There were a lot of vendors at CES Unveiled this year.  For gaming there are two notable trends:

1. My favorite product would have to be the introduction of pico-projectors.  Both 3M and Microvision introduced products to address this area.  3M’s offering is a projector just slightly thicker and longer than an iPhone.  It uses LCD technology to get the results we want.  On the other hand Microvision is made from a new technology: laser beam based TV.  Instant on and instant off, and infinite focus.

2. Casual gaming has now conquered social netoworking sites, and is now inching into set top boxes.  For example the new Seybas popbox HD media player has Texas Hold em and Tetris, with more games expected in the future, since it is built on an open architecture for various game types.

I also went over to the OnStar / Chevy Volt presentation, and I can’t wait until they start adding 3rd party content so that I can make car rallys avalable through the dashboard.
