaluate and expand its health safety protocols as medical recommendations evolve, and will provide timely updates.

HEALTHY VENUES • CES official exhibit venues have improved their ventilation systems and increased outside air flow.

• The Las Vegas Convention Center, Mandalay Bay and The Venetian Expo (formerly Sands Expo) have been awarded the Global Biorisk Advisory Council GBAC STAR certification by ISSA. This accreditation means the properties are using cleaning protocols and work practices to minimize risks associated with infectious disease.

CONFERENCE AREA AND MEETING SPACING WHAT TO EXPECT AT CES REQUIRED: Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination • CES attendees must show proof of COVID-19 vaccination in order to pick up a CES 2022 badge.

• Attendees must be fully vaccinated with a vaccine approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or World Health Organization (WHO). A list of approved vaccines can be found here.

• To simplify and speed up badge pickup, check ­updates on the CES health protocols page at CES.tech.

• For U.S. based attendees, CES will use CLEAR. CLEAR’s free mobile app and Health Pass feature provides a simple and secure way for this information to be shared. Instructions can be found here.

• Once you have provided your proof of vaccination and picked up your badge, you will not need to verify your vaccination status • Detailed information on CES’ proof of COVID-19 vaccination process can be found here.

• Chairs will be set to allow social distancing. We will follow appropriate guidelines.

• Meeting rooms and executive suite participants will be asked to follow show rules and local guidance with respect to social distancing.

WIDER AISLES AND ONE DIRECTIONAL TRAFFIC • The width of many of the aisles on the show floors has been increased to help with social distancing.

• The public areas and entry points at CES venues will respect social distancing and use one-way traffic flow.

FOOD AND BEVERAGE PRECAUTIONS • Catering and concession outlets in CES venues will follow health and safety precautions including adequate spacing to promote social distancing and provide pre-packaged food options.

HEALTHY HABITS HEALTH SCREENINGS AND SERVICES • Our goal is to be considerate of all CES attendees, including international travelers from different countries, many of whom live with different laws and protocols, including masking. We will follow local laws for masking policies.

• CES will provide on-site access to health services and medical aid for those who may need it.

• Hand sanitization stations will be placed throughout CES venues to encourage frequent hand sanitization.

• We will issue best practices for attendees that include avoiding shaking hands and how exhibitors can best manage product demonstrations.

CTA will continue to provide updates to exhibitors and attendees through the CES app.

LG Provides the ‘Life You Deserve’ With Latest Products

BY JOHN SCIACCA LG has been kicking off media day at CES with the first press conference of the show as long as I can remember, but this year the event was held virtually. The event began with video of John Legend singing “You Deserve it All” and introducing the “LG World Premiere” event, followed by William Cho, CEO, LG Electronics, welcoming everyone.

Next, LG used the event to tell a story with the theme of “The Better Life You Deserve,” sharing stories about innovation and progress and the role improved LG technology plays in that life.

As the story segment ended, LG executives gave a deeper dive into the different technologies presented.

Jinni Kim of LGs’ Home Entertainment Consumer Marketing Team talked about the upcoming 2022 OLED lineup that will feature sizes from 42 to 97 inches; LG’s most expansive line-up of siz-

es and brightest and finest picture quality ever. New features like Room-to-Room share will allow you to view cable or satellite content on a second TV with just a Wi-Fi connection.

New apps will take TV experience beyond TV, such as a LIVENow that allows sharing experiences with a watch-together feature, nVidia GeForce Now cloud-based gaming with no additional hardware beyond controller requires, LG Fitness with a range of fitness videos, coaching and management, and, via a new collaboration with Independa, LG TV can now provide telehealth care services from alerts to consultations.

Gail Control from LG’s Home Appliance Consumer Marketing Team talked about LG’s artificial intelli-

William (Joo Wan) Cho, CEO, LG Electronics (inset) shared stories about innovation and progress at CES 2022

gence technology and how appliances will learn and deliver updates based on how they are used, along with features like scan-to-cook with bar codes that will automatically set cooking times and temps.

Laura Barbieri, CSR & Community Relations, discussed how LG will make the home a more caring place, both inside and out, with LG’s sustainability management aimed at benefitting both the environment and society. This will be done using three core values: [1] Making technology more inclusive and accessible for all; [2] delivering responsible products with eco-friendly materials and optimizing production process for future gens; [3] becoming leaders in home energy saving for cleaner and healthier life.

By 2030, LG’s goal is to reduce carbon emissions in manufacturing by 50 percent compared to 2017. With new eco-friendly packaging, such as that on the LG SoundBar Éclair, LG will introduce 600,000 tons of recycled plastic into manufacturing process and increase recovery of electronic waste to up to 8 million tons by 2030.

The conference finished with a glimpse into the future with a “Better Life Tomorrow” section that introduced concepts LG is working on such as the OMNIPOD, a concept for a mobile living space environment; LG Cockpit, which will reinvent in-vehicle experience to enjoy all comforts of home wherever you are; the CLOI GuideBot and serve bot; and a Door-to-Door autonomous delivery robot with AIpowered driving technology. Finally, LG’s new Micro LED display will be available in homes later this year in screen sizes up to 136 inches in 4K HDR. Cho concluded by saying vehicles will become mobile spaces; versatile, connected and intelligent, and an extension of your home experience. “That really is the essence of our LG ThinQ ecosystem.

So, we can make our spaces limitless and our experiences seamless.”

AI + IoT: Like a Bosch

BY ANTHONY SAVONA Bosch opened its press conference yesterday morning with a look at a new ad campaign for its smart solutions. Called “High tech #LikeABosch – with many connected, intelligent, and sustainable solutions,” it features a mom being called out by her teenage son for being “old school” only to have her prove him wrong by taking the viewers on a tour through her daily routine that uses several Bosch solutions, from smart glasses to a connected e-bike to a digital access pass for work.

The catchy #LikeABosch theme was carried through the presentation, which was hosted by Tanja Rückert, the Bosch Group’s chief digital officer, and Mike Mansuetti, president of Bosch in North America.

First up, the duo revealed The Bosch Tech Compass—a representative survey conducted in five countries and presented for the first time here— that shows what people across the globe expect from new technologies. According to the survey, the majority of respondents (72 percent) are convinced that technological progress is making the world a better place, for instance as a key to fighting climate change (76 percent). At the same time, four out of five people think technology should be more focused on tackling the great challenges of our time rather than serving individual needs.

Regarding climate change, Bosch is working now on reducing emissions generated along its supply chains and during the lifecycle of its products by 15 percent by 2030. In terms of volume, this is 67 million metric tons, a figure roughly 20 times greater than what its locations emitted in its baseline year of 2018. Bosch is also sharing its experiences and sup-

porting other companies’ carbon neutrality efforts via its consulting company Bosch Climate Solutions.

An example of Bosch’s commitment to using technology to make peoples’ lives better was demonstrated via the company’s new smart connected biking solution. The Bosch eBike Systems has been named a CES 2022 Innovation Award honoree in the “Vehicle Intelligence & Transportation” category and merges the physical experience of riding an e-bike with the digital experience provided by connectivity and an app.

Another big focus for Bosch is the connection of IoT with AI—linking the internet of things (IoT) with artificial intelligence (AI). According to the company, this creates a virtuous circle in which connected products deliver information that, in turn, is processed by means of AI and incorporated into software updates for these products. At the core of this approach is the benefit for customers, since it allows users to be an integral part of the de-

velopment process and enables solutions to be tailored precisely to their needs.

One example of the benefit of AI and IoT is the SoundSee sensor system. Since late 2019, it has been traveling through space to identify unusual sounds on the ISS, using AI algorithms to analyze and indicate when maintenance is required. Now, in collaboration with the non-profit healthcare company Highmark in Pittsburgh (USA), Bosch is using this technology to investigate how audio AI can be used as a diagnostic tool in pediatric medicine. Specifically, Bosch and Highmark are working to adapt the sensors in a way that will enable them to detect pulmonary conditions such as asthma at an early stage just by listening to children’s breathing patterns.

To see Bosch’s latest innovations, visit Central Hall, Booth 16103. See its tech in action at the Electric Bike Test Track at the eMobility Experience, LVCC, West Hall, West Plaza.

CES Trends to Watch Revealed

BY ANTHONY SAVONA “Innovation tends to accelerate and bunch up, and, as it is unleashed, it levels up society and makes life better. We have seen innovation this past season, and it is waiting for you at CES,” said Steve Koenig, VP, Research, CTA, in his introduction to the “CES 2022 Trends to Watch” session Monday evening. This annual rundown gives members of the media a look at the trends that are shaping the industry, and previews some of the technology that awaits them on the show floor.

The first trend Koenig covered was the increase in tech demand. The U.S. tech industry forecast is $505 billion dollars, a new high for the industry.

Growth rates in 2020 and 2021 showed elevated annual growth for such a mature industry—hitting nearly 10 percent in 2021.

So what are they buying? The CTA’s report shows that consumers are leveling up their tech, with people upgrading to 4K Ultra HD TVs and smart home products such as doorbells and appliances. They are also investing in premium brands to create a better experience for themselves, as well

Steve Koenig, VP, Research, CTA

as services such as connected fitness devices like Peloton. Premium content services are also growing with the average consumer subscribing to eight different paid services.

Koenig also mentioned that along with consumers there is another group leaning into the tech sector—investors, who are heavily focused on tech startups. The evidence of this trend is here at CES, with 800 startups located in Eureka Park. The key funding areas for these investors are retail tech, fintech and healthcare.

He concluded the presentation by looking at the current trends, which once again include 5G and AI, but now also include the Metaverse.

“5G will provide the connected tissue for innovation in this decade,” said Koenig. “In 2022 we will start to turn from a consumer-centric focus of 5G to industrial IoT—increasing cloud infrastructure, digital transformation, and so on. And hand in hand with 5G is AI—AI getting better and better with new use cases.

“The Metaverse is closer than you think, he continued. “The building blocks are here—cloud, 5G, haptics, volumetric video—now we have to assemble them into an experience. The next gen of the internet will create immersive experiences and over time—within 10 years—these experiences will become inextricably linked with our reality.”

An example of this can be seen in the Hyundai Mobis, located in West Hall, where users can create an avatar to test drive a virtual Hyundai.

The other trends to watch for at CES 2022 include Transportation, Space Tech, Sustainable Tech and Digital Health.

AI

The Great AI Migration

BY SIMON FORREST, PRINCIPAL TECHNOLOGY ANALYST, FUTURESOURCE CONSULTIG Artificial intelligence, at its core, can be defined as an information system that allows computers or robots the ability to perform analytical and reasoning tasks typically done by humans. This is an intentionally vague definition as the abilities of AI continue to evolve, allowing for more complex cognitive tasks to be performed completely autonomously. These advancements have propelled AI into the spotlight, making it the “next big thing” in technology as its abilities can be utilized across just about every industry.

Now, AI is rarely used alone. It’s more commonly found working in conjunction with machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL). Before we look at the future of the industry, it helps to have a solid grasp on what each of their functions are and how they work together.

As stated above, AI describes any human-like intelligence that is exhibited by a computer or programmable machine, effectively mimicking the capabilities of the human mind. The discipline is not new but has come into sharp focus throughout recent years. Computers have become more powerful and the semiconductor industry is making great strides towards manufacturing chips containing processors specifically designed for executing AIbased algorithms.

Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that concentrates on developing algorithms and statistical models that enable machines to make decisions without specific programming.

The machine learning process effectively refines its results and reprograms itself as it digests more data. Over thousands of iterations, this increases efficacy in the specific task that the machinelearned algorithm is destined to perform, delivering progressively greater accuracy.

And at the center of this is deep learning. This is a further subset of machine learning that can teach itself to execute a specific task autonomously from large training data sets. The aspect that sets deep learning apart from other methods is that these tasks are often learnt entirely unsupervised and without human intervention.

By combining the three disciplines of AI, ML and DL, computers can effectively learn from examples and construct knowledge. They can recognise objects, understand and respond to verbal natural language, tackle intractable problems, and even make decisions that humans might consider rational and perceptive.

28 | CES 2022 DAILY | JANUARY 5-8, 2022 THE TRANSITION FROM THE CLOUD TO THE EDGE Currently, training of AI is often driven by large corporations with the necessary compute resource and training data. Major factors driving the growth of AI include developments in machine learning, which in turn are occurring due to advancements in computer science. This allows for an increase in computing power and cloud storage which provides companies the ability to collect, store and analysz large volumes of data.

However, there are issues with cloud-based AI. The primary one lies in latency. The lag time between deciphering the data and deriving insights to help make intelligent decisions is becoming a more common issue, as sensors and smart devices are being more widely used. And in product-based industries, the need for more accurate and specific data is also prompting the need for an alternative method of collecting data and generating insights.

While AI is broadly now considered “a better algorithm” for data analytics and insights, it’s not superhuman. For example, if machine learning uses biased training data, then the output from the AI can be incorrect at best and dangerous at worse.

Therefore, the need for highly representative data is becoming vital. Indeed, there are companies today that specialize in creating synthetic data sets for AI, such is the necessity of having access to large volumes of unbiased data during training to deliver optimum results.

Until recently, AI required relatively high-performance processors to deliver results. However, with the advent of silicon chips with integrated neural network accelerators, it’s now possible to shift AI’s host from the cloud to the device, otherwise known as edge computing. Today, running AI “on the edge” in consumer devices is rapidly becoming commonplace. This leads to improvements in speed, accuracy and privacy.

The advancements made in machine learning are now helping to optimize models that are based on deep neural networks, making them compact

and efficient enough to run at the edge. This allows for the integration of cognitive reasoning without needing to appeal to cloud-based servers. Essentially, this allows newer machine learning models the capacity to deal with videos, speech synthesis, data gathered by cameras and microphones, voice recognition, and other data collection sensors. And when edge devices are integrated with special AI chips, the insights and analysis that is hidden in these data clusters can be uncovered.

FACTORS DRIVING GROWTH IN EDGE COMPUTING • Increasing investments on the advancements and development of AI and ML. • Machine learning tools and training sets being made available to third parties, allowing development of their own AI-based solutions.

• The design of silicon chips with neuromorphic computing technology by tech giants; this is coupled with improvements in silicon chip manufacturing to build large SoCs containing several neural network accelerators.

• The ability for AI to be trained using large volumes of synthetic data, alongside real-world examples to remove bias.

• The advancements made in probabilistic modeling wherein computing systems determine the best solution to a problem by taking into account all the uncertain variables.

• Advancements in machine learning, in which a computer gets better at performing a task based on the data that it receives.

EXAMPLES OF AI EDGE COMPUTING To showcase recent examples, think of virtual assistants such as Alexa, Siri or Google Assistant.

Currently, the speech processing elements of these assistants can be run directly on today’s silicon chips. Moreover, the new Amazon AZ2 neural processing units are being integrated into silicon chips

for Smart Speakers and are now processing some of the speech recognition on the device itself. And smartphone processors have been able to do this for a few years now.

However, it’s not quite at a place where it can be entirely handled on the device. Beyond simple command and control aspects, and now some of the speech processing itself, the intent—what the user requests—is still processed in the cloud because the assistant must refer to large databases that reside online to find the result.

AI on the edge extends to visual tasks as smartphones utilize AI for “computational photography” which blends pictures from several lenses to create a polished final image. Another example is the use of AI to upscale HD content to 4K on smart TVs, by recreating the missing details.

WHERE THE FUTURE IS HEADED In order to provide devices with the capability to handle AI workloads, the development of chips with neuromorphic computing technology is happening.

These chips are being funded and created by tech giants like Intel Corp, Samsung, Apple, IBM and others. Ultimately, the design of the neuromorphic chip is inspired by the neural networks of the human brain. It works to replicate the connections that are formed when neurons communicate with each other.

Naturally, this means neuromorphic chips are packed with artificial neurons and synapses that mimic activity spikes that occur in the human brain, allowing them to become smarter and more efficient in their ability to handle heavy algorithms.

As they are now an intrinsic part of the AI hardware market, they create new market opportunities by connecting with servers for cloud computing. This will be especially relevant with IoT devices; security systems, smart meters, connected cameras, and other connected wireless devices. Industries that will be heavily impacted include automotive, aerospace & defense, home automation and smart cities.

The acceleration of developments being made in AI and machine learning means we’ll soon be living life on the edge. Or at least our devices certainly will.

The Evolution of Wearables and the Health Opportunity

BY GUY HAMMETT, SENIOR MARKET ANALYST, FUTURESOURCE CONSULTINGT Fitness and activity tracking have played leading roles in the world of wearables for years, enticing consumers and driving uptake. Users are tracking their step count, active minutes, heart rate, sleeping patterns and much more, with Futuresource Consulting’s figures showing an installed base of more than 780 million worldwide. However, the opportunity is intensifying. Wearables are undergoing a transformational shift. The COVID-19 pandemic has underlined the importance of health, fitness and wellbeing. Buoyed by widespread lockdowns, enforced social distancing and the closure of gyms and leisure centers, digital health tracking became a rising priority, driving premium hardware features and associated services.

At the same time, the enabling technology is coming of age. Sensor accuracy is improving, ecosystems have been developed and finessed, and there are many incremental improvements being made to device capabilities. There’s been a groundswell of innovation since Apple successfully integrated an ECG monitor and fall detection algorithm in its Series 4 Watch back in 2018. Combined with the expertise of global CE brands, rapid scaling is a relatively undemanding task.

The next wave of wearable products will see further health innovation, including medical grade blood pressure measurement and non-invasive blood glucose tracking. These, alongside a range of additional features, are expanding the appeal of the category to a wider demographic.

The use cases are numerous.

THE HEALTHCARE OPPORTUNITY Across the globe, 1.13 billion people suffer with high blood pressure. There are one billion with

respiratory disease. Cardiovascular disease and diabetes afflict nearly 850 million. Dementia affects 54 million. Three in five people living with dementia will wander at least once, with many doing so repeatedly. This can be life-threatening and stressful, and also costs emergency services around $16,000 per incident.

Compare these numbers to the current wearables installed base and the opportunity becomes clearly apparent, with CE vendors and dedicated health brands all vying for market po-

sition. Health and caregiving products from the likes of Theora Care, LifePlus, Omron and Navigil are creating a counterpoint to the CE giants, with Oura and Withings occupying the middle ground.

ALL EYES ON THE EAR The ear is rapidly becoming the new health battleground. Beyond an improved listening experience, it lends itself to accurate monitoring of activity, stress, blood volume and oxygen sat-

Additionally, the comparatively new field of digital hearing health bridges the gap between perfect hearing and severe hearing loss. Somewhere in the middle there’s an accelerating consumer awareness of the need to address issues relating to mild to moderate hearing loss.

In particular, Futuresource Consulting’s recent Audio Tech Lifestyles consumer survey shows that consumers are interested in conversation enhancement features in future earphones. With the industry on the threshold of over-the-counter hearing aid regulations, new opportunities are emerging for hearing aids and lifestyle headphone brands to achieve a foothold. OTC regulations will allow hearing aids to be sold without prescription, as an ordinary retail purchase and at a cheaper price point. In a field currently dominated by audiology practices and prescriptions, the CE opportunities are enormous.

CE BRAND MARKET MOVEMENTS Apple has already stepped into the space, with the introduction of the Live Listen feature in its headphones, and the conversation boost func-

tion in its Airpods Pro. Sonova recently acquired Sennheiser, with a view to leverage its capabilities in the hearing aids business, as well as Sennheiser’s reputation for audio quality. Furthermore, Bose recently launched hearing aids at $850, while GN Resound launched a new hearing aid under the Jabra brand.

From a wider wearables perspective, Apple is the clear market leader and continues to pull even further ahead. In health, it is focusing on developing an ecosystem that combines hardware with software and services, while its Fitness+ subscription service will tap into the digital fitness wave which has been accelerated by the pandemic.

Garmin’s and Polar’s sports and fitness expertise can be transferred into the health vertical, with Polar owning a huge amount of biometric-related IP, and Garmin having acquired Firstbeat. However, lack of ecosystem may inhibit health opportunities, but partnerships and mergers remain an option.

Google is leaning on Fitbit’s brand equity and vast expertise. With its Health and Health Plus subscription services, Fitbit is transforming from a hardware-only vendor into a true lifestyle

brand. Wider WearOS and Android integration will also expand the ecosystem.

OBSTACLES TO OVERCOME Yet there are still hurdles. Data privacy concerns continue to inform the agenda, as many feel uncomfortable about trusting CE brands with their intimate data. Sensor accuracy, though improving, still comes with a fairly wide margin of error, and FDA regulation also remains an obstacle. As brands move from a wellness positioning into healthcare, the rules of engagement become radically altered, but the opportunity remains.

STREAMING

Streaming Behavior Mindsets Shifting in 2022

BY DAVID SIDEBOTTOM, PRINCIPAL ANALYST, FUTURESOURCE CONSULTING The evolution of premium streaming video on demand has seen different phases of development condensed into less than two years since the start of the pandemic. As indicated within our research at Futuresource Consulting, a total of 500 million subscription video on demand (SVoD) subscribers have been added since the end of 2019, highlighting how premium streaming behavior has accelerated or been reinforced across all corners of the globe. New services have launched, driven by the continued drive of D2C services, along with international expansion. However, the anticipated slowdown in streaming video subscriber uptake was realized in 2021, with major players including Netflix and Disney+ both reporting a significant, but not unexpected slowdown, as consumers effectively brought their decision to take a service forward from 2021 to 2020.

Further underlying consumer behavior also suggests a potential shift in how consumers manage their SVoD services and that the days of prolific ‘service stacking’, particularly in well established markets such as the USA, may be over.

Futuresource’s Living With Digital consumer research from 2021 highlights that consumers are thinking differently about their SVoD portfolios, meaning that churn management from SVoD providers will remain as pertinent as subscribe acquisition for the foreseeable future. There was a notable increase in intent to cancel services in H2 2021 compared to the previous two surveys undertaken. This was evident across all types of services, with even the ‘utility’ platforms of Netflix and Amazon Prime Video seeing a marked increase in intent to cancel. Although carry through on this intent is likely to be much lower, with service bundling and general apathy towards the cancellation process helping reduce this actual cancellation rate, this shift in mentality is still quite striking. This is particularly significant when considering that typically over a quarter of SVoD subscribers said they will cancel and restart services more in the next year than they do now, effectively “dipping in and out more.”

Whereas the increased intent to cancel and switching of services provides a more negative outlook, this is contrasted by the fact that around one-third of European SVoD subscribers and over

CES 2022 DAILY | JANUARY 5-8, 2022 | 33 40 percent of U.S. SVoD subscribers say they will take at least one more SVoD service in the next 12 months than they do now—an increase since the last wave. This demonstrates that the thirst for new services and content has not dried up since the easing of restrictions. These combined findings potentially point towards a future of service surfing rather than service stacking, whereby subscribers will continue to add new services and may consider replacing an existing one, rather than adding it on

top. Thus the boom in multiple service uptake witnessed in 2020 will continue to slow, at least in terms of taking multiple services simultaneously.

It is also important to remember that SVoD service adoption and usage is not to be considered in isolation. In terms of consumers’ streaming video service portfolios, SVoD services sit alongside a new wave AVoD services such as Pluto TV, particularly in the U.S., as well as broadcaster VoD (BVoD) services such as BBC iPlayer in Europe. Not forgetting transactional digital video services, Pay-TV/cable and traditional video viewing. We also know that the more SVoD services consumers take, the more likely they are to consume content on these other platforms.

The new wave of AVoD services and FAST channels have generated considerable headlines and are now part of many consumers regular viewing in the U.S., with over 40 percent of American consumers watching an AVoD service at least monthly. While international expansion has also been evident from key services, uptake in Europe has proved more challenging. A strong BVoD legacy, more limited local content and a fragmented advertising and broadcast landscape across the region means that user growth will be increasingly reliant

on partnerships with TV manufacturers and possibly across the longer term, local broadcasters.

With new streaming video services still rolling out, the landscape will continue to become increasingly fragmented in 2022, as will consumers’ video consumption. In order to provide seamless viewing experiences, the topic of super aggregators across all different business models becomes as significant as it ever has been. With the largest media and tech companies all staking a claim to be the ultimate super aggregator, 2022 could well be as intriguing a year in the streaming video landscape as any we have seen of late.

SPACE TECH

Sierra Space’s future-cool Dream Chaser: ‘We look forward to sharing how the Sierra Space Dream Chaser spaceplane and Life Habitat module will unlock the promise of commercial manufacturing and research in microgravity to make life on earth better for all,’ says former NASA astronaut and Sierra Space president Dr. Janet Kavandi.

Space Tech: CES 2022’s Final Frontier Is outer space just a playground for rich billionaires, or is there a real space economy that’s about to blast off at CES 2022?

BY STEWART WOLPIN CES 2022 attendees will be forgiven for any doubletakes as they pass Central Plaza in front of the LVCC. Yes, on display is a bona fide spaceship, the Dream Chaser from Sierra Space, a subsidiary of defense supplier Sierra Nevada. While future cool, Dream Chaser is actually a space utility vehicle which will start hauling payloads into low earth orbit starting this year and represents a potent example of the burgeoning space economy and of Space Tech on display at CES. But what, exactly, is “space tech”? “Space tech can be defined as technology for use in travel or activities beyond Earth’s atmosphere, for purposes such as spaceflight or space exploration,” explains CTA Industry Communications senior manager Jim Fellinger. “Space tech advancements are creating new communications services and opening opportunities for new applications in biology, human health and more. In other words, this is more than simply ‘consumer technology’.”

Space Tech also is more than Messrs. Bezos, Branson and Musk launching themselves and their friends into space, but a growing private/ public economic ecosystem investment that includes communications, R&D, manufacturing, and yes, even tourism. Those billionaire joy rides simply help fund more utilitarian commercial space efforts.

“We are excited about the future of space technology at CES and expect this category to become a bigger focus in coming years,” Fellinger adds.

Any gearhead can recite the myriad merits of public investments in space, from computers to Dustbusters to Kevlar to Tang. In its recent “Space: The Final Frontier For Cybersecurity” report, research company Forrester notes, “Everything from communications to media, weather

data, and trading currently rely on some nonterrestrial components.” The report notes that thanks to Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic and Space X, the number of items launched into space annually has increased 90% since 2017. According to a recent report from Morgan Stanley, the current global space economy is valued at more than $350 billion and will triple in size over the next 15 years.

“While space-based systems sound futuristic,” the Forrester report notes, “they’re much more

“Our only hope is to create technology that will promote sustainability that in turn will make life on earth more sustainable.”

TAYLOR OSHEL, ZERO G DIRECTOR OF SALES present than many people would suspect... [R] apid reductions in the costs of launching payloads have enabled new use cases...to emerge and also made leveraging space for other business initiatives...within economic reach of a much broader group of companies.”

CES attendees can stroll around the 30-footlong Dream Chaser (unfortunately not inside it) and its “trailer,” the Shooting Star. Combined, the pair can haul payloads of more than six tons to the International Space Station, or to Sierra’s own Life Habitat module commercial space station, also on display. Dream Chaser, which can be modified to accommodate human passengers, re-enters the atmosphere at a gentle 1.5G

and can land at any airport able to handle commercial jets.

Rather than operate its own transport business, Sierra looks to supply its customizable space gear to companies with their own vision on how to take advantage of the final frontier.

“CES provides the perfect setting for Sierra Space to showcase our platforms to make a vibrant space economy a reality,” explains former NASA astronaut and Sierra Space president Dr. Janet Kavandi. “We look forward to sharing how the Sierra Space Dream Chaser spaceplane and Life Habitat module will unlock the promise of commercial manufacturing and research in microgravity to make life on earth better for all.”

While high profile sub- and orbital celebrity f lights grab the spotlight, the new space economy will be largely functional. To help civilians prepare for a more ubiquitous space experience, Zero G (Booth 9227) provides a spacelike weightless experience without the planetary view. Its modified Boeing 727 G-Force One flies aerobatic maneuvers called parabolas to create 15 separate 20-30 second periods of zero gravity. Zero G consumer flights cost $7,500 each, and group charters are available as well.

While there won’t be actual Zero G “vomit comet” flights from McCarran Airport during CES, Zero G will present a first-hand VR zero gravity experience—just a glimpse of the potential of space tech.

“Space tech could be defined as anything that seeks to better understand how we and our world interact and are able to operate with essentially the universe around us,” explains Taylor Oshel, Zero G Director of Sales. “Our only hope is to create technology that will promote sustainability that in turn will make life on earth more sustainable.”

A SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO

CES 2022 DAILY ®

An Energized Future at CES I am thrilled to back in Las Vegas for CES 2022, the global stage for innovation. We are back in-person and digitally so global audiences can visit with major brands and startups, as well as hear from tech leaders and industry advocates.

The importance of in-person events has been reinforced during the pandemic. Although technology is valuable in bringing us together while in remote locations, we miss seeing each other and there is nothing quite like the power of meeting in person.

CES is about growing business, discovering new opportunities and forging relationships with partners, investors, customers and media.

The innovations at CES will shape 2022 and beyond. The entire tech ecosystem is represented on the show floor. See transformative tech including 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality/virtual reality/mixed reality/extended reality (AR, VR, MR, XR), NEXTGEN TV, smart home, smart cities, sports tech, digital health, intelligent robotics, vehicle tech and so much more.

Non-traditional companies also use the CES platform to connect with the global tech community and this year we will see advances in food tech, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and cryptocurrencies (digital assets), and even space tech. We’ll also see the foundational technologies that are being used to build the metaverse(s) that will provide immersive experiences that blend the virtual world with the physical world.

Advertising, Best Buy, NBCUniversal, Salesforce and T-Mobile – just to name a few.

The tech industry is helping global citizens stay connected, informed, educated and healthy. According to CTA’s Annual Consumer Technology Holiday Purchase Patterns study, tech spending on products and services during the 2021 holiday season (October-December) reached $142.5 billion.

Tech companies are making the world a better place – both during the pandemic and beyond. Our industry is rising to the challenge to solve the world’s biggest problems – sustainability, accessibility, equity and other critical issues and I am proud to be a part of it.

5G Leads Mobile Connectivity From telemedicine to tele-education, smart cities and entertainment, 5G is accelerating innovation. CES 2022 is the global hub for 5G, bringing the connected tech ecosystem together to reshape the digital future.

connected sensors, displays and computing platforms.” Similarly, a factory “could have thousands of sensors on its production lines, monitoring processes in real time, which would also boost safety,” Koenig adds.

With transformative tech pushing toward a connected world dependent on network capacity, mobile carriers are responding with ultra-fast, powerful 5G networks built to improve efficiency and empower user experiences. Enthusiasm around 5G is based on its advanced proficiencies, high speed, increased bandwidth and low latency. These capabilities will inspire the creation of immense internet of things (IoT) devices from smartphones to advances in health care to even more complex solutions such as augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) and mixed reality (MR) that require significant computing capabilities on the edge of the network.

5G will allow cars and driverless vehicles to interact with other cars and the infrastructure surrounding them using vehicle-toeverything (V2X) technology to allow each to communicate with the traffic system. To accomplish this, extremely low latencies or time delays are required. The vehicles need to exchange information almost instantly and 5G offers sub-one-millisecond latency.

5G will enable $12 trillion of global economic activity in 2035, generating 22.3 million jobs in the 5G global value chain alone, according to CTA Market Research. CTA expects unit shipments for 5G handsets to reach almost 15 million units this year, which is an 800% increase from 2019. By 2022, 77% of smartphones shipping in the U.S. will be 5G-enabled, according to CTA. The biggest change 5G may bring is in AR and VR. As phones transform into devices meant to be used with VR headsets, the very low latency and high speeds of 5G will deliver an augmented world with an abundance of information coming from the internet. The small cell aspects of 5G may help with in-building coverage, as home routers also become cell sites.

“5G will be the connectivity standard,” says Steve Koenig vice president, CTA market research. Although smartphone voice and data services for consumers will be at the vanguard for residential 5G broadband, Koenig envisions “in five years we’ll have a robust landscape of industrial IoT applications across the economy powered by 5G in every conceivable economic sector.”

Koenig foresees massive 5G private networks for hospitals, campuses, factories and other institutional users. By 2027, he predicts revenues from business and institutional 5G customers will outstrip the consumer side. He foresees “a myriad of

Highlighting NFTs at C Space Some of the NFT Exhibitors at CES 2022 • Atomic Form: A new exhibitor at CES, this company makes hardware and software for NFTs and Web3 media.

At CES 2022, the company will exhibit its 27-inch 4K LCD “Atomic Form Wave” that lets customers control how their crypto art is displayed.

As the home for the advertising, entertainment and content community at CES, C Space is where the world’s leading brands, advertisers, media platforms and content creators meet to make deals and showcase tech shaping the industry. At CES 2022, a new category, NFTs (non-fungible tokens), will also be part of C Space.

The area will feature the growing digital assets industry, with a focus on NFTs, initial coin offerings (ICOs) and other blockchainbased technologies.

• Autograph: Co-founded by Tom Brady. Autograph is an NFT platform that brings together the most iconic brands and legendary names in sports, entertainment, and culture to create unique digital collections and experiences.

NFTs are a fancy way of saying that something is unique and cannot easily be replaced by another substitute. For instance, one unit of Bitcoin or Ethereum essentially is the same as another. But a non-fungible item such as a unique photo or video is a one-of-akind item. Several popular forms of NFTs include digital art pieces, historical video moments and even history-making social network posts. Now seen as coveted digital collector’s items, some collectibles can even command seven-figure purchase prices.

The goal at CES is to bring studios, entertainment companies, networks, blockchain and other technology companies together to explore opportunities with NFTs.

• FTX: A Bahamian-based cryptocurrency exchange platform that allows users to trade cryptocurrencies.

NFTs have ballooned to become a $2.5 billion market. These digital collectibles – which turn intellectutal property assets into virtual forms of memorabilia – effectively pair the monetary concept of fungibility with the shared ledgering of cryptocurrency, allowing collectors to certify high-tech assets as unique. Public interest continues to grow in these virtual keepsakes.

The Smarter Home CTA Market Research • For the fourth straight year, smart speakers lead the smart home category – 41% of homes now own a smart speaker, and 23% plan to buy one in the next year.

• Smart appliances and smart doorbells (both at 26%) are the second-most frequently owned smart home tech.

With consumers spending more time at home during the pandemic, innovation in smart home technology has soared with surges in smart displays, smart doorbells, smart appliances and smart speakers. Companies like AARP, Kohler, Lutron, Moen, Ooma, Ring, simplehuman and TOTO located in the Venetian Expo, will showcase why CES is the best place to experience the technologies and solutions in the smart home sector.

Smart home products such as connected thermostats, networkconnected security cameras, digital assistants and lighting including Wi-Fi-connected light bulbs, allow users control over their homes’ systems and appliances. The ability to control lights or the lock on the front door via a smartphone provides convenience to users but only scratches the surface of what these always-on, always-connected, sensor-laded products can do. The true value of the smart home is not the ability to control devices via a mobile app or voice, but rather how that control is being guided and augmented by data from other connected devices and applications in the home.

The connected home enjoys a symbiotic relationship with smart speakers and digital assistants. Digital assistants act as virtual command centers for smart home products. Consumers now want their devices to work with contextual relevance and a degree of independence, thereby alleviating the chore of programming each movement from their devices. More broadly, innovations in product interoperability, device intelligence, and humanmachine interfaces will define the next era of smart home devices.

Smart home systems, with their extensive automation, sensing and remote-control capabilities also offer many environmental benefits with healthy home technologies such as air purifiers.

The Future of Mobility The vehicle tech category will be on display in the new West Hall at CES 2022. From self-driving and electric vehicles to Mobility as a Service (MAAS) and C-V2X communications, the ecosystem of manufacturers, suppliers, original equipment manufacturers, aftermarket businesses, and software and chip developers will show the latest advances in vehicle tech.

For example, see autonomous vehicles that can relieve traffic congestion, support ridesharing, lower pollution levels and make driving safer. Although it’s hard to predict when mass deployment of self-driving vehicles will occur, many are now being tested on public roads. During the pandemic new applications like deliveries of groceries and medicines to consumers were delivered by selfdriving vehicles. To help educate the public about self-driving cars, CTA is working with Partners for Automated Vehicle Education (PAVE), a non-profit organization backed by the automotive and technology industries that was launched at CES 2019.

What’s more, electrification of vehicles, represented by plug-in, electric vehicles (EVs) are a big trend demonstrated by GM and Tesla. Globally, many vehicle OEMs have announced plans to produce more EVs in the future. New technologies that sense and analyze data to help solve problems will enable EVs to provide clean transportation for personal vehicles. Building all-electric vehicles with self-driving capabilities integrated from the start, rather than through retrofits, is the safest, most efficient way to unlock the tremendous potential and societal benefits of self-driving cars.

But vehicle tech encompasses more than just cars. Anything that moves can integrate tech like autonomous software, internet connectivity and artificial intelligence. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) safety features are now more common on new vehicles through features like collision warning/ avoidance, active lane keeping and adaptive cruise control. Flying cars or eVTOLs (Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) look to augment existing MaaS business models by incorporating shortrange flights to address medium-range transportation needs.

Uber Elevate (operating between Manhattan and JFK) is one example of this trend.

The Next Internet – The Metaverse

companies are building metaverse-style platforms like Second Life developer Linden Lab. Proponents of the metaverse say this is a generational shift in everything from business to entertainment to social interactions.

Standards Make it Happen

The metaverse is an immersive, always-on, virtual environment created by billions of people interacting with it and each other.

These are shared virtual worlds where avatars—digital versions of us— play, socialize and even work together. Its characteristics include unprecedented interoperability and interactivity — users can take their avatars and goods from one place in the metaverse to another – spurred on by virtual reality (VR) and gaming technology.

Many of the building blocks of this virtualized world are already in play with a vast array of devices, systems, services and applications acting in concert. These technologies will be on display at CES 2022.

5G networks will provide the robust connectivity to support the massive MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) requirements of the metaverse. Cloud computing environments are a central component to operating the metaverse as well as edge compute devices including AR/VR hardware, haptic apparel, cameras, and a host of other sensors and input devices. Volumetric video will be a key construct in the metaverse. Volumetric filmmaking combines the artistry of cinema with the interactivity of video games by using advanced algorithms to render interactive threedimensional moving images.

The new meta economy is rooted in blockchain technology.

Consider the momentum of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) which are blockchain-based digital tokens that provide public proof of ownership of a digital asset like art, music or video. They have become popular as artists and industries like professional sports seek to monetize their craft in the digital realm. This leads to cryptocurrency and the emerging sector of decentralized finance (DEFI), which enables peer to peer transactions using digital coinage, side-stepping traditional centralized financial intermediaries. DEFI models are the new cash and the ultimate expression of the digital wallet.

To achieve a metaverse that is open, like the internet, requires standards for how virtual worlds and avatars are going to interact. CTA is developing standards to support the future of content through its XR Committee and the WAVE Project which aims to improve how internetdelivered commercial video is handled on devices and to make it easier for content creators to distribute video to those devices. Get involved at standards.CTA.tech.

CTA Research CTA’s market research shows shipments of XR eyewear (augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) headsets combined) to the U.S. will more than quadruple from 2021 to 2025. CTA also forecasts that consumer spending on gaming software will grow from $47.6 billion in 2021 to $59 billion in 2025. But the metaverse will be a resource for more than social connections and entertainment. For example, CTA’s XR Enterprise Trends report (October 2021) found companies are using VR initiatives to support training, sales, design, customer engagement and meetings. The research also found that among companies using XR tech in their business, 59% believe it will have a significant impact on their organization over the next five years.

Lucrative Space Tech

To The Stars and Back to CES A host of wealthy entrepreneurs involved in space endeavors include Elon Musk’s SpaceX, Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic, Larry Pages’ Planetary Resources, Mark Cuban’s Relativity Space to Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin. Add to that list, Sierra Space, (a subsidiary of Sierra Nevada Corporation), that launched in April 2021 and is partnering with Blue Origin. The independent commercial space company has a “space-as-a-service” business model that will leverage cutting-edge technologies, such as Dream Chaser® spaceplanes and expandable LIFE™ habitats. SNC has participated in over 500 missions to space, including 14 missions to Mars.

It also is a first-time exhibitor in the new Space Tech category at CES 2022 and is showcasing its spaceplane in Central Plaza.

Following is an excerpt from CTA’s It Is Innovation (i3) magazine with Eren Ozmen chairwoman, president and owner of SNC.

The space economy is expected to grow to almost $1 trillion over the next few decades, from $340 billion in 2019, says the UBS Chief Investment Office, a research arm of the global financial services firm UBS AG. While much excitement is focused on space travel, there are opportunities in addition to tourism including the deployment of more satellite networks needed to satisfy bandwidth demand by automated cars and other internetconnected things.

There is also the potential for asteroid mining and space-based manufacturing in the future. The UBS report says, “Over the next decade, launch costs are predicted to decline 10-fold. Part of this decline will be driven by the mainstream adoption of reusable rocket technology.” Both SpaceX and Blue Origin are expected to send medium-to-heavy payloads into geostationary orbit with their Falcon 9 and New Shepard reusable rockets, respectively.

Blue Origin’s New Shepard was launched into sub-orbital space in July for a 10-minute flight above Earth, with four passengers aboard. Earlier in the month, Virgin Galactic, and five crew members ventured even higher, to the edge of space, in that company’s own space vessel. Topping those trips, SpaceX in September conducted a mission named Inspiration4 to take a crew of four space tourists higher into actual orbit on its Dragon Capsule spaceship.

The space economy is forecast to soar to $1.4 trillion by 2030 with space mining, manufacturing and tourism off-setting costs.

Space manufacturing could comprise growing human organs or new types of fiber optic cables; space mining on asteroids and the moon could yield valuable metals and rare earth minerals.

Can you talk about your partnership with Blue Origin?

Sierra Space and Blue Origin are principal partners on Orbital Reef and we are very excited to join forces with Jeff Bezos to bring this visionary commercial space station to life. By the end of this decade, Orbital Reef will be the premier space station in lowEarth orbit for commerce, research and tourism. Think of it as a space business park. This orbital destination will be commercially developed, owned and operated. It will bring space within reach for business and travel, creating a new ecosystem.

Our Dream Chaser will provide the transportation, and our LIFE modules will provide the destination on Orbital Reef. Sierra Space will also provide a node that will be used for a variety of exploration and logistics functions on the station, including docking ports to connect visiting vehicles and spacecraft. These elements will make the Orbital Reef accessible and flexible so more people, science and businesses can benefit. Sierra Space and Blue Origin are committed to a long-term vision and equal partnership for low-Earth orbit beyond the Orbital Reef.
