For instance, 3D-tek startup will show its 3D screen created with a revolutionary technology of pixelless optical interpolation, which can be used on conventional projectors to watch any types of videos in quality that exceeds Ultra-high Definition. Wicron company will bring two robots called Webot, a telepresence bot, allowing a person to perform actions at its location via a PC and the Internet.
