Each finalist was selected by a panel of judges, including journalists, engineers, designers and developers. In early December 2015, our esteemed panels of judges narrowed down the pool of submissions to the Top 25 semi-finalists for each competition.  After passionate debate and discussion, the judges decided on the Top 11 products as well as the Top 11 mobile apps to compete in a live competition and online vote to prove their staying power at CES 2016. Winners of online voting were determined by popular vote, and in person, an applause-o-meter measured audience enthusiasm to determine the winner.
