It\u2019s the first official day of CES and our team has already located dozens of the coolest new gadgets, features, and weird concept cars that probably will never see the light of day.<\/p>\n

Halo (not Amazon\u2019s Halo) has a wearable for babies<\/a> that tracks heart rate, rollover, skin temperature, and movement. 10,000 steps a day may seem tough when you can\u2019t walk, but it\u2019s important to have goals.<\/p>\n

Aeolus Robotics made a humanoid robot, Aeo<\/a>, that\u2019s meant to help out at schools and hospitals by disinfecting, delivering food, and doing basic patrolling. It can also apparently take selfies.<\/p>\n

Since we\u2019re all eventually going to live in the metaverse, let\u2019s scan our rooms so the transition won\u2019t be too shocking. MeetKai turns smartphone video into detailed 3D environments<\/a>.<\/p>\n

MeetKai\u2019s room-rendering tech.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Amazon is stepping up its Sidewalk network<\/a> with a bunch of low-bandwidth IoT things and partners. We\u2019re all clearly still figuring out this whole \u201csmart home\u201d thing.<\/p>\n

Labrador Systems has upgraded its elder-care robot with an Echo Show,<\/a> using it as a sort of frontend for the bot. It\u2019s an \u201cearly proof of concept,\u201d which is good because I\u2019m not sure it\u2019s the way to go.<\/p>\n

Alexa can now tell you<\/a> where the nearest public charging spot for your electric vehicle is. It\u2019s sad this is necessary but if that\u2019s the extent of your hardship, maybe that\u2019s something to be happy about.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Ring<\/p>\n

Knock knock, who\u2019s there? Blond people!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Still on the Amazon tip, Ring is bringing back the Peephole Cam. Why get up from the couch?<\/p>\n

Plex is finally \u2014 two years after announcing it at CES 2020 \u2014 launching its rentals marketplace<\/a>. \u201cIt was a lot harder than we thought,\u201d said co-founder Scott Olechowski. Now fix the PS5 app, Scott! It\u2019s a disaster! (Is there a problem level a level of triviality above first-world? I have lots.)<\/p>\n

Ossia and its Cota wireless power were on stage at Disrupt 2023\u2026 sorry, 2013<\/a>. But they\u2019re still putting it out there and now have a security camera that runs on wireless power<\/a> instead of batteries. That seems like a pretty good idea, though the battery ones go for like a year now.<\/p>\n

Have things you want to lock away? Put them in a shiny high tech box from Trova<\/a> that only opens with permission from your phone. Sure, you could use a regular lock of literally any kind, but that\u2019s not very CES.<\/p>\n

I chatted with the guys from StudioBox at Disrupt, and was planning on writing up the pro-remote-video-studio-in-a-box, but Haje ate my lunch<\/a>. Read up on how they\u2019re adjusting their business to the post-pandemic world:<\/p>\n

Smart speakers are nice until you have 2 or 3 of them, then you have no idea where your music will go when you hit play. Google has a solution, kind of<\/a>. More like a way to manage the problem.<\/p>\n

Google also provided some more information on its Android Auto UI refresh<\/a>, and an HD upgrade for its car maps<\/a> that will have more precise lane markings, objects, and other stuff included. Volvo will get it first, as well as Polestar, apparently a real car company.<\/p>\n

Power1\u2019s AirPods charging case is now smaller, but it still looks like a weird humpback ziggurat<\/a> to me. If you\u2019re running out of battery so much you need this thing\u2026 you\u2019re probably super successful. Congratulations.<\/p>\n

To me, AirPods charging things aren\u2019t practical but dog communication devices<\/a> are. FluentPet Connect has programmable buttons that don\u2019t just speak the word, but send a message to your phone. You\u2019re about to do about 50 walks a day, because good luck saying no to messages like HELP FRIEND PLAY:<\/p>\n

Typhur offers a sous vide cooker with a 12-inch display<\/a>. How big is the display on your<\/em> sous vide cooker? Thought so.<\/p>\n

Qualcomm picked CES to announce that it will be bringing satellite messaging<\/a> to \u201cselect Android devices,\u201d like those with its latest flagship chipset. Not me, then.<\/p>\n

Breakout portable power company EcoFlow now makes a lawnmower, portable air conditioner, and portable fridge<\/a>. This is why we are going to have a lithium shortage, people!<\/p>\n

Car stuff below this line<\/h2>\n

Sony and Honda collaborated on a definitely real car under the baffling \u201cAfeela\u201d brand<\/a>. You\u2019ll be able to order one starting in 2025, supposedly.<\/p>\n

BMW isn\u2019t even pretending its i Vision Dee<\/a> is real. They hired Schwarzenegger to do the intro video, and the exterior can be customized with different colors of E-Ink (all ugly). It also has some kind of crazy HUD<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/p>\n

300 frames in this gif and in not one of them does the car look good.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I tried to dismiss this but BMW\u2019s CEO Oliver Zipse said it \u201ccannot be simply dismissed as science fiction because it will inspire our Neue Klasse.\u201d Touch\u00e9, Oliver.<\/p>\n

Stellantis is expanding its car sharing, rental, and subscription service Free2move<\/a> in the U.S., though of course it isn\u2019t free at all. Free floating, yes. If you\u2019re in Denver, Portland, Columbus, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Detroit, Dallas, Miami, Chicago or Tampa, prepare yourself.<\/p>\n

In completely unrelated news, Stellantis formed a new business unit to convert vehicle data into money<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all as of now, but our tireless reporters will churn out content for you well into the Las Vegas night.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
