Norm Glasses
By Human Capable Inc.

Looks may be deceiving. Take Norm Glasses, for example. They look like normal sunglasses, yet they have actually augmented reality (AR) smart glasses, featuring Android-based OS, voice user interface, dual speakers, camera, and a head-up display that can show digital content in the user's field of view.

Weighing less than 36 grams, Norm Glasses can be worn all day and pair via Bluetooth with Android or iOS smartphones. The glasses can also provide captioning for the hearing impaired and enable blind people to interact with digital content with voice or to get help from a remote assistant.

New sensors are coming to upgrade your health

There was the Withings scan watch, which now includes an electrocardiogram, photoplethysmography for optical heart rate, SpO2 for blood oxygen and deeper sleep analysis that can detect sleep apnea. There was the GoBe3, which can automatically track calorie intake (i.e. the number of calories your body actually absorbs) and can detect your stress level based on skin readings using similar technology to what's used in lie-detector tests. There was also vallencell's blood pressure sensing earbuds, which could be used to help fight hypertension, the world's most widespread undiagnosed condition. There were products to measure blood sugar and smart glasses to help people with dyslexia -- while those products still have work to do, it's great to see companies dedicating energy and resources to tackle these issues and we have to expect that they're laying the groundwork for future products.

The Valerann Smart Roads System
By Valerann

Valerann created an Internet of Things (IoT) sensor that transforms roads into data-generating infrastructure, which makes travelling faster, safer, and supportive of autonomous vehicles.

Valerann's Smart Road System is an AI web-based traffic management platform that produces real-time, high-resolution information about everything that takes place on the road. By integrating wireless sensing technologies into roads, the system continuously provides insights and predictions, transforming roads into future-ready, data-generating infrastructure.

For example, aggregating this information allows Valerann to provide real-time critical information to drivers such as informing autonomous vehicles of merging vehicles, sharing information about risks, and providing navigation apps with lane-by-lane traffic.

The sensors can use controllable LEDs to share simple messages with drivers, anywhere on the road.

Bosch Virtual Visor
By Bosch

Say goodbye to the conventional vehicle sun visor, which never seems to shield out the sun's glare. The sun visor is getting an upgrade with the Bosch Virtual Visor. Featuring a transparent LCD screen paired with a small in-cabin RGB camera, the Virtual Visor tracks the sun shining on a driver's face. Then, using artificial intelligence (AI), blocks the driver's eyes while leaving the rest of the visor transparent. This lets the driver see more effectively than with a traditional visor would.

The 10 Craziest Gadgets and Tech At CES 2020

Ballie By Samsung---home family-friendly robotic assistants

Charmin Toilet Roll Bot----

BMW I3 Urban Suite----The new BMW offers space for one passenger, but also offers that one passenger the best possible amenities.

Tattoo Machine----The small printer(in black) can hold both colour and black ink to print tattoos of your choice right onto your skin. The cartridges are replaceable and supposedly can print up to 1,000 tattoos before needing to be replaced.

Segway S-Pod----the Segway S-Pod is a two-wheeled chair with some futuristic silver design that can take you up to twenty-four miles an hour along the street. The chair comes with exterior lights and automatic braking.

The chair comes with exterior lights and automatic braking.

The SelfieType----SelfieType is offering you the technology to prove it, and move your typing skills beyond the screen of your mobile device. Using the front-facing camera on a smartphone SelfieType should be able to track the movement of your fingers on a table or desk and translate those motions to typed content on your mobile device.

Kohler Moxie Shower Head---Kohler has a new way to enhance your singing experience as well as hide it. Their new showerhead will have built-in audio, no need for extra speakers in the tub.

The Y Brush---the mouthguard shaped brush returned this year finalized and ready for purchase. What does the brush claim? It claims it can brush your teeth, both well and completely, in ten seconds flat.

The Narwal---Most houses need both vacuum and mop work to keep them pristine and finally, there's a robot that does both.

Neon---is Samsung's latest AI project. The idea is to introduce realistic CGI avatars that can act as anything from teachers to assistants. They are supposed to be the world's first "artificial humans". Because that doesn't sound creepy at all. Their programming should allow them to adapt and become individuals in terms of their personalities.

CES 2020 Best of Innovation: Accessibility
Code Jumper
By American Printing House for the Blind

Blind or visually impaired children can learn computer coding and programming skills thanks to the new educational toy, Code Jumper. Designed by Microsoft and developed by the American Printing House for the Blind (APH), Code Jumper makes coding immediately accessible for children (ages 7-11), regardless of their level of vision.

To use, students can identify, by sight or touch, bright-coloured plastic pods with oversized buttons and knobs, which they connect with "jumper cables" (thick cords) to physically create computer code that can tell stories, make music, and even crack jokes.

Not only do children learn basic programming concepts such as sequence, iteration, selection, and variables, they are encouraged to solve the same challenge in multiple ways.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold

Foldable displays are the new hotness and Lenovo’s showing off its take on the trend with the ThinkPad X1 Fold. The Windows 10 device is more laptop than tablet, despite the tablet-like design. That foldable 13.3-inch display supports stylus input and Windows Ink for more intuitive pen-based operation. Want to get some actual typing done? Just pop the magnetic keyboard on the bottom half of the X1 Fold and type away, or just leave it there, close it up like a normal laptop, and get on with your day.

Fisker Ocean

Electric vehicle maker Fisker is using its luxury SUV, the Ocean, to show the competition how to make eco-friendly vehicles. Fisker claims the Ocean is the world’s “most sustainable vehicle,” supposedly due to its all-electric drivetrain, vegan leather interior, and use of recycled materials like nylon and polyester. The Ocean also features a slick solar panel roof for passive battery charging, as well as a cool “California Mode” that rolls down every window for an open-air feeling without compromising safety.

Apple iPad at 10: Can we call the iPad a computer yet?

No," was the emphatic response from my colleague Lori Gruinin, when I asked if, in 2020, an iPad could be considered a computer. Why? Because its walled garden software ecosystem prevents you from running non-approved software. What about a Chromebook then, I asked, is that a computer if it can't install and run software? "If you consider just websurfing a computing task, then yes, it's a computer. But if you don't, [a Chromebook is] just a tablet in a laptop design."
