What to expect in CES 2020 Live Blog: The latest news from day 4 of the tech show

CES is nearly over. There’s really only  one more day on the show floor, so today, Thursday, January 9, is the last chance for most people to try out the coolest tech of the week.

CES 2020 what to expect

We’ll be updating this post throughout Day 4 with the latest news, photos, product announcements, and more from the Digital Trends staff on the ground at CES 2020.

CES 2020 what to expect

Digital Trends’ Ongoing CES Coverage And the winner is…

By Allison Matyus

6:43 a.m. We’ve seen lots of groundbreaking new tech the past couple days at CES, but to us, one reigns supreme. 

In terms of technology that really could impact people for the better, the BrainCo Dexus takes the cake for this year’s top tech winner.

The prosthetic arm uses a brain-machine interface to allow the wearer to control the arm entirely by their own thoughts, just as a regular arm would. We got to see the arm up close, and even shake someone’s hand, and were blown away by how seamless the limb was able to move. 

Another thing we applaud is its price: $10,000 for a prosthetic arm is much more affordable and accessible to more people who actually need it than the $40,000 that many other prostheses cost. 

What you missed on Day 3

By Mathew Katz

Yesterday was when we really got a chance to spend quality time with products and bigwigs from some of tech’s biggest companies.

DT Editor-in-Chief Jeremy Kaplan found out exclusively from Google’s diversity boss that the company has spent the past few years developing a 2,000-person group of “inclusion champions” to make sure all kinds of people are involved in developing Google products. The search giant has had issues with diversity in its products in the past — including a camera that wasn’t rendering everyone’s skin tones correctly — so this is a welcome change.

We also found out what Quibi is (yes, that’s a real company). It’s a streaming service coming April 6 that offers up what it describes as “quick bites” that run for 10 minutes or less. Some big names have signed on for Quibi’s 175 shows, including Chrissy Teigen, Tyra Banks, and Joe Jonas. Quibi’s big gimmick is that you can watch its shows on your phone either vertically or horizontally — it’s built for both.
