Weird Stuff Of CES
CES was not only about high-end TVs, sound systems, VR and software for future cars. Let's see a list of the cool things that appeared during last week's show in Las Vegas. Ever heard about a "connected" bed? Well, it has been designed to make you sleep smarter. Using an app, you inflate or deflate the bed’s air chambers until you find the optimum position your your body. In addition, sensors track your heart rate, sleeping, and waking periods, and then feed them all into an app to help you raise your SleepIQ. Designed by SleepNumber, it will be available this summer for $1000.
What about a 3D-printed coffee? Using chocolate, Steam CC’s Ripple Maker prints a detailed image on the foam atop your cappuccino. You can choose from preset images or upload a personal photo to the Coffee Ripples app. The company plans to sell the $1000 unit to trendy cafes starting later this year.
French E.Sensory showed off an e-reader-connected personal vibrator called "the Little Bird." The device turn on when a reader is turning through the erotic literature.. no comment.
Meet oombrella, a personal portable weather station sharing realtime data with the community. Designed by Parisian startup Wezzoo, this smart umbrella takes information from your phone to tell you when it’s going to rain. Your phone, in turn, can nag you when you’ve left the Oombrella behind.
Doppler Labs’ Bluetooth-connected earbuds let you remix the sound around you and also also apply echo, reverb and other effects.
Using two wireless buds and a smartphone app you can adjust the volume, EQ, and effects of the world around you.
BMW’s new Air Touch technology allows you to interact with your car’s dashboard using gesture controls. The technology allows you to highlight items on a vehicle’s in-dash display just by moving your hand around. When you highlight an item, you can then select it by pressing a button on the steering wheel.
The technology is a higher-tech version of what BMW currently offers in its 7 Series vehicles.
