Big companies like Sony and HTC are developing various VR gadgets and the CES 2016 will definitely be a great opportunity for these companies to unveil their VR techs.

Other exhibits will highlight robotics, smart-home technology and high-end home-entertainment systems. It has also been stated that “bags and backpacks with many pockets are not helpful”. That doesn’t mean that the show will be a disappointment – the new Mercedes E Class, one of the marque’s most important cars, will be making its global debut, as will the new Porsche 911 Turbo. Delphi will still be at the show in 2016, but now there are also 11 carmakers in attendance, from Audi to VW, and all have innovations aplenty.
