The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2018 will be held this month in Las Vegas, Nevada. It will be a showcase of the new devices and technological advancements from popular brands all over the world. Already there are three things to expect to steal the show: Augmented Reality (AR), electric cars, and high-end televisions with High Dynamic Range (HDR) support.

Virtual reality (VR) was the first push into an ultimately immersive gaming and entertainment eperience. The platform gained popularity because of headsets like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. However, being that VR is now mainstream, it may take a backseat to AR technologies.

One of the most popular examples of AR in action is Niantic's game "Pokemon Go." In the game, players see a different world through their Android phones. The game tracks the user's position in the real world via Global Positioning System (GPS) and projects Pokemon on the screen— collectible monsters that players can catch and raise.

It is likely that AR will be taken to the next level at CES, especially since Apple is exhibiting their ARKit framework. They can use AR technology for anything from decorating selfies to analyzing traffic patterns.

Electric cars will also make an appearance.

While Elon Musk's Tesla is at the forefront of electric car technology, companies like Ford are getting in on the business, as well.

Ford Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jim Hackett recently delivered a speech that discussed "the future of transportation," presumably a reference to the electric car models to be unveiled at CES.

Meanwhile, TVs are getting more and more sophisticated, as companies like LG and Sony vie for TV model supremacy. Most of the TVs to be showcased utilize organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology.

Another common feature for new TV models is HDR, which promises even more definition for each individual color. Of course, it should be noted that 4K resolution seems to be the standard for high-end TVs nowadays.
