CES 2023 has come to an end. As a major technology show, according to the official website of the International Consumer Electronics Show, 493 Chinese companies will participate this year. But according to reports, in 2020, before the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, the number of Chinese companies participating in CES reached 1,000.
It has to be mentioned that domestic mobile phone manufacturers, which have always been in a hurry, are absent from this CES. Despite this, some domestic manufacturers have started to shine at CES with their cars, Metaverse and related technologies, and some are still remarkable in large-screen products, PCs, AR/VR/MR, and new energy.
The following are some trends of Chinese brands at this CES that TechNode continues to observe.
HTC
At CES 2023, HTC VIVE launched a new flagship XR all-in-one machine – HTC VIVE XR Elite Kit. This device has a light and compact body, rich and powerful functions, and flexible and changeable shapes, integrating VR and MR functions into one.
The HTC VIVE XR Elite Kit is equipped with an RGB color see-through camera. It adopts a very compact design and an upgraded hinge structure, so that the temples can cover the user’s head like a traditional all-in-one machine. The elite suit adopts a magnetic facial fabric pad, which supports disassembly and is convenient for users to clean and replace. The HTC VIVE XR Elite Kit weighs 625 grams. The battery uses a USB-C interface, supports 30W fast charging, and supports hot swapping. Fully charged for up to 2 hours of battery life. In addition, there is another USB-C interface on the right side of the fuselage, which can be connected to a power bank or a power supply to power the headset.
The speaker of the VIVE XR Elite Kit supports enhanced sound field and balanced directional sound and lens diopter adjustment. It is also designed with a fine-tuning slider for interpupillary distance to enhance the wearing experience. It is equipped with 4 tracking cameras with a wide field of view and a depth sensor. It is also equipped with a 6DoF control handle, which supports hand tracking and capacitive sensing of finger movements. Hand tracking can be further enhanced with the VIVE wrist-mounted tracker from HTC.
It is worth mentioning that the VIVE XR Elite Kit has the flexibility that ordinary all-in-one machines do not have. It can be switched to glasses after removing the rear battery and installing temple pads, which is convenient for users to switch modes according to different usage scenarios and needs. .
Anker Innovation
Anker Innovations entered the 3D printing market in 2022, and launched its first 3D printer, AnkerMake M5, on Kickstarter, becoming the 3D printer with the most crowdfunding funds on Kickstarter.
Anker Innovations carried the AnkerMake M5 to demonstrate at CES 2023. The standard mode printing speed of this machine is 250 mm/s, which is five times faster than other 3D printers and can reduce printing time by up to 70%. The M5 can be easily set up within 15 minutes. It is also equipped with a built-in camera and AI printing monitoring function. With the AnkerMake V6 color engine, it can print up to six different colors in a single project.
RoboSense Sagitar
For popular models, lidar is gradually becoming standard. The popularity of lidar is directly related to the current requirements of new energy vehicles for intelligent driving. It can enrich the “perception” capability of vehicles and provide “safety redundancy”. RoboSense, a smart lidar company, made its public debut at this CES for its all-solid-state blind-filling lidar RS-LiDAR-E1 and the second-generation smart solid-state lidar RS-LiDAR-M series.
According to the official website of Sagitar Juchuang, the E1 has a 120°×90° ultra-wide FOV, supports an ultra-high refresh frame rate exceeding 25Hz, and has a ranging capability of 30 meters @ 10%, with a maximum distance of 100 meters. Facing the mass production of car-standard pre-installation, E1 adopts all-solid-state architecture and ultra-thin body design, integrates industry-leading self-developed chips, and has no moving parts inside, taking into account the detection performance of lidar, cost advantages and car-level safety and reliability sex.
The Sagitar M series products have the advantages of high performance, high scalability, and high reliability under the blessing of the two key technologies of two-dimensional MEMS galvanometer and modular optical module.
pole star
Polestar, a high-end brand under Geely, displayed the Smart Eye driver monitoring system that is standard for all Polestar 3 series at this CES. As intelligent assisted driving becomes more and more intelligent, the disadvantages of drivers’ over-reliance on it have gradually emerged. In the past two years, there have been many cases of vehicle accidents caused by driver distraction.
Composed of two closed-loop driver status monitoring cameras, this system of Polestar 3 can detect and analyze the movements of the driver’s head, eyes and eyelids, and can send out warning signals and sound warnings when the driver is distracted. , and even trigger emergency braking.
Extreme krypton
An Conghui, CEO of Jikrypton, an electric vehicle brand owned by Geely, appeared at CES in Las Vegas, USA. In an interview with foreign media, he said that Jikrypton aims to double sales to about 140,000 vehicles in 2023, and plans to expand sales in Europe.
An Conghui said in an interview that later this year, Jikrypton plans to start selling cars with assisted driving systems designed by Mobileye in Europe. Mobileye is a subsidiary of US chip giant Intel. In August 2021, Intel announced that Mobileye will cooperate with Jikrypton to jointly develop the advanced driver assistance ADAS system.
Jikrypton also demonstrated a prototype of a self-driving service vehicle at CES with Waymo, Alphabet’s robo-taxi subsidiary. An Conghui said that the plan is to produce cars for Waymo in China, but it may also be produced in the United States, “depending on market conditions.” However, Jikrypton currently has no plans to enter the US consumer market.
Yardi
Yadea’s KEENESS VFD is exhibiting this time. It is Yadea’s first electric motorcycle. Its appearance is similar to that of ordinary traditional motorcycles. It has sharp lines and a body with sharp edges and corners.
Yadea KEENESS VFD is equipped with a 5-inch full LCD screen and will be equipped with a car-machine interconnection system that supports interconnection with mobile apps to keep track of vehicle information. It also provides NFC keyless system and cruise control functions; different from traditional fuel motorcycles, pure electric The driven Yardi KEENESS VFD serves as a storage space in the traditional “oil tank” position.
In terms of performance, the car is equipped with a VFD-10KW mid-mounted motor, with a peak power of 10KW, a maximum torque of 280N.m, and a maximum speed of 100km/h. The capacity of each battery is 2.3kW·h, the total capacity is 4.6kWh, and the NEDC cruising range reaches 140 kilometers.
At the meeting, Yadea also launched the world’s first high-end electric scooter ElitePrime. ElitePrime is equipped with a powerful motor with a peak power of 1500W, a peak torque of 40N.m, and a maximum speed of 30km/h; with super power support, the climbing gradient can reach 30%. One-piece design style, the whole vehicle frame is made of aviation-grade aluminum alloy, with a unique front and rear single-side cantilever organic polymer shock-absorbing structure, making riding more comfortable.
