Panasonic's showstopping digital globe
In collaboration with Globoccess, Panasonic introduced a cutting-edge digital globe that utilizes the power of Panasonic's 4K projectors to project dynamic animations onto a spherical display. This is a fairly big deal, as all 2D maps have to make sometimes huge compromises when 'unwrapping' that curved surface. Panasonic was impressive elsewhere, too, with an impressively diverse product range spanning from displays and projectors to 4K PTZ cameras and studio cameras.

Logitech showcases modular design
Logitech, a well-known hardware manufacturer in office spaces and the education sector (not to mention gaming) with its keyboards, webcams, and mice, took a significant leap into sustainability and modular design. It's making increasing use of Next Life plastics across its range, essentially post-consumer recycled plastic that comes from electronics that might have otherwise ended up in landfills. Logitech products were also an integral part of the displays on 23 other manufacturers' booths at the show.
