And Samsung is expected to face industry players for the first time at a large event since last year's Galaxy Note 7 recall.STORY-LINE:The Las Vegas Convention Centre might not look spectacular, at least compared to some of Sin City's hotels.But over the next week this 300,000 square metre (3,200,000 square feet) centre will become a global technology hotspot, where some of the world's largest technology companies aim to wow with their latest gadgets. The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) opens on January 5, but media and specially invited guests are getting a first look today and tomorrow (January 3 and 4).Over 3,800 exhibitors will be at the show, keen to show off their latest products to 165,000 visitors, from 150 countries.The show has traditionally been the place where the latest televisions are unveiled, and this year is unlikely to be different, says Nicole Scott, editor of the Mobile Geeks technology news website.But there will also be a focus on self-driving cars and virtual reality, with Scott saying we're likely to see some \"experimental innovation\" within VR.\"You know, there is not one huge trend that anyone is really exited about, but I think there are a number of different areas that people are looking to see more of,\" says Roger Cheng, editor of CNET.\"That are things like self-driving cars, internet of things. Hoping to see more of virtual reality.\"Wearable devices, such as smartwatches and smart glasses, have been talked about over the last few years as the next big thing in technology.But smartwatch sales declined rapidly in 2016 according to marker research company IDC, signalling that the genre must evolve in order to attract new customers. \"2016 showed us that smartwatches aren't really a thing,\" says Scott.\"But wearables are definitely still a category. But it's not going to be just fitness trackers. This year I'm going to be looking for exoskeletons and sensors in clothing, and maybe some new ways of tracking me inside the world.\" \"So, maybe the car and the wearable combined for, you know, a complete look at fitness. So it's going to be a new evolution of what we are thinking of as wearables and maybe not so much a smartwatch or smart glasses.\"One company expected to be firmly in the spotlight is South Korean tech maker, Samsung.In October, the company said it was discontinuing production of its Galaxy Note 7 smartphone permanently because of overheating handsets.The company is expected to launch a number of mid-range phones at CES, the first launch since the Galaxy Note 7 mid-2016.\"Usually we don't care about mid-range phones,\" says Scott.\"But this is the first smartphone that they are releasing since the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco. So it is going to be really important to see how they deal with the launch in terms of messaging and in terms of presentation.\"Samsung will hold a news conference on January 4, but it is unclear if the company will dedicate any time to the new smartphones.Cheng says it will be interesting to see how Samsung responds. \"Do they ignore it or do they address it in some way?\"Another big trend at the show is likely to be the smart home.Both large established companies and small startups are expected to show connected products that are supposed to make daily life easier.\"The smart home trend is going to be huge this year,\" says Cheng.\"A lot of people, companies big and small, are going to be talking about how they can make their lives easier with a smarter light bulb, with a smarter washing machine, smarter refrigerator.\"The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) runs 5-8 January 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada.Las Vegas, USA - 2 January 20161.

SOUNDBITE: (English), Nicole Scott, editor of Mobile Geeks technology news website:\"We can expect televisions, self-driving cars, there's going to be a lot of that, there is an entire parking lot dedicated to self driving this year. AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality) are going to be huge, but don't expect to see any new headsets. It's going to be more along the lines of experimental innovation within VR. So maybe self-contained units. Or inside out tracking, so the headset itself is tracking what you are doing. We should also be seeing a few new smartphones, but it is not really going to be the big thing. And again with TVs it's going to be 4K, and HDR (High Dynamic range), Sony is probably going to have a curved one. But it's going to be more of the same old, but new models.\"5.

That's things like self-driving cars, internet of things. Hoping to see more from virtual reality. There are a number of trends. Nothing huge, nothing really game-changing, but a lot of incremental improvements upon technology trends that we have talked about in the past year or so.\"9.
