CES has not yet officially begun for the public but the first major press event took place last night at Mandalay Bay, CES Unveiled. The showroom floor was flooded with hardware this year from drones to 3D printers and of course smart things and wearable tech.

IoT and fitness wearables were the two dominate trends at CES Unveiled this year. And within the wearable category the majority of devices focused on fitness and health. Wearable stickers like TempTraq, a baby monitor; Fitlinxx's AmpStrip, a continuous heart rate monitor and Hocoma's Valedo lower back pain therapy system featured devices that adhered directly on the user's body with medical grade adhesives. A bunch of new wrist-worn devices that track anything from mood (Being by Zensorium), body composition (InBody) and heart rate (Polar's A300) were announced yesterday night. Parrot, known for its A.R. drone, also unveiled its Parrot Zik headset, sports headphones equipped with sensors that measure activity, heart rate and your walking or running cadence.
