CES is an overwhelming tech show, that along with setting technology benchmarks, also throws up some of the most peculiar gadgets the world has ever seen. This year, CES 2016, the list of out of the box gadgets gets whackier, and even though some of these products may never see the light of day in the real world, we love them for their crazy, oddball features.
Hoverbutler
Let’s kick this list off with the Hoverbutler. Made in collaboration by Intel and Segway, this hoverboard transforms into an actual robot. The rideable robot comes with a display that can make expressions and stream videos. That’s not all – the cute little guy can also be fitted with arms to perform tasks, like opening doors. So now, you can literally take your butler for a ride.
Somabar Robotic Bartender
The list of robotic helpers continues with the Somabar Robotic Bartender. If you are lame at mixing cocktails, this is your go-to guy. Somabar works on WiFi and has six easy refill Somapods that house 6 different types of alcohol. Users can connect to the bar with an app that allows the robotic mixologist to create delicious concoctions for the ultimate house party.
ReliefBand Anti-Sickness Bracelet
If Want to stop hurling after a whole night of drinking or if you get motion sickness while travelling or even if you suffer from morning sickness, then the ReliefBand Anti-Sickness bracelet is for you. The bracelet literally electrocutes you out of nausea, or so we’ve heard.
Star Wars Force Band
The force is strong at CES 2016 and Sphero, the firm behind the BB-8 robot toy is now coming out with a wristband that houses the powers of the Force- almost. The band allows users to control their BB-8 droid with the help of motion control sensors. Me-sa wants this toy-sa.
HairMax
If your head has started showing early signs of balding and you feel you are losing your mojo, then soon a $799 device will come to your rescue. Hairmax is a laser treatment headband that one can use for 90 seconds a day in hopes of filling that permanent void. I say go bald with grace!
Sleep Number
The bed tracks your sleep and can recommend anything from temperature to diet for a comfortable snooze. I am wondering if it will eject me after my usual Saturday dinners.
Digisole Smart Shoes
Shoes that can tighten themselves, soles that keep your feet warm and footwear that you can control with an app. Next design tip for Jimmy Choo?
Derma Facial Beautification System
Got Acne? wear mask. That’s essentially what the Derma Facial Beautification system claims to do.
Kolibree Kids smart toothbrush
Taking Bluetooth too literally, the Kolibree Kids smart toothbrush connects to your smartphone or tablet as your kids brush their teeth. The connection brings up games on your smart device, that you and your kids can enjoy while brushing. What’s next? Smart floss?
