The world's biggest gadgets show is here

For a technophobe, the annual Consumer Electronics Show can be an intimidating place. But an enthusiast might feel a bit more like a small child who has been unleashed at FAO Schwarz, the legendary toy company.

There's a frenetic vibe at the show - and millions of dazzling lights - as more than 100,000 visitors weave their way through the crowded Las Vegas Convention Center to check out cutting-edge technology on display during the four-day convention, running Thursday through Sunday.

This year, the most closely watched product categories will include tablets, smartphones, connected TVs and 3D TVs.

Topics that will be discussed are the macro trends driving the future of consumer electronics and entertainment - whether you're setting up your home entertainment system or completing your studio's 3D development budget. Here's a sneak peek.
