Omdia industry leading analysts discover ingenuity and imagination in tech
for Innovation Awards at ShowStoppers @ CES 2024

Omdia, https://omdia.tech.informa.com/, the global analyst and advisory leader, reviewed the latest and greatest products from startups and tech companies from across the globe with an industry-leading analyst panel to host and judge the Omdia Innovation Awards at ShowStoppers^® at CES 2024, https://www.showstoppers.com/, held on Tuesday, 9 Jan. 2023, 6-10 p.m., at Bellagio Hotel, Grand Ballroom, Las Vegas, NV., USA. The panel of judges evaluated new consumer electronics, smart home and robotics, gaming and home entertainment, fitness and health, productivity and other products that were introduced at ShowStoppers.

Creative innovators merged outstanding design and brilliant engineering into life-changing, fun, and useful tech for work, home, and play. Companies showcased everything from health monitoring using AI in smart lighting, smart glasses that alter lens shape for autofocus, to over-the-counter hearing aids that sit outside the ear canal to blend natural and processed sound. Smart two-in-one robots that vacuum and mop floors, or mow the grass and transform into snow blowers roamed the show floor, amid speakers projecting audio and scent for immersive gaming, and an array of smartphone personalized components displayed with retro-designed add-ons like BlackBerry keyboards for iPhones.

“Showstoppers always provides Omdia analysts a platform to discover fresh products and ideas,” said Paul Gray, Research Director, Consumer Electronics & ProAV at Omdia. “There was an incredible buzz to the event again this year, and the judging team was excited to explore products that addressed real needs and offered innovative answers. As always, the face-to-face conversations and demonstrations helped to make this event valuable.”
