At the tech trade show, companies debuted appliances like a transparent TV and gadgets like a pocket AI assistant.
Here's a look at some of the coolest, strangest things to come out of CES this year.
CES 2024 wrapped up Friday, and the high-tech gadgets didn't disappoint this year.
The annual tech trade show saw tech giants and small startups show off everything from a retainer-esque device that lets you scroll your phone by moving your tongue to a see-through TV and AI capable of cooking the perfect medium-rare steak.
Here's a close look at some of the most interesting products from CES 2024:
A $200,000 foldable TV
For those interested — and rich enough — in having a TV that looks like an art sculpture, the 4K N1 debuted at CES 2024.
The massive display lifts and unfolds in under 90 seconds, according to the company, making it functional in a variety of living spaces.
The 137-inch model retails for $200,000, CNET reported. The 103-inch and 165-inch options go for $110,000 and $300,000, respectively.
A retainer that lets you scroll devices by moving your tongue
A custom-fit, 3D-printed retainer from Augmental operates as a hands-free trackpad. Augmental says MouthPad, as it's called, can help a user with limited mobility use cursors on digital devices by moving their tongue.
A pocket-sized personal assistant
This $199 AI assistant is already sold out after being shown off at CES.
The portable device is the brainchild of tech startup Rabbit, and it's called the Rabbit r1. It's meant to help people complete tasks that would normally require opening apps on a smartphone or using a traditional computer.
With the r1, Rabbit is offering a new way to order food or look up any random questions that may pop into your head. The company said it sold 10,000 units within 24 hours of launching.
LG's transparent OLED TV
If you don't want a folding TV, maybe you'd be interested in one that becomes "practically invisible" when turned off.
LG showcased its wireless, transparent OLED TV, which can be set to resemble a digital fish tank or fire when turned off. Its transparency and customization means it can help rooms feel bigger or it can also better fit into a variety of home decor aesthetics, LG says.
Perfecta, the $3,500 AI smart grill by Seergrills
The company said its AI-powered Perfecta grill can perfectly cook a 1-inch ribeye in 90 seconds and four chicken breasts in a minute more.
Users can download a mobile app to let the grill know what protein they're cooking, the temperature to which they'd like it prepared, and how they want it seared. Then, wait for AI magic to happen as the Perfecta grills.
The suggested retail price for the smart grill is $3,500.
A high-tech pillow for snorers
Snorers, rejoice: This high-tech pillow just might save your sleep.
The DeRUCCI Anti-Snore Pillow monitors for signs that you're snoring. If it picks up on any, it'll slightly adjust the positioning of your head to try to curb any snoring.
A keyboard iPhone case
Pair your iPhone with a Blackberry-esque keyboard, and you've got Clicks.
The phone case, available in either a bright yellow or dark gray, plugs into your phone and replicates the physical phone keyboards of yesteryear. The only question, of course, is does the iPhone really need to be any bigger than it already is?
If you're cool with that, the case is $139 for the iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro, and $159 for the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Samsung's Pixar-like robot, Ballie
Samsung's AI home assistant robot, Ballie, autonomously rolls around the house to do various tasks. It can take care of everything from answering phone calls to sending you videos of what your pets are up to while you're away.
