I picked the best products of CES 2023<\/a>, and now it\u2019s time to figure out the goofy and weird products. <\/p>\n

The line between best\/cool\/innovative and goofy\/weird\/stupid can be a fine one. After all, we truly don\u2019t need that much more gadgetry than a computer, a smartphone, the internet and basic household appliances. But tech companies have convinced us that spending on cool tech is a great use of disposable income. They\u2019re also in the process of telling us the metaverse is the next big thing.<\/p>\n

Beyond setting the big trends, CES also shows us the big flops. There was a \u201cgallery of flops\u201d historical exhibit in the Eureka Park part of the show, but it kind of flopped because they didn\u2019t have access to keys for the lockers where they kept their exhibit items. It was a gallery of nothing when I walked by. <\/p>\n

Many people made fun of the Withings urinalysis scanner for your toilet, but I found that far more practical as a useful preventative measure \u2013a good way to catch signs of diseases<\/a> \u2014 and not just a vanity thing about the \u201cquantified self<\/a>.\u201d That\u2019s why I\u2019m not inclined to make fun of innovations in health.<\/p>\n

But some of these products made me laugh out loud, as useful as they might seem to some enthusiasts. Just remember that everybody has a different line when it comes to division between the cool and the weird. Sometimes a product gets weird when you attach a price to it, like the $250 dog feeder<\/a> I wrote about years ago that sought to replace a $5 dog dish. Or the $5,000 Kohler shower system that I saw this year. As part of a home remodel or a luxury home purchase, the $5,000 shower system isn\u2019t all that crazy. <\/p>\n

Other everyday products made you wonder if they were really necessary just because you connected them to the internet, giving rise to a new internet-of-things gadget. Now we\u2019re seeing AI\/machine learning getting infused into everyday products, and the wave of nothing is starting again.<\/p>\n

Without further ado, here\u2019s the weird products of CES 2023. Like them or not, they\u2019re all fun.<\/p>\n

I looked at other publications and found from Canada made a lot of weird CES lists. It showed off the Ella<\/a> AI-powered baby stroller with a motor. More properly, it uses some algorithms to assist parents with their strollers. It has a self-driving capability, but not while the baby is actually in the stroller. That only kicks in if you have to hold the baby in your arms and push the stroller at the same time. It also uses sound to coo your baby to sleep with white noise and a rocking motion. When you\u2019re going uphill, the motor kicks in to assist you.<\/p>\n

This is an example of taking an everyday thing and making its smarter. It\u2019s putting intelligence at the edge of the network, and it doesn\u2019t really need to send your data back to the cloud. I suppose I shouldn\u2019t call this weird because it could be very useful for its target parents, and it was conceived by new parents. But it\u2019s certainly something I didn\u2019t expect see at the show. Another surprise? The $3,300 price tag.<\/p>\n
