THE ANNUAL GADGET FEST KNOWN AS CES IS NOW UNDERWAY WITH ALL THE NEW ULTRA HIGH-DEF TVS AND HANDHELD DEVICES ON DISPLAY...AS WELL AS SOME GADGETS YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU NEEDED...LIKE THIS ROBOT MASSAGER.
HEALTH CARE IS A BIG THEME IN 2013.
THIS KIOSK ALLOWS PATIENTS TO SEE DOCTORS REMOTELY AT A PHARMACY OR OTHER LOCATIONS.

[SOT/Steve Cashman/CEO & Founder - HealthSpot] ("What we're trying to do is provide convenient health care at your local pharmacy. You're sick. You go our mobile app. You touch a few buttons, say I have some inner ear pain. Next thing you know you're in the pharmacy, seeing a doc and walking out with a script all conveniently in 10 or 15 minutes."
NEW WAYS TO INTERACT WITH OUR DEVICES IS A TREND THIS YEAR.
CHIP MAKER INTEL DEBUTED AN INTERACTIVE 3D GESTURE CAMERA.

THERE'S ALWAYS PLENTY NEW FOR GAMERS HERE...LIKE THE WORLD'S FIRST TABLET SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR PC GAMING.
BUT SOME SAY THIS YEAR'S CES BUZZ WORD IS EVOLUTIONARY NOT REVOLUTIONARY.
[SOT/Scott Steinberg/Technology Analyst] ("Prices are going down. Power is going up and this fundamentally changes consumption habits and consumer expectations. Singularity user experience, convenience, value, these are going to become the watch words going forward. It's not necessarily about the latest and greatest gadgets.")
