CES recently announced the honorees for its 2016 Best of Innovation award, a yearly competition that seeks out the best designs and engineering advancements in technology products. Each category has a three-member judging team that evaluates the products based on the criteria of engineering, design, function, features, and how the product directly compares to competitors in the market. The nominees are the best products in each field and will be showcased during CES 2016.

"This was another fantastic year for the Innovation Awards, as all of the honorees represent a vast range of technological advancements showcasing the excitement, energy and promise of consumer technology," said Karen Chupka, senior vice president, CES and corporate business strategy. "These innovative products highlight key industry trends that will be seen across the entire CES show floor in January, and will drive the global consumer tech industry for months to come."
