6P Color, the color science technology company that innovated the multi-primary color system, recently pivoted its focus to provide color management tools for display manufacturers to reproduce colors the way they are intended at the source. The new C-suite leadership brought in four months ago is transitioning the company to this new direction. During CES, the ETC team met with 6P Color CTO Matthew Brantley; Board Member Steven Poster, ASC; and Lead Product Manager Kennen Dietz. They explained their tech could deliver immediate improvements by addressing the shortcoming in current displays of not fully representing the color space of an image source in the displays’ native gamuts.

Fitting for a trade show long associated with the latest and greatest television sets, this year’s CES featured a panel titled “The Future of Immersive TV.” The panelists, led by moderator Rick Kowalski, senior director of business intelligence for the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), underscored the biggest current challenge for home entertainment is the fragmentation of platforms on which consumers view content. Multimodal content delivery is impacting production workflows and advertising services. From trends in consumer behavior to emerging technologies, the panel speculated about interactive TV, shoppable TV, and the need for consistent experiences. Read more

Nvidia Cosmos, a platform of generative world foundation models (WFMs) and related tools to advance the development of physical AI systems like autonomous vehicles and robots, was introduced at CES 2025. Cosmos WFMs are designed to provide developers a way to generate massive amounts of photo-real, physics-based synthetic data to train and evaluate their existing models. The goal is to reduce costs by streamlining real-world testing with a ready data pipeline. Developers can also build custom models by fine-tuning Cosmos WFMs. Cosmos integrates Nvidia Omniverse, a physics simulation tool used for entertainment world-building. Read more

CES has regularly featured robots over the years, but we’ve never really seen anything pivotal. CES 2025 marked a change in this area. “The ChatGPT moment for robotics is just around the corner,” said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in his keynote, and we couldn’t agree more. And while attention was focused on LLMs, the field of industrial robotics has been unleashed like never before. According to World Robotics 2024, the International Federation of Robotics’ recent report, 4.3 million units were deployed in factories worldwide as of Q3 2024, a number that’s increasing at a clip of half a million units per year. This is double from 7 years ago, and the trend is accelerating. Read more

Having commercialized the idea of a TV that displays art in its downtime, Samsung has faced some criticism for The Frame’s performance when it comes to displaying traditional video content.

Powered by the NQ4 Gen3 AI Processor, “The Frame Pro offers unparalleled picture quality for both artwork and video content,” Samsung claims. It comes with Wireless One Connect, allowing a seamless blend with the environment. Read more
