After two days of presentations, hours of judging, and 14 demos, we’re excited to announce the finalists for the inaugural Hardware Battlefield: Atlas Wearables, Blaze, Cube Sensors, and Owlet Baby Care.

The winner will be decided tomorrow afternoon and awarded a $50,000 check and a robot-topped trophy.

Fourteen companies participated in our first Hardware Battlefield representing eleven countries. From medical devices to quantitative self gear to drones to bike lights, these companies launched for the first time on our stage at CES 2014 and were judged by panels of all-star judges.

Tomorrow, at 3:00pm PDT, the four finalists will present their product yet again to four more judges including Yves Behar, Bre Petis, Jen McCabe, and Matt Turck. The winner will take home the first Hardware Battlefield cup.

All of our companies were amazing. All of our entrants are already doing some amazing work in their fields and most are well on their way to successful crowdfunding. We were proud to have them on our stage.

The finalists are:
