CES Gadget Show 2015

At the International CES, the largest trade show in the Americas, tech enthusiasts are meeting in Las Vegas to see their dreams and fantasies about the future move closer to reality.

Since Tuesday, when the four-day show began, they got a first-hand glimpse into the latest trends. As you come into the main room, countless X Banner Stands grab at your attention, many industries at their best here. They include self-driving cars in which passengers face one another, fashionable smartwatches and personal computers vying to stay relevant in a mobile-booming world.

Here’s a selection of photos showing the newest tech devices, which range from drones and lifelike robots to sophisticated yoga mats.

Photographers Jae C. Hong and John Locher documented the event.
