The annual CES Asia will be held from June 7–9 in Shanghai. As a major event for consumer electronics, CES Asia is also regarded as a barometer for annual product trends and a “runway” for brands and new products. On May 23, the Consumer Technology Association officially announced the winners of the 2017 Asia Consumer Electronics Show (CES Asia 2017) “Innovation Awards,” with PowerRay, an underwater robot from PowerVision, receiving the honor.
It is reported that PowerRay had already won the Overall Best Award from multiple media outlets including PCMag at CES earlier in the year. With its advanced product concept and powerful functional advantages, it received unanimous praise from overseas media and consumers, and was even hailed by international media as “the ultimate robot for consumers who want to explore the underwater world.”
A “Miniature Underwater World” Appears at CES Asia, with an Underwater Robot Performance Show About to Unfold
PowerRay comes in three versions: the Explorer Edition, the Fishfinder Edition, and the Master Edition, priced at ¥9,988, ¥13,999, and ¥14,988 respectively. If you’re a fan of underwater photography, you can choose the PowerRay Explorer Edition equipped with a 4K ultra-HD wide-angle underwater camera; if you’re into recreational fishing or yachting, the PowerRay Fishfinder Edition, which adds the PowerSeeker fishfinder and a fishing kit, is more suitable for you; and if you have a deep passion for the underwater world and want to explore it up close, the PowerRay Master Edition, which includes a specially customized Zeiss VR headset from PowerVision, can give you a helping hand. The hyper-realistic “immersion” allows you to experience the charm of the underwater world from a first-person perspective.
It can be said that users with different needs can choose different configurations. Whether it’s underwater photography, visual fishing, or experiencing the underwater world firsthand through a VR headset, all the functions of an underwater robot can be well realized in a single PowerRay.
According to reports, attendees will be able to try out the VR headset equipped with the Master Edition PowerRay at CES Asia, experiencing a more realistic “fish-eye view.” It can be considered a public offline experience event, and those interested in this product might want to give it a try.
PowerEgg and PowerEye Flight Demonstrations: A Bird’s-Eye View of CES Asia
Additionally, PowerVision will also conduct live flight demonstrations of its two drone products, the PowerEgg and the PowerEye, on-site. The PowerEgg is PowerVision’s first consumer-grade drone. In addition to top-tier industry specs such as 4K HD shooting, 5km image transmission, and 23 minutes of flight time, its biggest innovation lies in its fully foldable egg-shaped design and one-minute intuitive gesture control, meeting users’ needs for portability and ease of use. It can certainly be considered the most good-looking drone at CES Asia.
The PowerEye Golden Eye is another powerful drone product from PowerVision, targeting professional aerial photography enthusiasts. Continuing PowerVision’s consistent philosophy of “user experience first,” it fully considers the needs of photographers in real shooting scenarios: the FPV dual-video operation mode ensures both aerial photography and safety, the infrared-visible light integrated camera suitable for both personal and industrial use, the interchangeable lens feature that accommodates more usage scenarios, and an ultra-long battery life of 29.5 minutes. The Golden Eye can be called one of the most powerful drones on the market.
Live flights at CES Asia will not only allow attendees to get a closer look at these two drone products but also more intuitively demonstrate their indoor flight performance. Those interested might want to experience it on-site.
It is reported that PowerVision, in collaboration with the Douyu live streaming platform, will provide a panoramic live broadcast of this CES Asia event. At that time, everyone can watch the exciting flight demonstrations and underwater performance segments through the Douyu live account (PowerVision Robotics), virtually encountering these cutting-edge tech products.
