And since 3D printing is clearly becoming the next best thing in technology, it clearly had a major impact at CES 2015 as well. The ChefJet Food printer was a very interesting one, since it 3D prints food, which is a major achievement to say the least! Alongside that, some other notable 3D printers were the Cubify CubePro 3D, FSL3D Pegasus Touch, Orian Delta, as well as the Polar 3D printer.
Other interesting releases here are the dual door oven by Samsung, the ChillHub which is a smart fridge, as well as numerous other devices that lead towards a smart house.

Some new smart watches were presented at CES 2015 too, with the Alcatel OneTouch, Garmin Vivoactive, Sony Smartwatch and the Garmin Fenix 3, among many others. Numerous fitness wearables were presented at the event as well, and the Gymwatch, Magellan Echo Fit, LifeTrak Gem and even the DigitSole being the most important ones, although numerous others were presented there too.
As expected, hardware was the most important thing at CES 2015, with numerous people coming from all over the world just to see 4K and even 8K TVs, as well as numerous other neat devices for gaming or other purposes. Even so, many startups were present at CES 2015, showing that small groups of people with simple ideas can bring some impressive results!
Another thing to mention is that tablets are slowly losing ground, whereas the PCs are getting their strength back. Numerous tablet PCs were presented at the event, one of them being the new ASUS Transformer Book.
These are the most important items and products presented at CES 2015. The event was jam packed with interesting things to see, and we recommend you to keep an eye on many of these products, as they are definitely going to revolutionize the tech world going forward.
