future of consumer and business applications in its booth at the
International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January.
In 2011, Corning imagined a bold future for glass technologies in its

Corning continues to deliver innovative technologies that enable more
connected, interactive, and customizable lifestyles. We're excited to engage
consumers and industry partners in a set of new application opportunities
inspired by our vision for the future – all made possible by Corning," said Dr.

Corning is leveraging its capabilities in glass, optical physics, and
fusion manufacturing, as well as its consumer electronics industry
experience, to extend advanced glass technologies into significant new
market opportunities.

• Get behind the wheel of the ultimate connected car console
• Shop at an interactive, touch-powered retail storefront
• See how connectivity hubs in the kitchen, office and home will
