Speaker 1: Hey guys, I’m here at Samsung’s booth at CES 2024. We’re going to give you a behind the scenes look before anybody else arrives and look. First, this is Samsung City. What do you guys think? It’s a bunch of little white buildings. They have some city names here. We got micro LED, city Hall. Look, there’s Jet Bot, AI Combo Park, who knew? And right next to that we got a Neo QLED loft. And of course the family hub lookout, which I hear has excellent ribs. There’s the smart oven tower and Watch Lake. So this is a little tip. What’s going [00:00:30] on here Before you get into the booth itself, follow me. We’re going to take you inside. Speaker 1: So Samsung has one of the largest booths, if not the largest, maybe I haven’t checked at CES 2024. This is the heart of it all. Let’s start over here. They’re talking about sustainability. So one of the cool things that Samsung does, guys, can I just put something right in here? Absolutely. And do this. So what’s Samsung is demonstrating here is this is their sustainability display, [00:01:00] and it’s actually pretty cool. It’s interactive here. So I’m going to recycle. Looks like a lithium ion secondary battery. I guess this is something that you found in a phone or something like that. I’m going to go, you know what? Let’s see what happens with this thing. So, oh, give it a second. There goes the battery. This is it turning into a resource. It was waste before, but now it’s being recycled and turned into a resource. Look at that. There it is. [00:01:30] That’s a resource. Speaker 1: Pretty cool, pretty cool display to visualize all the stuff that Samsung’s doing with sustainability. There’s a bunch of the things that they’re using over here to kind of show off the materials they’re using. They’re a little more sustainable. We have recycled plastic boxes. Recycled graphic sheets are saying the Galaxy Book four Ultra is one of the most recycled products in there. So they have a lot of different things that they’re doing to kind of help the environment. Chemical recycled resin and a Samsung’s upcycling [00:02:00] project. So all this is here in the booth. We’re going to take you over to talk about energy. Now, Samsung’s has a Smart Things app that’s a smart home sort of hub for everything. So what they’re doing now is they’re using an AI energy mode to reduce energy consumption across devices. So the idea is you can track the energy consumption of all the devices that are connected to your Samsung SmartHub. Speaker 1: I asked them whether this actually works with only Samsung devices or any device. You can actually plug something like a third party washer dryer into [00:02:30] one of the smart plugs that works with Samsung Smart Home and it’ll yes, report that energy tracking if it’s compatible. So pretty cool. You can integrate all these things into your smart home. And again, the idea is to make it visible, make it obvious how much energy you’re using. You can see over here too, they also have a partnership with Tesla. They got a Powerwall here. There’s even a new solar panel technology, a solar roof, which are basically roof tiles on the solar that transmit solar energy to look just like [00:03:00] a roof instead of having something that looks more unsightly like a standard solar panel. So pretty cool here. There are partnerships they’re showing off. One of the things about Samsung Smart things is that they do have a ton of partners. Speaker 1: I’ll talk about that in a second. But here we will drop off here at the audio subtitles. And these are some accessibility features that they’re building into their televisions. So new for this year. They have an audio subtitles feature that actually listens to the audio sub track and AI turns it into words on the bottom of the screen. So let’s say there isn’t subtitles that come [00:03:30] with that particular program. You can turn this feature on and it’ll essentially read them out loud to you. So if you’re visually impaired, it’ll read the subtitles at the same time that it’s recognizing them. So that’s pretty cool. And of course, they’ll help visually impaired users enjoy their tv. So there’s some text speech going on, some ai. Pretty cool features, especially if you have those subtitles on all the time. So many of us do these days, and this is a remote that is actually used to make it a little bit more accessible. Speaker 1: People that are with Low Vision can enjoy [00:04:00] their television, so they’re doing some cool things with that. I’m going to take you over to the smart thing section, which is big as you can see here. This is the center right of Samsung’s booth. And briefly, smart Thingss is their smart home system that integrates with hundreds of other partners. And this is kind of a demonstration of how it all works together. So they’re talking about how you can have remote monitoring of your home when you’re away. You can do a lot of other things. There’s a map view that they’ve [00:04:30] added to smart things over here. So the idea with this map view is that it actually allows you to map your home. So the cool part about that is you can have, for example, a map of your home and it’ll show you all the different rooms and all the different smart home devices that work within those rooms. And that kind of thing, again, shows you a visual representation of that smart home. And that all works on Samsung television. So of course Samsung makes a ton of televisions as well. They’re integrating all these things between those smart [00:05:00] home devices and the biggest screen in the house, which is pretty cool. So let’s see what else we got here. Let’s take you around the corner. Speaker 1: I don’t work here. I just do the tours real quickly. They have some technologies to care for, loved ones. For example, medication reminders. There’s even apps designed for family caregiver to kind of make it a little bit easier for folks to take care of people [00:05:30] in the home. And of course, they have a new optional camera that’s built on their televisions, so you can connect that to the tv and it’s not really working right now, so a little bit of demo fail, but we actually have the, oh, there it is. Hey, look. Hi. Hi. Of course the camera’s totally optional. You don’t need to have it, but that’s another little extra that they’re building in the TVs. I think it’ll work with third party cameras as well. Let’s go around the corner. There’s some gaming stuff that is a part of it. Oh, we’ll do the pet section first. Speaker 1: Another part of Samsung’s booth [00:06:00] is devoted to pet care. That’s right, they do have a little device that you can attach to the pup itself. Hi little guy, and you could track him. It’s called the Galaxy Smart Tag two. And of course you can use that kind of to track our furry friend here anywhere you want to go. We also have another section devoted to pet care. You can stay connected to your pets wherever you are. This demonstration here looks like it’s doing [00:06:30] some kind of remote veterinary service, so you can use that to talk to your vet and diagnose your pet from home. Pretty cool. What else we got going on here? This is the gaming section. We can blast through here real quick. A lot of these things, this is a PC gaming monitor that uses glasses free 3D technology. So the idea is you can play a game in 3D without glasses, uses eye [00:07:00] tracking technology. Speaker 1: I don’t think this is a product that they’ve announced specifically yet. This is more of a technology demo, but certainly pretty cool to be able to see that in action here. It works with any gaming device and got an Xbox connected to it here. It looks pretty good. I’ve seen it tracks the eye relatively well. We’ve seen this technology a little bit in some of these monitors before, so we’ll move right along. This is Samsung’s Game Hub. A couple of tweaks this year. This is the system that allows [00:07:30] the, it doesn’t look like it’s working right now, so we’ll keep going. What else? They’re showing off their gaming hub. This has been in their TV for the last couple of years. It’s basically a cloud gaming service, includes Microsoft Cloud gaming as well as a few others. Luna GeForce. Now the idea is you can game on the TVs by connecting a Bluetooth controller and not have to use any kind of console. So pretty cool for remote gaming, secondary TVs, that kind of thing. If you want to use the cloud gaming feature and one of the coolest things here, [00:08:00] we have a little demo we’re going to check out. I’m going to try and hoist myself into this seat Speaker 2: Here. Speaker 1: All right, let’s play. Alright, so this is very immersive. The bucket seat doesn’t quite move, but you get the idea. Oh no, somebody’s driving for me. What’s going on with this? Anyway, pretty cool. Demo. I’m going to crash real quick. Speaker 2: Yeah, Speaker 1: That’s good stuff. All right, very immersive. All right, so what’s, Speaker 2: [00:08:30] Oh my gosh. Okay, Speaker 1: So now we’ll take you over to, oh, is this a robot going on? We had a demo of Samsung’s robot right over here. It’s called Bali. Let’s check it out real quick. It Speaker 2: Looks like Tony’s about to start workouts when working out Bali can protect your workout video Speaker 1: Wherever you’re, so that’s Bali. Samsung’s introducing a new AI powered robot. That’s what you get when you go to CES is a live demo of that robot doing [00:09:00] all the things that it’s supposed to be doing. We’ll take you around real quick to the back of the booth. Speaker 1: Lots of TVs. Samsung makes TVs, they’re really big. That’s micro LED. Very big, very expensive, very bright, pretty cool technology. I think this was about 140 inches. Nice size there, and probably a hundred thousand dollars, maybe a little more. We have micro LED craftsmanship, which again shows how this new technology is being created. And then this thing they [00:09:30] announced recently, this is a transparent micro LED brand new for 2024. I’m going to stand here because it tells me to on the sign and experience the fact that I can see through these micro LEDs to the other display behind it. This isn’t announced in the market yet. We’re not seeing where it’s going to appear. This is basically the first time this has ever been shown, but it’s another transparent display technology to compete against transparent oled. So pretty cool. It’s brighter from what I’ve seen, so that’s neat to see. We got a few other [00:10:00] TVs here. They’re eight K Neo QLED. Speaker 1: We got, that’s an 85 inch right there. The Neo QLED technology, it’s basically their highest end tv. They’re saying it’s much brighter this year. They’re using some AI processing to improve the image quality, and that’ll improve motion tracking. It’ll even do upscaling from standard definition up to eight K, which is the first time they’re saying that’s the first time we’ve seen that. Samsung’s [00:10:30] also going to be bringing this out up to 98 inches in screen size. So I don’t think there’s a 98 back there, but still extremely large and impressive. We also have a whole bunch of appliances, other devices here. You basically saw half of the Samsung booth, but I’m going to say goodbye because Samsung’s booth really massive, some really cool things here at CES 2024. Thanks a lot.
