At CES 2012, companies roll out smart TVs with motion control, voice commands
LAS VEGAS — If you were expecting a whiz-bang, must-have product to be unveiled at the
Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this year, I’m not sure I’ve seen it. This year’s exhibition has been more about trends than about big halo devices or services.
One big trend this year centers on “smart TVs.” More specifically, that means TVs that connect to the Internet, have apps, run Android, can tell you the weather, plug into services like Netflix or Hulu, and generally don’t act much like a television. These sets also tout motion controls (a la Microsoft’s Kinect Xbox peripheral), accept voice commands, and interface with complex remotes that feature trackpads and QWERTY keyboards.
