First Looks at Tech West

The Next Big Thing SuperSession: New Realities
Now in its 13(th) year, CNET's "The Next Big Thing" SuperSession will explore the near and real future of virtual and augmented realities and what they mean for gaming, entertainment and daily life.

The Next Big Thing takes place on Tuesday, Jan. 6, 2015 at 3:30 PM, PT in Room N257, North Hall at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Welcoming The Smart Home
As smart appliances become readily available, many consumers have questions about their impact on daily life. However, CNET's knowledge of this market has demonstrated that the more exposure consumers have to connected gadgets, the more they see their potential. The panel will explore what needs to happen to drive mass adoption; how demographics and cultural traditions play into the future of the smart home; and which major shifts will arrive first.
Lindsey Turrentine, Editor-in-Chief of CNET, and Rich Brown, Executive Editor of Appliance Reviews, will debate these questions with ADT Corporation Chief Innovation Officer Arthur Orduna, The Home Depot Director of Strategic Business Development - Home Automation Amanda Parrilli, IFTTT CEO Linden Tibbets, SmartThings Founder and CEO Alex Hawkinson and Quirky CEO Ben Kaufman.

Getting Into The Connected Car
In-car 4G service will drive more meaningful digital media and services into time spent on the road. Tim Stevens, CNET Editor-at-Large, will host a conversation about how 4G in cars and enhanced smart phone connectivity is changing the auto industry, the content industry and the way our dashboards look, feel and function.
Hear from CNET's panel of automotive industry experts, including Ford Motor Company Executive Director Don Butler, Continental North America President Jeff Klei, GM's Global Connected Customer Experience CTO Tim Nixon and Panasonic President Tom Gebhardt.
