At CES, also known as the Consumer Electronics Show, IT businesses of all sizes are showcasing their latest goods.
The show is returning to normalcy after going totally virtual in 2021 and experiencing a large reduction in attendance due to the pandemic in 2022.
Exhibitors range from large corporations such as Sony and LG to small start-ups. You might witness the next big thing, or you might see something that will never make it past the prototype stage.
The event began on Tuesday night with media previews from only a few of the 3,000 firms that had registered to participate. Thursday marks the formal start of CES.
CES 2023- Bird Buddy: Pokemon, but make it birds
Bird Buddy demonstrated a clever bird feeder that photographs feathered friends as they fly in to get some snacks. The business claims that its AI system can distinguish over 1,000 bird species, allowing users to communicate what kind of birds they’re feeding via a smartphone app.
“We aim to gamify the collecting so it’s a really exciting game that you can play — almost like a real-life Pokémon Go with real animals and fauna in your backyard,” said Kyle Buzzard, co-founder, and chief hardware officer of the firm.
Consumers who want to show the world what birds are coming into their backyards have already expressed interest in the product.
The company, which began as a Kickstarter project in 2020, claims to have begun selling its bird feeders in September and has already sold all 100,000 in stock. The basic feeder is priced at $199.
AtmosGear’s electric skates
Journalists had a great time zooming around the exhibit hall on AtmosGear’s remote-controlled electric inline skates.
The battery lasts 20 miles (32 kilometers), according to founder Mohamed Soliman, who thinks that people would perceive them as a viable mode of transportation, similar to electric bikes or scooters.
“My goal is for everyone to go skating again because it’s so much fun, every time you see people skating you see them with a big smile,” Soliman said.
The battery and cords that link the skates are kept in a waist pouch. They can also be used as ordinary skates when they need to be charged or when skaters simply want to travel by themselves.
The $500 skates are now available for pre-order. So far, the company has received orders for 150 pairs and hopes to receive 200 orders before beginning production.
Digital temporary tattoos
A mobile device exhibited by the South Korean company Prinker allows you to swiftly and simply create temporary tattoos.
The device uses cosmetic-grade ink and comes with a library of thousands of designs or the opportunity to create your own using the company’s app. After selecting a tattoo, you simply wave the gadget over the area where you want it to be put. The tattoos are waterproof, however, they must be removed with soap.
The flagship model costs $279, while a lesser model costs $229. The cost of 1,000 tattoo ink cartridges is $119.
Loovic’s modern day navigator
Japan-based Loovic has devised a device to help folks who have difficulties navigating while walking.
The device worn around the neck uses noises and vibrations to direct users to their destinations, allowing them to glance around instead of relying on a phone’s map program.
Toru Yamanaka, co-founder, and CEO of Loovic said he was inspired to develop the gadget for his son, who has a cognitive handicap that makes it difficult for him to navigate.
The public has yet to see the prototype device.
A fitness tracker for your dog
If you’ve ever wondered what your dog is up to when you’re not home, French startup Invoxia has a solution for you. The company’s smart dog collar tracks your pet’s activity and sleep patterns and sends the information to your phone.
The most recent iteration, which features a GPS tracker and more improved heart health monitoring, was presented at CES.
The collar costs $149 in the United States, and a monthly $8.25 subscription to the app monitors and shares data with your veterinarian.
Metaverse for your children
Roybi’s inventors are moving into the metaverse. Roybi is an educational AI robot that helps students learn about STEM disciplines and foreign languages.
The RoybiVerse is anticipated to have stations where students in grades K-12 and higher education can learn about a variety of educational topics.
Users exploring the RoybiVerse will be able to visit an area where they can learn about dinosaurs or go to the virtual library where they may choose and read a book.
The RoybiVerse will be available through virtual reality headsets and on a website when it launches in mid-2023. Norobotneeded.
