Top New Tech from CES 2022

 ASUS Zenbook 17 (Folding)

The idea of folding technology has rapidly progressed over the past few years into a fully functional device. Samsung's foldable smartphone portfolio is largely responsible for shaping the trajectory of the trend, which is now beginning to permeate the world of tablets and laptops. A first for the public, Asus unveiled the Zenbook 17 Fold OLED at CES 2022.

It looks like a promising attempt at a folding tablet, but it isn't available for purchase just yet (Asus has said it would be available in the middle of 2022). The 17-inch OLED screen is far bigger than conventional tablets, yet it can be folded in half to become the size of a standard tablet or twisted to simulate a laptop. You can even twist the display by 180 degrees to make it look like a much bigger tablet.

Asus demonstrated this device in two different forms at CES 2022: first, with a Bluetooth keyboard positioned in front of it; and second, in a clamshell style with the lower half of the screen working as a keyboard. We won't know until the middle of 2022 if the screen can endure the repeated folding that will be put on it by its users without showing any evidence of wear and tear, despite the fact that it appears to be rather sophisticated.

Sengled makes health-tracking smart lights.

Does the light from your lamp also monitor your pulse, respiration, and movement? Yes? Who cares if that sounds ominous? The revolutionary light bulb unveiled at CES 2022 can do just that.

The Sengled Smart Health Monitoring Light (catchy name, right?) is not only a bulb that can link to a smart assistant; it is also a vitals detecting system for humans. The word "sengled" is an anagram for "sengled smart health monitoring light," which is the inspiration for the product's moniker. In essence, you may monitor all of your health indicators without wearing any specialist health tracking equipment at home.

The lights can be set up to detect your presence and react accordingly. Perhaps you slept fitfully and need the jarring effect of a bright white light to get you out of bed. Contrarily, you may prefer a dimmer setting if it detects that you are lying down. Mood lighting is the scariest kind of lighting.

Noveto N.1 Speaker

The success or failure of innovative products like the Noveto N1 speaker

hinges on whether or not they successfully implement their primary selling point. According to Noveto, you may use this speaker to display music exclusively to yourself, making it so that your coworkers will not have to listen to your endless loop of legendary tunes from the '90s.

Noveto claims this is possible because to the usage of Smart Beaming with Alexa and an in-built facial, gestural, and aural recognition interface powered by artificial intelligence. Doing so is functionally equivalent to listening to a speaker while hiding your ears behind a pair of headphones. The noise will travel straight to your ears.

But, as we've already indicated, we haven't tested this product yet, so whether or not it can actually perform what it claims to do remains to be seen. In contrast, if it delivers the results Noveto believes it will, this technology might revolutionize the workplace.

A New Perspective on Skydiving with Skydio 2+

In spite of DJI's commanding domination of the consumer drone market, numerous rival manufacturers are developing increasingly novel ways to set themselves apart. Skydio is one such company, and its groundbreaking innovations have caused a stir in the market. It announced the newest version of the Skydio 2—the Plus model—at CES 2022.

Considering how positively received the original Skydio was received, the announcement of this update comes as something of a shock, although it does bring about some welcome changes. Skydio has created keyframe technology, which allows for a 20% increase in battery life and a 30% increase in control range.

Keyframe is a mobile application that lets users pre-program a drone's flight route. After that, an autonomous AI will take care of the flying and the recording. This is a neat perk for people who want to film the action without taking themselves out of it. After you've set certain keyframes and locations, the AI will autonomously fly along the route you've specified. It even lets you retrace your steps to try to get a better shot the next time around if the first one didn't turn out the way you wanted it to.

A Withings body scan

This question's solution is, without a doubt, measurable on any scale. Withing's new Body Scan scale, launched at CES 2022, appears to do everything, while more advanced models can add in a few more measurements. The scale has a grip so you can receive a more precise readout of your body fat percentage and fitness level. Use this lever to do a full body scan, including the chest, arms, and legs.

Therefore, it appears that you were able to see details such as your left arm's muscle mass and your torso's fat mass. While this is already quite specific, the Body Scan goes even farther by attaching a handle and scanning your entire body to determine your vascular age and evaluate your nerve activity. How does Withings have access to such detailed personal data? We'll have to wait for the book to be out if we want to know the secrets of the wizardry.

Although it is currently only available as a prototype and cannot be purchased, it shows promise as one of the most thorough health assessment tools we have seen. More so if it has a companion app that can store all of your health data in one place.

Television video recording device using Sony's Bravia TV system

TVs with built-in webcams are not a unique concept. Their use in TVs for detecting ambient light has been common for some time, and in video games, they can be traced all the way back to titles like EyeToy for the PlayStation 2, which is widely regarded as a classic despite its occasional shakiness. But Sony's Bravia Cam seems to be bringing something new to the table, as it allows you to control a wide range of features on your TV.

The Bravia cam allows you to not only control your TV with gestures, but also adjust the sound based on your location in the room, adjust the picture quality, and even turn the TV off when you leave the room. You may mute it if the idea of a microphone in your living room makes you uneasy, and it can give cautions if someone gets too close to the TV.

Sony has promised that, when the product inevitably hits store shelves, it would be priced competitively with other products of a similar nature. Do you think it's going to be worth your time? This leaves us with no choice except to watch events unfold. Changes to voice control and sophisticated video and audio modifications both provide interesting new dimensions to the experience. Your answer will depend on how highly you regard your TV-watching time.

BMW's iX Flow is a color-changing car.

At this year's CES, the BMW iX Flow was a major talking point, and for good reason. Although the iX Flow is currently only a concept vehicle, it does offer something truly novel. Despite its somewhat boring and ordinary exterior, this car can be transformed into any other color at the touch of a button.

BMW's "paint" is actually made of e-ink, which can change colors, allowing the car to go from black to white in an instant. Simply calling it paint undersells the level of creativity at play here. Instead, BMW has used a body wrap that incorporates electrophoretic technology to cover the outside of the vehicle.

Just what does that involve, exactly? Many millions of microscopic capsules cover the vehicle's exterior. These have both positively charged black pigments and negatively charged white pigments. Altering the characteristics of an electrical field brings to the surface the chosen pigments, which in turn alters the vehicle's color. It gives the impression that a huge e-reader screen has been superimposed over the body of a car.

Unless you're James Bond trying to outrun the latest team of nameless goons sent after you, this may not be the most useful automotive feature
