Samsung unveiled the world’s first
modular 146 inch TV yes it’s a massive
micro LED television that could be made
bigger or smaller depending on your
space by adding or removing panels as
need be
the wall was a jaw-dropper at CES but it
wasn’t just the size and modularity but
it was gorgeous – as it was made up of
self emitting tiny LEDs much smaller
than current LEDs which eliminates the
need for a backlight or color filter no
word yet on when it will debut or for
how much but it might be less for home
use and more for businesses like
storefronts Samsung also unveiled an 8k
TV at the show coming in 2018 number two
Lenovo’s mirage solo VR headset so
virtual reality didn’t take off as fast
as many predicted maybe because it was
you have a ton of cables coming out of
the back or you need to shove your phone
in the front and so no wonder there was
a ton of buzz at CES about the first
self-contained VR headset which doesn’t
need a phone PC or videogame console
it’s called the Lenovo Mirage solo based
on Google’s daydream you can download
games over Wi-Fi to the local 64 gigs of
storage or snap in a microSD card or you
can side load games using USB it ships
with the remote and will be priced under
$400 when it debuts this
number three the asus nova go imagine a
Windows laptop that lasts up to 22 hours
between charges and that’s up to 22
hours of video streaming
that’s probably 2 3 or even 4 times
longer than the battery life you’re
getting now with your current laptop
powered by a Snapdragon 835 processor
the Asus Nova go is the first in a new
category of computers called AC pcs or
always connected personal computers not
only does the Nova go last long but it
can take a SIM card or Isom for
always-on cellular connectivity so you
don’t need to find a Wi-Fi hotspot a su
says the Nova go a 2 in 1 laptop tablet
hybrid will cost about $7.99 when it
debuts in the summer number 4 the JBL
link view there was no shortage of voice
enabled Amazon Alexa and Google
assistant powered devices at CES from
TVs and Cars 2 Wi-Fi routers and even
shower heads and one big category for
Google was smart screens to go up
against the Amazon echo show JBL had a
great sounding one called the JBL link
view it’s an 8 inch touch display with a
loudspeaker lets you ask Google a
question or give a command and along
with getting a human-like voice
responding to you you’ll also see info
on the screen such as a multi-day
weather forecast recipes photos YouTube
videos album art for your streaming
music and more in fact you can make free
google duo video calls on this thing as
it has a 5 megapixel camera no price
announced but should be out by the
summer number 5 Toyota’s a pallet
concept all the big automakers were at
the show and one of the coolest concepts
for the future of mobility was Toyota’s
a pallet which shows different
applications for autonomous cars not
only will your self-driving vehicle of
the future take you from point A to
point B but Toyota envisions these
autonomous cars to be used for
ride-sharing around the city and for
delivering new food and imagine one day
a store that delivers products to you
instead of
the other way around Toyota is teaming
up with uber Pizza Hut and Amazon to
start and the first live demonstrations
of Toyota’s a pallet will be at the
Tokyo Olympics in 2020 number six the
orcam by AI 2.0 for blind and partially
sighted people
the orcam my eye is an artificial vision
device with a lightweight smart camera
that instantly reads text aloud from any
surface plus it also recognizes faces
products and money notes in real time
and it’s packed into a tiny device the
size of your finger it magnetically
attaches to the side of a pair of
eyeglasses simply point to a menu
newspaper medication or a smartphone
screen and a human-like voice will read
you the words instantly as I mentioned
it also recognizes faces of people so
you won’t forget who you met as their
name will be recalled to you the next
time you see them while it costs forty
five hundred dollars or less with a
possible government subsidy it does give
independence to blind or partially
sighted people number seven
sony’s i bow while it’s only available
in japan sony is back with its i bow
robotic dog and it’s lightyears ahead of
the first i bow that made its debut
almost twenty years ago as you can
imagine with advanced engineering for
fluid movement more sensors on its body
and artificial intelligence including
more personality it was a huge hit at
CES this year there’s life in those oled
eyes and two cameras in its nose and
near its tail to help identify family
members and map your home environment it
costs $1,800 so not cheap but it was one
of the more fun things to play with at
the show
number eight for lazy types the forward
XCX one smart suitcase so imagine a
carry-on suitcase that follows you
through an airport that’s what we’re
looking at here from forward X it’s
called the CX 1 and has cameras and
sensors on it to follow you around we
tried to trick it and it was pretty good
for the most part but not perfect and
yes if someone tried to take off with
this self-driving bag there’s a loud
decibel alarm that will sound the
chinese company says it’ll be available
this summer but no price has been
confirmed just yet number 9 the LG inst
of you think fridge LG is no stranger to
smart appliances and the 2018 CES
showcased a few of them including stove
tops dish washers washers and dryers but
it was the new in stuff you refrigerator
that caught my eye
featuring a 29 inch touchscreen that
becomes transparent if users knock on it
twice you could draw notes for the
family on the screen place virtual
stickers pull up recipes and read
expiration dates on products to warn you
of best before dates or you can talk to
it using Amazon Alexa there’s also a
wide-angle camera in the fridge that
will let you remotely view what’s inside
via an app on your smart phone while
you’re out at the supermarket you can
check to see if you’re out of milk or
eggs and number 10 the play impossible
game ball how do you fight the growing
epidemic of obesity with kids and adults
who would rather play with digital
devices than run around while the answer
may lie in the winner of a 2018 CES
competition called last gadget standing
the play impossible game ball is an act
of gaming system for indoors or outdoors
it resembles a regular inflatable rubber
ball but it’s embedded with
patent-pending sensor technology it
connects that play ball to an app via
bluetooth you can connect compete and
challenge your ball skills with multiple
mini games whether you want to play by
yourself or with friends when game ball
runs low on juice refuel in 20 seconds
with the rapid charger for another hour
of fun price is $99 and available now
