CES, Much Smaller in Virtual Form, Remains a Prime Showcase for Optical Tech |
 |
It’s hard to say how many miles of aisles I’ve walked over the 10 years that I’ve attended CES, the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Let’s just say I have worn out several pairs of shoes while treading the floors of the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Sands Convention Center and other CES venues.

Indies and Etnia Barcelona Team Up for Super Bowl Vision Day Program
