So, CES has opened, which is where companies show off new and cool and functional technology that will definitely be used by millions, if not billions of people across the world.
So I figured we needed a thread to have a look at these majestic creations that we all need.
Smart Toothbrushes!
Things like the Plaqless Pro by Colgate, a smart toothbrush which glows blue when it detects plaque, before turning white as it cleans, and can sync with your phone.
Oral-B, not to be outdone, has a smart toothbrush that'll map the inside of your mouth, letting you detect where you haven't cleaned. And it has advanced AI, which is good because I'm sick of my normie toothbrush being stupider then I am.
Thankfully, normal toothbrushes still exist, but you could go for one like the one pictured above, which is the malformed fetus of a mouthguard and a toothbrush. You put the guard around your teeth and it squirts toothpaste on, before vibrating using one of three settings.
SmartFridges!
Samsung's SmartFridge offering is able to connect to your smartphone, analysing what is stored in the fridge and sending updates and offering recipes and meal suggestions. The new 2020 version lets you plan meals for the week in advance, and can generate a shopping list based on what's missing. Or what the inbuilt AI desires.
LG are offering TWO SmartFridges of which photos have only been sent for the thing above, one has a round ice cube maker (ice ball maker?), for those heathens out there that use those horrible non-spherical ice for drinks.
LG also lets you scan what's in the fridge, and offers suggestions, but it also offers neighbouring stores where you can buy said n eeded produce. It also offers a 22 inch glass display which can be used to surf the internet and play videos. It also offers a temperature sensor that can detect if a door's been left open. Sort of like the fridge light in many many many older fridges.
Pet accessories!
Do you need to know if the growling you hear is an enraged pitbull that's going to maul you and devour one of your needed limbs? (It is.)
Good, because we have the Smart Dog Harness, which detects a dog's heart rate and emotions, and displays it by a light, with blue being relaxed, white being concentration, red being excitement and rainbow being general happiness. It also connects to your smartphone, so you can detect if Rover's happy or sad or chasing the mailman.
MarsCat is arobotic BIONIC cat from China which can walk, run, meow, recognise human faces, and has six distinct personality types, presumably ranging from general indifference to general apathy to generally not caring. It features an open API so you can modify the moggy's personality.
And last for this post, the creme de la creme.
THE ROBOTIC CAT WAITER!
This combination of shelving and feline grace is loaded with meals made by disgusting fleshy apecreatures, which it proceeds to wheel to waiting customers, and meows until the customers pick up the food.
Customers then pat the realistic-looking feline, which responds with "The hand is so warm". But if you pat it for too long, it gets mad and tells you off, saying not to interrupt it's job.
So, anything that's exciting and FUTURE that's been announced or teased at CES that you want to spend thousands of dollars on? Do you want to run out and buy a cat waiter or a smart toothbrush?
