January 04 2017 - 4:00PM
CORNING, N.Y., JANUARY 4, 2017 - Corning
Incorporated's (NYSE: GLW) glass-enabled innovations are
accelerating the evolution and intersection of key industries,
including communications, automotive, and consumer electronics.
Today, the company announced that it will feature a variety of
these exciting innovations in its booth (#14146, Central Hall) at
the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas,
Jan. 5-8.
Corning's 2017 booth will further demonstrate that
the Glass Age is here today, building on the success of its CES
2016 experience, which brought to life its vision for the future of
glass technologies as seen in the A Day Made of Glass video series.
This year, Corning will showcase how Corning®
Gorilla® Glass,
celebrating its 10th anniversary,
and its other advanced glass technologies are pushing boundaries
and redefining possibilities for exciting new applications in
automotive, fitness, architectural design, and more.
"We have an opportunity this year to share our
evolving Glass Age vision, inspiring consumers, customers, and
partners to engage with us and help build the ecosystems for
innovative solutions enabled by precision glass that can redefine
everyday activities," said Dr. Jeffrey Evenson, senior vice
president and chief strategy officer. "Simply put, we believe glass
components can be as vital to the next 50 years as silicon
components have been to the last 50 years."
At CES, Corning invites visitors to
experience:
-
A breathtaking, glass-enabled concept car that
showcases how Corning is redefining the automotive experience
through thin, tough, and optically advantaged Corning Gorilla Glass
and other glass technologies - inside and out.
-
An immersive fitness experience that could be
easily adapted for other training applications, featuring a display
mirror with an augmented-reality layer and personalized
feedback.
-
A home collaboration hub that enables seamless
communication and increased productivity among remote
colleagues.
-
An office collaboration hub that facilitates the
exchange of ideas and dissolves distances, taking telepresence to
the next level.
-
And a "Glassie Station" that provides booth
visitors with a unique way to share their Glass Age at CES 2017
experience through 3D next-generation selfies.
Corning is excited to share its vision for the
near future at CES 2017, as the company continues to leverage its
capabilities in glass, optical physics, and fusion manufacturing,
as well as its consumer electronics and automotive industry
experience, to extend advanced glass technologies into significant
new opportunities.
