LAS VEGAS – No doubt about it, the Consumer Electronics Show is massive. This year's big tech show features more than 3,500 exhibitors and is expected to attract more than 160,000 industry professionals. It's all wonderfully exhausting.

Not to worry. Entrepreneur is here, soaking in all the shiny new gadgets and weird tech that we can -- and sharing it with you. For those of you who aren't here in the desert, we offer you a quick insider's look into all the action.

Fashion, meet tech. The dress on the left changes color depending on the temperature. The one on the right lights up when music is played. Practical? Meh. But it's something worth checking out.
