The Best Of CES 2020

The future is here and it’s useful. But also sometimes weird.

Last time we took a warm-up lap around CES. With millions of new products showcased at the show in Las Vegas, I was able to give you a starting point for the best of the best. This week we dive deeper.

SHARP’S INVISIBLE TV

Think of a plain sheet of glass. A totally transparent massive 90 inch one. With the touch of a button it turns into a giant full screen TV. You can control what parts are transparent, translucent or have visual images. I can also see this appearing in premium living rooms across the planet.

MERCEDES BENZ VISION AVTR CONCEPT

Mercedes Benz showcased a car completely inspired by the movie, Avatar. It has no doors! Instead 33 movable, multidirectional “bionic flaps” that are meant to look like scales on a reptile. The car is autonomous and it can crab-walk side to side and it’s made from mostly vegan materials. Even the new battery technology uses graphene-based organic cell chemistry.

LUMINI HOME

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the prettiest of them all? Finally, tech will actually answer that question and in absolute detail. This is a mirror that has AI and a lifestyle assistant built in. Look into the mirror and it will give you a detailed analysis of your skin in 10 seconds plus provide skin data-based personalised solutions. Dermatologists should be getting very nervous.

SAMSUNG SERO

Samsung’s giant wall TV went even bigger but it was the Sero that actually stood out. This TV can sense the orientation of the content being played and swivel to the right one. Yes, vertical and horizontal whenever you like it. And yes, it can even synch with your phone to play content off it.

LG G8X THINQ DUAL SCREEN

LG first made their phone into a snap-on dual screen and then went and made it defence grade tough. You can snap on a second 6.4 inch OLED display that has its own battery and power source. And you can use it in many ways. Both as one screen, separately, or one as controls and the other as your gaming screen. When you’re done, just snap off the second screen and you’re good to go.
