We hit a downtown electronics retailer with our tech correspondent Peter Griffin to review what's been hot (quite literally in one notable case) in 2016, and to examine some emerging product lines and technologies.

It's been a year where virtual reality has well and truly arrived, and Bluetooth personal audio has taken off.

And watch out for the arrival of more chatbots and the rise of the personal voice-activated "assistant" in 2017.
