Going into the Consumer Electronics Showcase, there are a few things you expect to see every year when you enter the main convention center show floor - like dancing robots, for example. (Bonus points if they don't fall down .) At C-Space, which is the convention's digital advertising hub, the innovation might be a little less eye-grabbing (and, hopefully, less laugh-inducing.)
