I just returned from Las Vegas, after walking 20,000 steps on the floor of the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

It’s huge. For reference, CES showcases 2.47 million square feet of exhibit space, hosts 180,000 visitors, and welcomes 8,000 members of the media from around the world.

If you didn’t get a chance to go this year, here’s a three-minute video summary on drones and a three-minute summary on other tech.

These were my top highlights—the 0.1% that I think are worth your time.

Check them out:

Video 1: DRONES

Video 2: AR, Cars and Robots
