A look at weird gadgets at CES in Las Vegas
NEVADA – Electronics manufacturers came up with creative and unusual concepts and designs at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
If there are smartphones, then there are smart bras.
A smart bra developed by Microsoft is designed to help control the wearer's appetite and prevent emotional over-eating. With the removable sensors attached to it, the bra will monitor heart and skin activity. The bra has an "EKG"' that will wirelessly feed the app on your phones.
If wearing bras is not your thing, then there are smart socks. Smart socks have sensors that wirelessly transmit biometric data to your smartphones. It's designed for people who are trying to lose weight and improve their running performance.
Meanwhile, a doll called "Mother" will keep an eye on your kids. It promises to bring some relief to parents.
“Make sense of movements in actions that you make in everyday life,” said Rafi Haladjian of sen.se.
“It's called a Mother because it does exactly what mothers do--which is taking care of everything in your life. They don't do something specific but they take care of your health, fitness, your safety whatever your needs are today they will adapt to your needs,” Haladjian said.
Dancing robots will also entertain kids and adults as the robot's dancing skills and interactive talking features groove along to the beat of any kind of music. Boasting 56 dance moves, their movements are also customizable using an app on your smartphone.
When it comes to OLED TVs, curved televisions are all the rage at this year's electronics show. But Panasonic takes it even further by being able to flex a flat TV into a curved TV and vice versa with a simple press of a button.
That's not all. These TVs can also curve the other direction.
