Luxury awards

Val Thorens can boast not only the title of the highest elevated ski resort in Europe, but also has the right to be called the best ski resort in the world. In the past four years, the Val Thorens resort has won its third title of best ski report and was elected the best resort in France for the fourth consecutive time in 2017 at the World Ski Awards, which were held in the Austrian ski resort of Kitzbuehel. 

Plenty to look forward to

What’s more, the luxurious Val Thorens resort will open the World Cup in Ski Cross and Snowboard Cross before the Olympic Games in PyeongChang. Visitors can meet two of the most important athletes in Val Thorens: Jean Frédéric Chapuis, gold medallist in ski cross at the last Olympics, and Chloe Trespeuch, silver medallist from the Olympics in Sochi.

Capers of the luxurious PowerDolphin water drone. Would you like a helper like this?

The luxurious PowerDolphin water drone can move at a speed of up to 5 m/s, but for now it can’t beat a shark in a “speed race”. However, it does work as a carrier of bait to the designated location. It can find fish up to a depth of 40 m. The drone can move autonomously thanks to GPS and a continuously updated position vis-à-vis the pilot. The range of the robotic dolphin is around one kilometre. An integrated camera makes 4K recordings and enables live image streaming at 1080 px resolution. The PowerDolphin will sell for 799 dollars.

Do we live in a “smart” age? Smart homes are becoming a natural part of our lives

Attention is focussed on the luxurious Alexa system by Amazon, and Google Assistant, both of which allow the voice control of an increasing number of smart household devices. What have both system learned this year? They are capable of controlling kitchen appliances. Should we be concerned?

It has been about 5 years since the sale of 4K resolution televisions was launched. In 2018, televisions will increasingly feature integrated artificial intelligence. LG announced its collaboration with Google Assistant, while Samsung plans to incorporate its own artificial intelligence, Bixby, into its new televisions.

5G as a higher transfer speed? 

What will it bring? These features should allow us to connect an even larger number of devices, in particular in the industrial sector and public administration, in the area of “smart cities”, the automotive industry and healthcare. The 5G standard should first supplement and later replace LTE.

How is the Czech division doing?

Ideas and products from start-ups were also presented in Las Vegas by Czech companies. For instance, Sense Rena has developed a luxurious virtual reality system to improve training for team sports like hockey or basketball.
