I just got back from CES 2024, and what a week it was.
My Apple Watch is very happy with my fitness activity.
Here are my five favorite products from CES 2024.
LG OLED T
There were alotof TVs at CES this year.
(IbelieveHisense took the cake with a massive 163-inch display.)
But it was an LG TV that impressed me most.
The OLED T is possibly the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.
That “T” stands for “transparent.”
When shut off, the TV is essentially a clear glass box.
However, turn it on, and the “glass” suddenly starts playing video,while remaining transparent.
you’ve got the option to see right through it, but also watch your shows and movies.
LG wasn’t the only company to show off transparent display technology.
Samsung had it too, as did companies like RCA and “Dongwoo Fine-Chem.”
It’s come a long way since thenit used to look like an oversized tennis ball.
Now it looks like an oversized tennis ball with wheels.
In short, it’s cute AF.
Ballie is meant to be a smart smart hub.
you’re able to check in on it from your phone and see your home through its eyes.
Ballie also has a built-in projector so it can display video on any surface in your home.
Does anyoneneeda transparent TV, either?
Sometimes, things are cool because they’re cool.
ColdSnap
ColdSnap drew abigcrowd during CES Unveiled, and it’s obvious why: free ice cream.
But also, free ice cream that takes just two minutes to make.
It’s actually pretty good ice cream.
I tried the bourbon flavor, and it was great.
(Unless that was the bourbon talking.)
(It helps that the gadget fits over existing dog doors.
Not that I have one.
XGIMI IMAX enhanced projector
As with TVs, I saw alotof projectors this year.
However, it was XGIMI’s “Horizon Max” projector that intrigued me most.
XGIMI has partnered with IMAX to offer the first “IMAX enhanced” long throw projector.
The company dedicated an entire demo booth to showing off the tech, andwow.
Of course, this effect will work best with movies shot in IMAX (Oppenheimer, anyone?
), but I’m certainly keen on turning my home theater into an IMAX experience.
That is, if I had a home theater.
