The practical applications of 3D printing are still being worked out, but last week at CES in Las Vegas 3D Systems showed off how the technology can be used to create fashion pieces that are just as viable as anything you might buy off the rack

Included in the company's display were 3D-printed dresses, shoes and even handbags, illustrating how 3D printing may be the new frontier for innovating the manufacturing of what we wear

Unlike early examples of 3D-printed fashion in years past, which were often unwieldy and pretty much unwearable for all but the most adventurous, ...

The future is ultra-high resolution, connected and driverless — that's the clear message we took away from the 2015 International CES, which wrapped on Friday after a week of gadget-filled insanity.

CES is the first tech event of the year — and it's the biggest. Manufacturers, developers, enthusiasts and everyone in between attend the show to explore the tech landscape, and contribute to the conversation. Not every tech trend seen at CES catches on, but they're all talked about, usually for months to come.

LAS VEGAS — In just a few years, you'll awake in the morning to the sound of your alarm, and the hidden sensors in the room will know you're getting up. The lights will automatically, but gradually turn on and the thermostat will warm the rooms you're about to use — the bathroom, the kitchen and, a few minutes later, your car

The coffee will start to brew. You'll get push notifications about the weather. Your kitchen will remind you which ingredients you'll need to pick up on your way home from work and the items you'll want to include in dinner that night before they spoil. When you leave the house, you'll press a button via an app that will self-drive your car out of the garage ...

LAS VEGAS — Along with all the incremental improvements of existing tech-related staples (audio equipment, cars, etc.) as well as cutting-edge tech (wearables and drones) showcased at CES, we witnessed a major shift: Virtual reality matured into a serious category

It's not that the show floor was laden with VR technology, but the ones that did show up were no longer promising a far off future of virtual worlds — instead, they displayed technology that is just about ready to hit the market. There was even a special ...
