If he televisions where the cars they are usually the stars of the Las Vegas CES, which have highlighted health or accessibility, in the bend of the corridors, it is also possible to find some pearls. Useful or useless, we have identified five unexpected products.
Acer eKinekt BD 3 office bike
When you doubt between playing sports or working, it is best to do both at the same time. This is the idea proposed by acer, specialist in computer equipment, with this bicycle that allows you to pedal while you work thanks to a mini tablet to put your computer on. Eco-responsible and made of recycled plastic, its chassis is equipped with several USB A and C ports, a drink holder and a bag hook. It is possible to change its position to switch to work or sport mode. eKinekt also works with a mobile app to track your activity (exercise time, calories burned, watts generated) and adjust settings. Data is displayed on the integrated LCD screen.
The idea is to fight sedentary work by offering a bike that will also power everything and allow devices to be charged (75 W of energy recovered in 1 hour of standard pedaling).
The eKinekt BD 3 bike will be available in June at 999 euros.
eQuinox 2 Single Star Telescope
The Toulouse-based startup, specialist in smart telescopes, has unveiled its eQuinox 2 and bills it as the world’s most powerful consumer telescope. It is controlled from a mobile application. This will allow you to better select the planet, star or nebula (5000 memorized entries) to view from your smartphone or tablet. The telescope then points in the correct direction.
The eQuinox 2 telescope is on sale from mid-February 2023 at 2,499 euros.
Scroll TV Wireless TV
A television without cable or power supply that you can take with you everywhere. A dream as much as a potential concern. The Displace TV comes as a 55-inch widescreen 4K OLED display powered solely by rechargeable batteries. The American startup behind the concept ensures that the product provides autonomy of up to 180 hours (at 6 hours/day of use). Two dolls make it possible to move a device advertised between 40 and 50 kg with their batteries!
Displace can be placed anywhere and is sucked into the wall to hold it thanks to an air suction system on the back. Just place the TV and turn it on. In about ten seconds, it will stick to the wall. Displace is controlled by gestures (no remote control). For the connectors, you have to lean on a box located a little further away and connected to Wifi 6e, but which requires you to be connected.
Displace TV will be available in 2023 in the United States for $2,900 (100 units only).
Nova H1 audio earrings
Wearing pearl-shaped earrings is not always compatible with headphones. So why not go two in one? This is the idea of the German startup Nova with its H1 Audio Earrings. He integrated wireless headphones into clip-on or stud earrings.
The sound is emitted from the pearl and is directed towards the ear. Only the wearer of the earrings listens. It is not a bone conduction system, but the effects are more or less the same: you can listen to the music without being isolated from the environment.
The Nova H1 are available in gold or silver, from 595 euros.
Kohler Moxie Showerhead
Adjust the temperature, choose the water flow or even the volume of the music in the shower. Alexa will be able to do this for you if you ask her to. The Kohler Moxie shower head is equipped with a Harmon Kardon speaker and an Amazon voice assistant module.
The conical-shaped waterproof casing (IP67) slides into the heart of a circular knob fixed to the wall by magnetization. A touch control button is still provided on the module whose sound should be heard despite the noise of the shower. Its announced autonomy is 6 to 7 hours and in parallel a charging base is provided.
Note that there is also a digital thermostatic valve that allows, using Alexa, to adjust the water flow and temperature, lights and music if necessary, before also indicating your consumption. It is possible to configure profiles according to users.
Kohler’s Moxie shower head is available for $95.
Skyted Privacy Mask
This rather imposing mask acts as a very useful individual booth for making confidential phone calls. Skyted allows, 10 cm from you, not to be heard by the people around you. An invention that could delight call centers, train passengers or be very useful in open spaces. The company also evokes the video game sector for online games in particular. It connects via Bluetooth to a smartphone.
The Skyted skin will launch on Kickstarter in March 2023 and will be available at 400 euros.
