Inventions Go On Display at Geneva Fair
A thousand inventions have gone on display at the world's biggest fair for new gadgets, where even the ribbon-cutting was done by a humanoid robot.
Offerings at the fair that opened Wednesday in Geneva included a ball to protect against household electromagnetic waves and a high-tech screen to play simulated golf.
Fair officials say 789 exhibitors from 46 countries and 60,000 visitors are expected.
The fair's president Jean-Luc Vincent indicated his surprise at the record-level participation given the strength of the Swiss franc and the economic situation throughout the world.
The fair runs until April 22.
