CES highlights conference technology – The CES (Consumer Electronics Show) is one of the world's most important technology trade fairs and takes place every year in January in Las Vegas. Manufacturers, service providers and start-ups present their latest developments – from consumer electronics and AI solutions to innovative audio and video technology for professional applications. We looked around for innovations and impulses for the event scene. A special eye-catcher – but only as a prototype – is volumetric free viewpoint video from Canon

CES 2026: How volumetric free viewpoint video is changing events and conferences

CES 2026 clearly shows where modern conference and event technology is heading: towards immersive visual worlds, intelligent camera guidance and seamlessly integrated AV technology for hybrid events. A highlight from the perspective of professional conference and event technology is the volumetric free viewpoint video, as presented by Canon in Las Vegas.

What is volumetric free viewpoint video?

At the Free Viewpoint Video an entire room is captured with a dense camera grid. In the Canon solution, there are over 100 cameras recording a scene simultaneously and 3D data convert. The perspective can later be freely selected from this volumetric data – as if a virtual camera were floating in space.

For viewers this means:

  • You can save the scene afterwards from any angle view.
  • Camera movements, zooms and changes of perspective can be Design creatively afterwards.
  • Online audience or on-demand viewers experience an event significantly more dynamic and immersive.

This is currently mainly known from the sports sector (e.g. interactive replays in the stadium or on TV), but the CES presentation clearly identifies it as a future topic for Live events, keynotes and hybrid large-scale events positioned.

Further information on the Free Viewpoint video from Canon:

https://www.sportsvideo.org/2026/01/06/ces-2026-canon-americas-lab-demos-innovation-under-ideas-in-the-making-theme/

Application scenarios for events, conferences and trade fairs

Volumetric video opens up several exciting scenarios for conferences, meetings and events:

 

1. high-quality hybrid events and keynotes
Keynotes can be produced in such a way that on-site audiences and online participants receive different, perfectly guided image versions.
In the on-demand version, additional tracking shots, close-ups of speakers or detail shots of exhibits can be inserted without having to have more cameras in the room live.

 

2. interactive event replays
On-demand content is becoming increasingly important, especially for product presentations, specialist lectures or panel discussions. Volumetric video makes this possible:
interactive replays with freely selectable seating position, individual focus views (e.g. only the speaker, only the presentation area, only the panel). This increases the attractiveness of event media libraries and significantly extends the lifespan of conference content.

 

3. trade fair and show productions
At trade fairs or brand shows, volumetric video can be used to create impressive highlight clips:

  • virtual 360° tours through live demos,
  • spectacular camera flights that would hardly be possible with classic camera rigging,
  • Material for social media campaigns that clearly stands out from standard event videos.

https://www.sportsvideo.org/2026/01/06/ces-2026-canon-americas-lab-demos-innovation-under-ideas-in-the-making-theme/

Technical principles and requirements

Volumetric free viewpoint video is currently still a high-end topic:

  • Many camerasThe Canon setup captures the room with over 100 cameras.
  • Strong computing power: The individual images are combined into a Consistent 3D volume calculated.
  • Data volumesThe resulting data streams are enormous, which places demands on the storage and network infrastructure.

For the classic conference room installation this has not yet become standard. However, slimmed-down variants are conceivable in the future, such as –:

  • smaller setups with fewer cameras for VIP events or board meetings,
  • special stage zones that are captured volumetrically, while the rest of the room works classically with PTZ cameras.

Technical background and live demo details can be found in the Canon CES report:

https://www.sportsvideo.org/2026/01/06/ces-2026-canon-americas-lab-demos-innovation-under-ideas-in-the-making-theme/

Intelligent conference rooms: Canon AMLOS SDK

In addition to the volumetric video, Canon's AMLOS (Activate My Line of Sight) a remote conferencing solution that is particularly interesting for conference rooms. The AMLOS SDK makes the functions accessible for other applications.

Core idea:

  • An installed camera generates Several image sections at the same time (e.g. speaker, whiteboard, general view).
  • Remote participants can concentrate specifically on the section relevant to them.
  • This will Hybrid meetings clearer without having to install several cameras in the room.

This fits perfectly with modern Conference room concepts, where as much intelligence as possible is packed into a compact solution.

Front-of-room audio: soundbars for conference and event spaces

There are also innovations in the audio sector at CES 2026 that are suitable for smaller event spaces and conference rooms – especially in the area of Soundbars.

VIZIO MicMe – soundbar directly on the Smart TV

The VIZIO MicMe-soundbar can be mounted directly under compatible VIZIO smart TVs using „QuickFit“. The aim is Lean, integrated front-of-room solution, which are particularly suitable for small meeting rooms, creative zones, project-based meeting rooms in which a wall-mounted TV is hanging anyway – and anywhere where it needs to be trendy, modern and unusual.

VISSONIC is a relatively new manufacturer in the field of conference technology that is gaining increasing attention on the market. Although the company is not yet as well known as some established brands, it offers a range of interesting products such as microphone units, conference receivers or the new standard-compliant interpreter console for various areas of application in conference technology.

Sharp/NEC: Sustainable E-Ink displays

Sharp/NEC placed a clear focus on sustainability at ISE 2024 and presented energy-saving COB LEDs (up to 40% less power consumption), a tool for reducing power peaks in LED installations and e-paper displays (13/25 inch) for retail and museums. In addition, new Android-based collaboration displays and revitalized 4K projectors under the Sharp brand were shown, accompanied by a strategy for repairability and energy efficiency.

ViewSonic: Flexibility through foldability

ViewSonic presented a 136-inch all-in-one LED wall, which is characterized by its foldability and mobility – ideal for flexible use in different rooms.

i3-connect: Innovative touch integration

i3 Technologies and CTOUCH are merging to form the new i3connect brand, which will be presented at ISE 2025. I was particularly impressed by the new 136-inch LED wall, which can be played directly from a 55-inch display with content that is automatically corrected and perfected.

Lumens: Precise speaker tracking

Lumens presented an innovative tracking solution for speakers. The room is divided into 10×10 cm areas, which enables very specific tracking zones – ideal for modern meeting rooms.

PureLink: Flexible connection solutions

PureLink presented innovative AVoIP solutions as well as extremely thin and flexible HDMI cables with a bending radius of just 45 mm, ideal for complex installations.

ISE 2025 showed clear trends towards AI integration, sustainable technologies and improved unified communications solutions. We will be reporting on these topics here on our website shortly.

Coming soon: the standardized interpreting console from Vissonic. We were able to test it at ISE2025.

It should be noted that, as a new market player, VISSONIC may not yet have the many years of experience and the name recognition of established manufacturers. However, this is more relevant if you want to expand existing installations or rent equipment. However, we recommend that you consider the products the next time you purchase media technology.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.
