The largest tech show, CES, just ended in Vegas. We were on hand  to report on the 5 CES tech product trends relevant to families.<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
 <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
CES (Consumer Electronics Show), the largest tech tradeshow in the world finished last week.  As always, we were onhand (this was our 10th year!) to scout out the latest trends and gadgets relevant to moms<\/a> and their families.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
With more than 4,400 exhibitors and likely 175,000 attendees, there’s a lot to see and maneuver around in just 4 short days.  <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Though there were many trends surrounding CES this year, here are the top 5 we saw as trending (and relatable to families), due to the number of products observed on the showroom floor or the impact they made.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n

Top 5 CES Tech Product Trends <\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n

1.  AI – Intelligence of Things<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As noted from CES last year,<\/a> Artificial Intelligence (AI), continues to be one of the major CES tech product trends. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
AI is being incorporated in a number of diverse products and it is clear, this trend will continue on for a long time.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Back in 2016, we talked about the trend of the Internet of Things (IoT). <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Four years later, we see Internet connectivity in most everything from washing machines to watches to cars to meat thermometers to Pampers diapers (as announced this year).  But now, IoT is not new anymore.  It’s almost assumed.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is where it is at.  The Consumer Technology Association (CTA), the parent company of CES, cleverly reported that the IoT acronym today is now more like the Intelligence of Things.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
AI is not new.  You are already using it with speech and face recognition.  Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa use speech recognition to answer you. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
You may even use facial recognition to enter your company’s building or unlock your phone or laptop.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Expect to see many advancements in these areas of speech and face recognition. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Moen has added speech recognition to its smart faucets<\/a>.  You can now ask it to dispense just 2 Tbsp. of water or ask Google Assistant to turn on your smart Moen shower<\/a>, while still in bed.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The  Nest Hello doorbell<\/a> to help you recognize who’s at the door (for a monthly cost). It will alert you when your daughter is home for school or the neighbor stopped by.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
There were a number of new security cameras coming out with similar face recognition technologies alerting you when an unknown person has been filmed on your property.  <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Whirlpool is coming out with object detection (through AI) to identify how long an item needs to be cook for in their Smart microwave oven.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
AI will continue to innovate the products we use every day.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n

2.  Beauty Tech<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Last year at CES, we spent some time with Neutrogena seeing their Skin360<\/a> app which provided skincare analysis. <\/p>\n

They also showed how they could create custom face masks, oriented towards the specific needs of each face.<\/p>\n

This year, their NEUTROGENA<\/span><\/strong> Skin360\u2122 app has been updated using AI to help identify opportunities for improvement in your beauty routine, including getting enough sleep and exercise.<\/p>\n

Use the free app to get a score with regards to wrinkles, fine lines, dark circles, smoothness, and dark spots on your face.<\/p>\n

After answering some questions, Neutrogena then makes product suggestions and routines to help you with your beauty goals. <\/p>\n

The Skin360 is similar to the free Make-up Cam app we wrote about in our 5 Top Gadgets for Moms from CES 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This year, L\u2019Oreal came to CES with it’s physical Perso<\/a> smart beauty device.  This unique beauty product has been in development for six years.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
It comes with an app utilizing AI.  Within the app, you scan through photos and select a photo with someone wearing a lipstick shade you’d like to try.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
After selecting it, the color shows up on your lips in the app as you look into your phone’s front-facing camera.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Once you decide this is the color you’d like to wear, you can select it and the Perso beauty device dispenses the exact color to the top of the device.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The Perso incorporates three liquid cartridges with different colors that can make up any color shown in the app.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Mix the colors together and you’ve got the perfect color ready to put on your lips.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Even better, you can put a lid on the new color and take just the top of Perso with you for color to apply throughout your day.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Another Perso beauty device can dispense a customized moisturizer based on your sink qualities and local conditions.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Perso is still in development and won’t be out until a year or more.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The Opt\u00e9 Precision Skincare System<\/a> is another beauty-type product that gathered interest at CES.  Consider it a skin printer. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Roll it over an area of your skin where you have dark spots and it will print a small stream of foundation over the spots.  It is available in three skin tones.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The Opte is a bit pricy, coming in at $599.  It prints at such minimal amounts, cartridges should last a while, depending upon how many spots are covered daily.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Perfect for age spots, old scars, freckles, and perhaps even moles.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Expect AI and personalization to customize beauty as we know it, but it will come at a price.<\/div>\n
\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/div>\n

3.  Travel Tech<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is the first year we’ve reported travel as one off our top CES tech product trends.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Delta Airlines made a big splash at CES this year with a large presence in one of the most expensive conference halls.   <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
And I have to say, their PARALLEL REALITYTM<\/sup> <\/a>experience they debuted was fascinating.  It works like this.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Once you receive your boarding pass, this new opt-in technology allows you to see your travel content on airport Delta multi-view pixel screens personalized to you with the latest up-to-date travel information and in your language.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Amazingly enough, the person standing right next to you, viewing the same screen sees personalized information in his or her own language.  <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Neither you nor the people next to you are wearing any sort of glasses.  It’s truly amazing.  I witnessed it first hand with 3 other “passengers” in the exhibit. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
All of us seeing our own name and language.<\/div>\n
\n

Think of how great this would be when you land in a foreign country.  You could look up at the board and still read information in your native tongue.<\/p>\n

This is not tech of the future, this is the tech of today.  Delta will soon be rolling out his tech in its Detroit hub soon for initial testing. <\/p>\n

Up to 100 people will be able to view the same board simultaneously, seeing only their own travel information.<\/p>\n

Truly amazing.  You have to see it to believe it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

And traveling around town in busy cities is about to get easier. <\/p>\n

Uber is working with partners Hyundai, Aurora Flight Sciences, Joby Aviation, Bell, Pipistrel, Embraer, Jaunt Air Mobility, and Karen Aircraft to make Uber Air Taxis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With the ability to carry up to 5 passengers and reach a cruising speed of 180 mph, air taxis provide safe reliable rides without congestion, traffic lights, oil spills, and street\/freeway accidents. <\/p>\n

Taxis can take passengers up to 60 miles away.<\/p>\n

Uber intends to offer air taxi rides in 2023 but partners will have operational vehicles ready for testing by sometime this year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4.  Health Tech<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"CES<\/p>\n

Health tech innovations never seem to rest, which is good news. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Withings upcoming ScanWatch<\/a> will not only conduct ECG to assess your heart health but will include scans to see if sleep apnea may be an issue for wearers as well.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The Healbe GoBe3<\/a> will automatically track calories for you.  Philips SmartSleep <\/a>can train your brain for deeper, richer sleep. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The upcoming SmartBelt Pro can help conducts assessment on its wearer for fall detection.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The SmartBelt Pro<\/a> analyzes irregularities in the wearer’s walking patterns and point out potential issues. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
It will also include waist measurement, sitting time measurement, monitoring for overeating and step counting.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
I was also encouraged by companies like Abbott who has an easy-to-use patch prescription system, FreeStyle Libre<\/a>, to track diabetes and glucose levels without the pain of fingersticks.  <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
And Hong Kong-based, Glutrac<\/a>, uses non-invasive continuous glucose monitoring to help its tracker wearers monitor their sugar, amongst other vital health measurements.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Muse uses AI to guide users to better meditation sessions and sleep with its new Muse 3<\/a>.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The upcoming Bisu<\/a> device allows you to run urine tests at home to tell you your electrolytes, hydration, uric acid, and ketones. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
People suffering from uric acid kidney stones and gout will finally have a way to keep a better watch of uric acid building in their body to control it before an attack.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Omron (Complete<\/a>) and many others have created devices to assess one’s own health at home to send health data to doctors, preparing the path for more wide-spread evidenced-based telemedicine.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
One of Samsung’s keynote speakers spoke about their app, Heartwise<\/a>, an app for people recovering from heart attacks. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Cardiac rehab can diminish the risk of subsequent attacks by as much as 30% yet many never complete it due to the inconvenience of ongoing appoints to hospitals or medical offices.   <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Heartwise is the largest virtual cardiac rehab program in the world where cardiac patients can do rehab from the convenience of their phone, watched over by a doctor.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
AI will be used to assist with diagnosis as hospitals and doctors collect more relevant data to cure sickness.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Expect more remote monitoring, telemedicine, and remote RX activations in the future as a means to decrease costs, improve health, and increase access to doctors located throughout the world.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n

5.  Robots<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Robots are always one of the top CES tech product trends for most media outlets.<\/p>\n

Robots were everywhere at CES. Interestingly, much of the focus this year was on the emotional or personal assistant side of robots and how they can help their owners.<\/p>\n

Samsung introduced its Ballie<\/a> robot, designed to be a life companion and personal assistant.<\/p>\n

Ballie is a bright yellow ball that rolls around the house, using AI to respond to its owner’s needs. <\/p>\n

It can act as an alarm and  control other smart devices (speakers, TV’s, floor vacuums, etc.)  It can even use its AI capabilities to turn it into a fitness assistant.<\/p>\n

Other companies see the need for companionship as well.  Japan’s Lovot<\/a> with its big eyes and plush body is an endearing robot anyone would love…at any age.<\/p>\n

But big eyes aren’t the only thing needed to feel the love of a robot. <\/p>\n

Just pet the headless Qoobo<\/a> and it will move it’s tail and vibrate.  The faster you pet, the faster it moves its tail.  <\/p>\n

We saw a lot of STEAM robot toys as well, some very innovative ones like the PingPong Robot<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The PingPong robot consists of cubes that can be put together to make your robot move, teaching the basics steps of robotics to kids.<\/p>\n

Each cube contains a battery, motor, and CPU board.  Cubes are connected via Bluetooth to the PingPong app where kids can move their custom robots using Scratch.<\/p>\n

On a larger scale, robots can act as hosts at restaurant reception desks, take orders, even bring food from the table for a waiter to hand out, and even prewash the dishes and load the dishwasher, like this LG CLOis’ Table video<\/a> shows.<\/p>\n

BellaBot, by PuduTech<\/a> also showcased their cat waiter who can deliver restaurant orders to waiting customers, capable of holding up to 22 pounds.<\/p>\n

As AI continues to develop, robots will be more effective, relevant, and even more “in-touch” with their human friends.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As you can see, we saw some fascinating things at CES this year. <\/p>\n

Artificial Intelligence (AI) or machine learning as it’s often called, is poised to escalate and be integrated into all sorts of technologies. <\/p>\n

Our everyday products will be smarter, giving us advice on caring for ourselves and others. <\/p>\n

Of course, user data will constantly be collected to improve these products as well.<\/p>\n

There’s always a price to be paid for products that are increasingly personalized to your needs.<\/p>\n
