In the new age of<\/span>\u00a0the Internet of Things (IoT<\/a>), it\u2019s all about devices and appliances around us communicating to make our lives easier and better. That\u2019s exactly what Samsung<\/a>\u2019s newest technologies showcased recently at Consumer Electronics Show (CES)<\/a> 2018\u00a0in Las Vegas. With the mantra of\u00a0\u201cDo What You Can\u2019t,\u201d Samsung showcased its\u00a0vision of a more connected, seamless lifestyle through\u00a0Samsung City, the company\u2019s interactive home at CES 2018.

Samsung City<\/h3>\n

The first stop at Samsung City was the\u00a0Home District<\/strong>,\u00a0where guests got acquainted with the company’s\u00a0personalized intelligent service for mobile devices and home appliances, Bixby Everywhere.

Bixby Everywhere<\/h4>\n

The Home District was focused to showcase\u00a0Samsung\u2019s commitment in creating a\u00a0Multi-Device Experience<\/strong>, with Bixby<\/a> and the SmartThings<\/a> IoT ecosystem,\u00a0the SmartThings App and SmartThings Cloud. The IoT\u00a0platform allows users to control devices at home, at the office and on-the-go seamlessly and across multiple devices.
\nGuests were introduced to a variety of Bixby-powered multi-device environments demonstrating Samsung\u2019s IoT vision for connected experiences. They\u00a0witnessed how the IoT platform can seamlessly migrate a show playing on the living room TV to the bedroom TV\u00a0with a simple verbal command, using Bixby and the SmartThings app, while adjusting the lights accordingly.

\nBixby in Samsung’s Family Hub<\/a> refrigerator\u00a0is capable of providing recipe recommendations<\/a> based on ingredients available in the fridge. It can also track food items for their expiry dates and suggest the user use them up before they are unusable. Bixby in Samsung washing machines<\/a> makes it easy to start a load of laundry while simply talking to Bixby through the SmartTV. When done, users will receive a screen notification to move the clothes from the washer to the dryer.

Project Ambience<\/h4>\n

Next up in the Home District was the\u00a0\u201cProject Ambience,\u201d a conceptual look at the automated living space of the future. The idea is to decentralize the traditional set-up of\u00a0speaking to one specific listening device, such as your phone or a speaker. Samsung says it could be difficult for the device to pick up the commands from every corner of the room. With\u00a0Project Ambience, Samsung showed how\u00a0shrinking the size of the listening device can eradicate this inconvenience for good. A listening device of the size of a thumbnail will enable it to place literally on any object in the room, transforming it to\u00a0the focal point for interaction.
\nIn this era of a growing interest in IoT and Artificial Intelligence (AI)<\/a>, the Samsung City was one of the major attractions at CES 2018. Samsung’s vision<\/a>, or more of a claim, to make all its devices intelligent by the year 2020<\/a> was clearly evident at Samsung City. One could sense that its only a matter of time before connected living becomes not only the norm but a necessity for many.
