I spent Day 3 at CES scrambling around the Hilton and Venetian halls trying to squeeze in the remaining booths. Check out this futuristic restaurant ordering system. Everyone uses an interactive table to view the menu, order food, interact with social media, and arrange a taxi for the end of the night. Here’s a demo below:

I really enjoyed Computer Electronics Show 2012, and would highly recommend the conference. Here are some quick tips for anyone considering CES 2013.

Book Hotels ASAP — With 150k people in attendance, hotel rooms book up fast. Rates also quadruple during the week long event. Even if you’re not 100  per cent on the show, find a hotel with a cancellation policy.
Book a nearby hotel — Vegas maps are deceiving. One block is not just one block. Book a hotel close to the sands and convention center.
Plan your day(s) — With huge shuttle/taxi lines and 10s of thousands of feet to cover, it’s imperative. The website and booth listings are daunting to say the least, but you’ll be glad you did.
Good shoes — Nice kicks are nice, but nice isn’t going to make your feet happy after your first day at CES. Invest in good shoes with insoles. Chance are, your feet will still hurt — but not as bad.

Here are some photos from Day 3
