As Over Coffee® counts down to CES® 2019, here’s another of our most popular episodes from the previous show. We can’t wait to see the latest updates, in Las Vegas!
As 2019 begins...
In less than a year, there may be a vision-restoring device available to the partially blind in the U.S.
Computers may get kids more active, as opposed to making them more sedentary.
And a "smart" system will allow you to grow your fresh vegetables right in your kitchen, even if you're anything but an expert gardener!
And those are just from our visit to CES® 2018, last January!
As we head for CES® 2019, here are three favorite innovators from our 2018 visit to Eureka Park®, which is CES®' startup arena. We talked with Tal Lotan, CEO of Israel-based ICI Vision;
