For CES 2026, the company will run its booth as a private exhibit exclusively for pre-invited customers. While engaging general visitors is still valuable, Mobis decided to make CES a more focused venue for securing meaningful business opportunities by inviting key clients from across North America.

Under the theme “Layer of Progress,” Hyundai Mobis plans to underscore how its technologies connect and evolve together. The company will highlight select innovations across its core areas, including electronics, electrification, and chassis safety, tailored specifically for global customers. Senior executives from multiple major global automakers, including heads of purchasing and technology, have already confirmed their visits, signaling strong interest in the new lineup.

To facilitate deeper discussions, Hyundai Mobis has chosen a dedicated meeting room on the third floor of the West Hall at the Las Vegas Convention Center as its exhibition space. The setup allows visiting executives to stay longer, explore the technologies in detail, and discuss potential collaborations in a focused setting.

The highlights are the updated M.VICS 7.0 cockpit integrated solution and the X-by-Wire electronic control technology. 

M.VICS, Mobis’s integrated cockpit platform, brings together its advanced infotainment technologies, now refreshed with the 7.0 upgrade. Key features include a holographic windshield display that projects driving information directly onto the glass, a vertically expandable 18.1-inch large display, and a redesigned center-console interface that balances aesthetics with intuitive controls.

The X-by-Wire integrated solution is also expected to draw significant attention. X-by-Wire enables electronic steering and braking control without mechanical connections. By integrating both functions into a single controller, it delivers optimized driving dynamics. The system also includes built-in dual safety: even if a steering issue occurs, the braking system can safely manage the vehicle.

In addition, Hyundai Mobis will feature a range of next-generation technologies across electronics, electrification, and chassis systems, including an augmented-reality head-up display (AR-HUD), low-power display solutions, and cost-efficient, high-performance EV drive systems, offering customers a comprehensive look at its mobility innovations.

  • “Holographic Windshield Display” Earns CES 2026 Innovation Award, Showcasing Hyundai Mobis’s Technical Leadership

The Holographic Windshield Display (HWD) featured in M.VICS 7.0 was named a CES 2026 Innovation Award winner last month by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), reinforcing Hyundai Mobis’s global competitiveness in display technology. Each year, ahead of the exhibition, CTA recognizes standout technologies across various sectors, and Mobis received the award in the advanced mobility category for its excellence in engineering.

HWD is a next-generation display technology that Hyundai Mobis is developing in collaboration with German optics specialist Zeiss. It is the world’s first system to utilize holographic film to transform the entire front windshield into an ultra-large display surface. 

With this technology, drivers no longer need to glance down at the instrument cluster or other controls. Key driving information appears directly on the windshield, improving both safety and convenience. The passenger side can display separate content, such as videos or games, without being visible to the driver. This allows passengers to enjoy their own infotainment experience while keeping the driver free from distraction.

Hyundai Mobis is currently co-developing the HWD technology with major global customers to further refine and advance the system. The company aims to begin mass production in 2029 and position HWD as one of its core strategic offerings.

Looking ahead, Hyundai Mobis plans to continue expanding its global order pipeline. Through CES, international exhibitions, and roadshows, the company will ramp up promotional efforts in key markets across North America and Europe. These activities align with its goal of increasing the share of global OEM sales in its core component business to 40% by 2033.

DEEPX Launches DX-H1 V-NPU: The 30W Single-Card Solution That Challenges GPU Dominance

Recently recognized with a CES 2026 Innovation Award, the solution combines video decoding, AI inference, and encoding on a single chip, offering 80% hardware cost savings compared to GPU architectures.

LAS VEGAS and SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ahead of CES 2026, DEEPX, a pioneer in ultra-low-power on-device AI semiconductors, today announced the official launch of the DX-H1 vision neural processing unit (V-NPU), a dedicated video intelligence chipset capable of processing hundreds of AI video channels at just 30W.

DEEPX Launches DX-H1 V-NPU: The 30W Single-Card Solution That Challenges GPU Dominance

Redefining Video AI Infrastructure

The DX-H1 V-NPU is an all-in-one video intelligence solution combining a multi-channel engine capable of decoding, encoding and transcoding with dedicated NPU architecture. Unlike traditional setups that require parallel configurations of GPU servers and hardware codecs, the DX-H1 V-NPU handles the entire pipeline on a single chip — from stream input to preprocessing, AI inference, and re-encoding.

The chip’s launch represents a paradigm shift in data center architecture. By integrating video input, compression, and AI inference — processes typically requiring multiple GPU servers and separate codec hardware — onto a single card, the DX-H1 V-NPU is transforming video AI infrastructure’s fundamental unit from the GPU into the V-NPU.

Unmatched Efficiency and Sustainability

According to DEEPX testing data, integrating these processes achieves approximately 80% savings in hardware costs and 85% savings in power consumption compared to GPU-based solutions for the same channel density, all while maintaining 24/7 real-time inference performance.

This efficiency offers a critical structural alternative for smart cities and industrial surveillance, addressing growing challenges such as data center power constraints, stringent ESG requirements, and GPU supply chain uncertainties.

“Large-scale video AI can no longer be a secondary task borrowing spare resources from general-purpose GPUs; it must evolve into a dedicated industry running on specialized chipsets,” said Lokwon Kim, CEO of DEEPX. “The DX-H1 V-NPU is not merely a low-cost alternative but a fundamental redesign of video intelligence infrastructure, optimizing memory hierarchy and computation scheduling for environments where video streams pour in by the second.”

From Add-on to Foundation

As the DX-H1 series has added AI capabilities to existing legacy systems such as CCTV and NVR, the new V-NPU variant builds on the series’ success and is designed as a foundational platform. It targets new deployments in smart cities, traffic control centers, and large industrial complexes, centering the server architecture around the V-NPU rather than the GPU.

Global Recognition at CES 2026

The DX-H1 V-NPU has been honored with a CES 2026 Innovation Award, reinforcing the value of DEEPX’s vision of “Edge AI as the new sustainable infrastructure” on the global stage. DEEPX will officially unveil the DX-H1 V-NPU at CES 2026 in Las Vegas (January 6-9, Booth #8745, North Hall).

The company will also host the CTA’s newly established ‘CES Foundry’ session to present its roadmap for the Physical AI era. At the event, DEEPX plans to reveal its expanded partner ecosystem strategy, spanning video intelligence, smart cities, mobility, and robotics.

“Our ultimate goal is for DEEPX to become the default option at the Edge, where intelligence is most needed,” added Kim. “The launch of the DX-H1 V-NPU marks the starting point for our full-scale expansion into the global market.”

Launched under a regulated sandbox framework, RMJDT is designed to strengthen the international use of the Malaysian Ringgit in cross-border trade settlements and to act as a catalyst for attracting increased foreign direct investment (FDI) into Malaysia. The initiative aligns with global tokenisation trends and directly supports Malaysia’s Digital Asset National Policy.

In conjunction with the RMJDT rollout, Bullish Aim will also establish a Digital Asset Treasury Company (DATCO) with an initial treasury allocation of RM500 million in Zetrix tokens, with plans to increase to RM1 billion. Modelled after global precedents such as MicroStrategy and Bitmine Immersion, this treasury will play a pivotal role in ensuring stable network gas fees for RMJDT transactions.

DATCO will additionally stake Zetrix tokens to support up to 10% of the validator nodes within the Malaysia Blockchain Infrastructure, reinforcing long-term national Web3 resilience while enhancing the security and efficiency of the blockchain ecosystem.

“As the issuer of RMJDT, we view the establishment of a Zetrix-token treasury as a strategic necessity – both to support operational stability and to deepen alignment with the national blockchain,” said His Royal Highness the Regent of Johor.

These dual initiatives reflect Johor’s commitment to advancing digital innovation at the intersection of blockchain technology, trade infrastructure, and national economic development, while operating within Malaysia’s approved sandbox environment to ensure compliance, transparency, and national oversight.

AI CAD-OCI Integration Underway: ALL CONEC Begins Validation of Digital Prosthetic Data Workflow

SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ALL CONEC has been chosen as a participant in the Dream Venture Star 11 Oracle × Uclick Program and will begin validating a unified data workflow for digital prosthetic production.

The initiative focuses on integrating design, fabrication, and inspection data—generated from ALL CONEC’s AI CAD, ERP, 3D viewer, and IoT 3D printer solutions—into the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) environment.

In the current workflow, various data points created across stages of prosthetic production are often managed separately. ALL CONEC aims to store and manage this data in a consistent structure on OCI, ultimately standardizing the workflow across dental clinics, dental labs, and manufacturers.

If successful, the validation is expected to strengthen data interoperability and improve efficiency across digital prosthetic processes.
