Jan
Every January after the pulling straws in December, a couple of us who pull the shortest straws get to hop on a plane bound for the year’s biggest technology conference, the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas aka CES 2017.
We are checking out the launch of boat-loads of new gadgets from almost every manufacturer on the planet. Take a look at what might be available later on this year.
The Kuri robot nanny from Mayfield Robotics. This happy little robot roams your house, acting as a home security device, allowing you to keep an eye on your children or pets remotely. It’s due to go on sale this year for around R10 000 at the present exchange rate.
Sick of shivering under a cold shower, fiddling with the knobs until it starts to heat up? Moen’s new smart shower lets you use an app to set the perfect temperature and shower duration in advance.
Lego Boost turns your regular Lego blocks into a variety of programmable robots using various sensors and motors. The set initially teaches you how to make a walking cat, a guitar and a car, but the kit encourages you to create any moving creation you want.
The Kerastase Hair Coach hairbrush is apparently the world’s first smart brush, that supposedly advises you on correct hair care while you brush. Finally, technology is being put to real use.
The Earin M-2 are wireless in-ear headphones, dubbed “the smallest and lightest available on the market.” They have three hours of music playback and come with a charging case.
Want to print your own Post-Its for more creative passive-aggressive notes to your flatmates or colleagues? Of course you do! The Mangoslab Nemonic printer lets you print out black and white messages or photos onto sticky notes in just five seconds to stick all over your kitchen or office.
We will be updating DAS BLOG with the latest from CES 2017.
