1. Sharing Their VisionWith over 100,000 attendees at CES, the companies exhibiting alongside LG NOVA had an opportunity to share their vision, leveraging the event to expand their networks and raise awareness about their innovations in digital health, clean tech, future tech, and smart lifestyle. Eureka Park is where each of these companies hosted interactive demos that unveiled their technology to attendees served as a forum to receive valuable feedback for the founders.
Our motivation for the CES was to demo our technology to potential customers and receive feedback about the needs of different users and to help others understand the power of AR & AI. When people can touch and try out the technology it deepens their understanding.
