Last week, thousands of new innovations premiered at Las Vegas’ Consumer Electronics Show (CES). From skin scanners to eerily human-like robots to suitcases that follow you around, we saw all kinds of tech that’s sure to shape our very near future. Here, some of the products that stood out.
Neutrogena Skin360 App
At-home skin analysis is now a reality with Neutrogena’s new scanner that uses sophisticated skin imaging technology to measure your pores, fine lines/wrinkles, and moisture levels. Simply attach the SkinScanner to your phone and hold the lens up to your face for a quick evaluation and receive personalized product recommendations that’ll appear on the accompanying app.
Laundroid Robot
The dream! Never folding laundry again. Seven Dreamer’s Laundroid robot is a wardrobe management innovation that allows a user to load dry laundry and it’ll use image analysis, artificial intelligence, and robotics to sort, fold and organize all your clothes (it’ll also remember each item so you’ll know what’s dirty and what’s clean AND it can offer styling advice through a concierge service).
Huawei Mate 10 Pro
New phones made a strong appearance with all sorts of cool features such as a built-in projector and a keyboard that’ll take your temperature. Huawei’s Mate 10 Pro stood out with a Leica dual camera and an artificial intelligence processor that’ll take better photos and extend your battery life.
Ashley Chloe Ensembl™
Smart speakers with virtual assistants from Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant were in abundance on the show floor. Wearable company Ashley Chloe went the extra mile by launching the world’s first smart, modular, wireless-charging home entertainment system that’ll play music, project a movie, take a 360-degree photo, and serve as a smart light.
Peloton Tread
Peloton fanatics are going to have to make room for this new treadmill that’ll guide you through numerous immersive workouts both on and off the machine. On-demand classes will include Run, Total Body, Floor and Walk classes, so you can choose what best suits your fitness needs.
L'Oreal UV Sense
Wearables are always a difficult category to standout in, but L’Oreal’s UV Sense gave us all a reason to pay attention. This battery-free electronic UV sensor can measure exposure levels and store up to three months of data, meaning you’ll know when you’re most exposed to damaging rays. Not to mention it’s designer, Yves Behar, made it small—and beautiful—enough to attach as a charm to your jewelry or on your nail as an accessory.
Touches Response Toilet with Kohler Konnect
Smart bathrooms are now a thing. (A good thing!) Well-known bathroom product designers like Kohler have joined the tech bandwagon with the introduction of voice-command technology that’ll let you operate intelligent toilets, lighting, showers and mirrors without a single button.
Sophia the Robot
Humanlike robots got an upgrade this year―namely Hanson Robotics’ Sophia who learned how to walk with a new set of award-winning legs. With a completed physical form, Sophia is expected to become increasingly valuable to industries including healthcare and customer service
Schwarzkopf Professional SalonLab™
Expect custom mixed hair products in 2018. Schwarzkopf Professional’s SalonLab Analyzer evaluates hair condition and color at the molecular level (not based on its outer appearance) and will produce personalized products on-site for each client based on data
FOREO UFO Smart Mask
Dare we say that sheet masks could soon be a thing of the past? Foreo certainly thinks so. The Swedish brand launched the UFO, which is the world’s first “smart mask treatment” that uses cryo-therapy, thermos-therapy and T-Sonic pulsations to offer spa-level treatments in just 90 seconds
90FUN Smart Suitcase
Last but certainly not least, this suitcase developed by Segway is designed to follow you around. Inspired by the way a puppy follows its owner everywhere, this is currently in concept phase but stirred quite a buzz amongst showgoers.
