Summary
Many drones now have 4k cameras, and some even have infrared cameras!
There even was a drone counterveillance and interception system.
Meanwhile, virtual reality and augmented reality demos were amazing – NASA scientists are using VR to place themselves on the surface of Mars and direct the rover there to sample certain rocks, or move in a certain direction to explore.
OLED TV displays are becoming as thin as a picture frame or two smartphones stacked together.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Almost Here, Around the Corner of Future Technology Podcasts with Richard Jacobs. |
| 0:07.9 | Future Technologies are poised to transform our lives for better or worse for the focus of this podcast. |
| 0:13.6 | Almost here means these technologies are now here and starting to be used. |
| 0:18.2 | We're just around the corner. |
| 0:19.7 | From Bitcoin to artificial intelligence 3d printing |
| 0:22.6 | blockchain virtual reality and more hello this is richard jacobs from future tech podcasts |
| 0:30.4 | around the corner almost here technology today is going to be a recap of c s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, 2017. |
| 0:39.3 | I just got back. I was there for a couple days, checking out the conference, |
| 0:43.3 | and I wanted to relate to listeners some things I saw that may be of interest to you. |
| 0:48.3 | So in the TV world, there's a new type of TV called O-L-E-D, beautiful picture, just like 4K and all those other technologies. |
| 0:59.0 | But these TVs are really thin. They're about the width of two cell phones, maybe a little bit less. |
| 1:07.0 | So if they sit in a base, the TV itself is ultra-tallra-th thin. If you hang it on a wall, I mean, it's essentially like having a picture on the wall. Pretty amazing. And they had all kinds of sizes. Saw some TVs that were up to 150 inches. There's some new projection technology that has really, really high clarity, and people |

| 1:51.0 | There was, you know, all the regular drones now, most of them have cameras on them, 4K cameras, |
| 1:57.0 | some have infrared cameras, so they can see heat signatures. One kind of cool one was the e-hang, the gigantic drone that a person can sit in. |
| 2:08.6 | It has dual propellers on each arm, so it has a total, from what I saw, eight propellers. |
| 2:15.6 | It's huge. If they turned that thing on the |
| 2:17.6 | conference, it would have killed everybody and shredded them. It was pretty cool. I got some |
