At the beginning of each year, global innovators gather at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas to debut breakthrough technologies. This year’s event showcased over 3,200 exhibitors from 173 countries, providing a glimpse into the future of our homes, offices, and daily lives.
With smart home penetration expected to reach nearly 29% by 2027, the focus is shifting from simple gadgets to “Ambient AI”—technology that blends into the background of our lives. Here is a look at some of the standout innovations from the show floor.
Loona – Intelligent Petbot
For those who want a pet without the mess or housing restrictions, Loona is being promoted as “the most intelligent petbot.” This motorized companion can follow you, sneeze, scratch, and even investigate suspicious objects. Unlike a real dog or cat, Loona can also beatbox, pose for pictures, and dance.
Ring Car Cam
Taking the doorbell camera concept to the road, the Ring Car Cam features dual-facing cameras to monitor both the interior of the vehicle and the street. It includes motion detection, real-time alerts, and two-way talk, allowing you to connect with family members while you’re driving.
AtmosGear Electronic Skates
AtmosGear introduced electric inline roller skates that can reach speeds of up to 15.5 MPH. The system is designed as a motorized frame that can be attached to standard roller boots, offering a full charge in just about one hour.
Tilt Five Augmented Reality Glasses
The Tilt Five system brings holographic elements to tabletop gaming. By wearing specialized AR glasses and using a compatible game board, players can see 3D characters and animations interact with the real-world surface of their table.
Jabra Enhance Plus
These 3-in-1 earbuds are designed specifically for those with mild-to-moderate hearing loss. They function as high-quality music earbuds, phone headsets, and discrete hearing enhancement devices, using advanced audio technology to provide superior clarity.
Hasbro Selfie Series Figures
Hasbro is now allowing fans to become their own action figures. Using a smartphone app to scan your face, you can order a custom figure of yourself from popular franchises including Star Wars, Marvel, Ghostbusters, G.I. Joe, and Power Rangers.
Twinkly Squares
Twinkly Squares are modular LED panels that allow you to create automated, colorful light art on your walls. These IoT gadgets can be programmed via an app to sync with music, display digital artwork, or respond to voice commands.
Xebec Tri-Screen 2
For laptop users needing more screen real estate, the Xebec Tri-Screen 2 adds two additional monitors that slide out from behind your main screen. This setup creates a seamless triple-monitor experience that stays aligned with your laptop’s height.
Don’t Introduce Smart Tech Without Security
While new gadgets offer convenience and fun, every internet-connected device is a potential entry point for hackers. Before filling your home with the latest IoT tech, consider a home security audit to ensure your network is protected.
