A couple of things that I think people will recognise is wearable technology,\" she says.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I'm also interested in all of the curved devices that I'm seeing here, curved TVs, curved phones.\"\u003cbr/\u003eUnlike the 3-D TV trend, which quickly eroded into a tech fad in recent years, analysts say Ultra HD may actually catch on. \u003cbr/\u003eWith screens that house four times more pixels than regular HD TVs, Ultra HD is considered to be a simple enough upgrade to gain widespread adoption in the next few years. \u003cbr/\u003eThose checking out what's on show here in Las Vegas seem impressed. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Man, it's awesome. It blew my mind already when I walked in. I'm sitting there all excited,\" says Athicha Dhanormchitphong.\u003cbr/\u003eBut the question running through many the minds of many analysts at the show is whether or not consumers will get much out of the Ultra HD technology.\u003cbr/\u003e\"This year everybody has 4K TVs. So everybody's excited about that, but the technology, it's not there for the people,\" says Jonathan Roubini from Lab Reviews.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Because if you go out and buy a 4K TV all you're doing is you're watching - if you're lucky -  your 1080p TV streaming from your cable company and most times it's 1080i or 720p. So you don't really get the quality that you would expect from a 4K TV. So you paid a premium price for the hardware but it might take another few years until we start seeing 4K streaming.\"\u003cbr/\u003eBut that's not keeping visitors - and buyers of new technology away. \u003cbr/\u003eShuxiong Wang is a buyer from Fuzhou in eastern China.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We're just looking for some new electrical and digital things from the world and we're going to import things to China,\" he says. \u003cbr/\u003eWhile smartphones have been grabbing headlines in recent years, smartphone cases have lagged behind. \u003cbr/\u003eBut a new shell called the \"Yellow Jacket\" is, quite literally, creating quite a buzz. \u003cbr/\u003eNot for how it protects the phone, but how it's been designed to protect the user.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Yellow Jacket\" has a built-in stun gun. \u003cbr/\u003eCompany representative Donavin Britt says it's all about being prepared if danger strikes. \u003cbr/\u003e\"People use things like pepper spray and mace to save themselves but they keep it in their purse, keep it underneath all their stuff in their glove compartment,\" he explains.\u003cbr/\u003e\"And in the moment of truth they find that even opening the glove compartment to get to it while someone's attacking you is next to impossible.\"\u003cbr/\u003eWearable technology is everywhere at CES this year - from virtual reality headsets, to exercise bands and health monitors.\u003cbr/\u003eZachary Jean Paradis, an analyst at Innovation Strategy, says it's the stuff of the future - and it's here to stay. \u003cbr/\u003e\"The thing is is as the divide that we have, that has been in place between the physical and digital world continues to collapse. Things like wearables are perhaps the key to unlocking those worlds mending together completely,\" he says.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Because with something like a wearable you might enable your identity to be carried from device to device, to place to place in a way that's even more fluid than your phone could ever be.\"\u003cbr/\u003eParadis says wearable category will turn out to be more important than smartphones.\u003cbr/\u003eCES opened to the public on Tuesday 7 January following a series of preview events. \u003cbr/\u003eAround 3,200 exhibitors were set to attend this year's event. \u003cbr/\u003eAP Television\u003cbr/\u003eLas Vegas, Nevada - 7 January 2014\u003cbr/\u003e1.
