The company will also demonstrate its Vision™ Runtime, XOLinux operating system and Vision cloud-based software suite for device, user and software management. XOEye is demonstrating the operational and safety benefits and numerous market applications of the XOne glasses and software solutions. As new technologies have been enabling professionals throughout the world to work and collaborate remotely, commercial and industrial workers still require a practical telepresence solution for performing technical operations in the field alongside remote teams and management. The XOne glasses and software suite virtually place a third party in a remote location, allowing for a shared, hands-on telepresence experience in real- ChargePoint (Cont'd. from p. 31) says Dimitrios Papadogonas, ChargePoint's Vice President of Marketing. For instance, in the 2014 BMW i3, drivers will be able to get turn-by-turn directions to the nearest available charging station right from their car's dashboard. It's integrated right into the navigation system, allowing BMW to offer its customers an added level of ease and convenience. Because one size doesn't fit all, ChargePoint's business model gives Smart SoundCase (Cont'd. from p. 1) CEDN: What was the most significant event or series of events affecting your company in the past year? AO: Last year at CES, we introduced our product SmartSound Case, which is a case that amplifies the sound of a phone's built-in speaker without using batteries. It has received the Innovation in Engineering and Design Award, and has been highlighted as an environmentally friendly product by Greener Gadgets. It also received massive interest and publicity on major networks such as ABC, CNN, FOX, Popular Science and more. CEDN: Are you introducing any new products? AO: This year, our company is introducing new flexible display technology and innovative ideas that will shape the time; allowing workers to remotely perform and share manual operations, employee training, diagnostics and quality control operations with remote teams from nearly any environment. end-to-end solution XOEye's includes its easy-to-use Vision cloudbased storage and management software for simple recording and archiving of operations for later retrieval and sharing, along with applications for managing users, devices and files. "In today's increasingly distributed workplace with remote workers and field technicians performing many businesscritical frontline work and customer interactions, there is a clear market opportunity emerging to record these events and even stream them to other personnel for remote support and oversight," said CEO Aaron Salow, XOEye Technologies. "There are myriad applications for this technology, and internally our focus is on creating highly targeted solutions for key blue collar industrial segments like IT, field services and manufacturing. We're also aggressively looking for entrepreneurs, visionaries, developers and partners to pursue other markets, which is why we are actively moving forward with our open API and our developer portal."

Players can even design their own maps and share them over social media. User-made maps are then inserted into the game's campaign for the world to play. As FlipSquare's lead developer Matt Sich put it, "With this app, the users don't just play the game; they make the game." This sort of innovation is why Petros Media is seeing FlipSquare quickly being propelled into the highest echelons of app gaming. "We're at CES for the first time ever because this app deserves to be debuted on a global stage," said McCann. Critics have hailed FlipSquare as the next big thing in app gaming not only because of its revolutionary concept, but its immaculate design. Clean, simple and beautiful, FlipSquare is set apart from the rest of the market. Designed with iOS 7 in mind, FlipSquare's parallax interface and intuitive layout make for a user experience that is second to none. CES attendees can look forward to a hands-on demo of FlipSquare at Petros Media's booth on the first floor of the Venetian, where McCann says they will be surprising users with some impressive property owners the flexibility and control they need to offer EV charging to employees, customers and residents in a way that makes sense for their business. Through this model, ChargePoint sells its charging stations and service plans to property owners, and then they're able to decide who gets to charge and how much they'll pay for the service, according to Papadogonas. For instance, a shopping center owner might decide to offer the charging at a very modest cost as a service to customers. "Drivers want to be able to plug in wherever they eat, work and play, and by putting in public charging, property owners can attract this upscale group of drivers," Papadogonas says. An employer might offer the use of the charging stations only to employees as a way to attract the best and the brightest. "If you're a parking lot operator, you will charge for EV charging. For healthcare, you may want to provide it for free to employees but charge a modest fee to visitors. We sell the stations and offer services, so that you can decide who gets to charge on your station and how," explains Papadogonas. This flexibility for property owners is responsible for ChargePoint's 70 percent market share of public EV charging stations, with more than 15,000 stations on the ChargePoint network, Papadogonas says. industry. We are introducing the adjustable flexible panel display for smartwatches, smartphones and TVs that can be viewed in flat or curved screen. mainstream is that most producers are trying to bend the main body, which contains the circuit board and batteries, along with the flexible display panel. We are introducing ways that flexible display technology does not have to wait a few more years in order to be fully adopted, but can be fully applied immediately. Even mass production is possible by applying our adjustable flexible panel display concept and design. CEDN: What is your outlook in general for this product line?

AO: For SmartSound Case, we have merged the concepts of built-in kickstands and the concept of amplifying sound. So as we kept the original function of the kickstand, we utilized the kickstand as amplifier like a horn. It is a lightweight, portable, heavy duty and easy to use smartphone case with a passive sound amplification system. While many companies are releasing flexible display smartphones, smartwatches and TVs, some industry experts say the flexible devices have a year or more until they become more mainstream. One of the main reasons for the delay of flexible product in the CEDN: What distinguishes your products from the competition? AO: The SmartSound Case is patented in the U.S., and worldwide patents are currently pending. Our patents were processed almost instantaneously, testifying to the ingenuity of the concept and design.
