Artificial Intelligence

AI is now in almost everything, even making your digital twin

We don’t have much to cover here specifically for AI when it comes to CES. There were plenty of products and innovations announced don’t get me wrong. Almost every product has some AI integration that enhances the product experience from robotics to beauty products and virtual companions. But we can’t cover every single one here.

The one callout we wanted to add here is something that over the next few years we believe everyone will have - an AI digital twin. The example from CES is called MyPersona. This is an artificial version of yourself that will be able to represent you 24/7, speak in any language, clone your voice and is powered by a swath of your knowledge and personal data (privacy obviously needed). All of this with human-in-the-loop through instant notifications and video escalation if the real you is required.

Peter Diamandis wrote about this in his book Abundance over a decade ago and we are seeing converging technologies advance far enough where it is becoming a reality.

AI that actually handles customer service. Not just chat.

Most AI tools chat. Gladly actually resolves. Returns processed. Tickets routed. Orders tracked. FAQs answered. All while freeing up your team to focus on what matters most — building relationships. See the difference.

Spatial Computing

Even Realities G2 AI glasses with built in monochrome display

At CES 2026, the Even G2 and R1 Smart Ring were honored with a CES Innovation Award for their human-centric design. The glasses were a standout on the show floor, with tech journalists using them to navigate the event's "chaos" by tracking schedules and summarizing networking conversations in real-time.

Glasses for the blind

The .lumen glasses are a wearable assistive device for the blind. Using sensors and AI, the glasses detect safe walking paths and guide the user in real time through intuitive haptic feedback. The system replicates the core functions of a guide dog, enabling scalable and independent mobility. Built on Pedestrian Autonomous Driving, a technology similar to autonomous driving but for the pedestrian side. [CES]

Vuzix augmented reality glasses

These AR glasses have a binocular display that utilizes 3D waveguides that render in full color. What that means is a stable image across both eyes and the ability to see digital objects and information floating in front of you. The form factor looks bulky yet sleek and well designed. If the pace of development continues we will surely see the technology shrinking down into a socially acceptable size in the next few years.

Zhuhai Mojie AR glasses claim to be the lightest on the planet

These glasses weigh 25 grams which is more like the size of reading glasses. Like I was saying we’re getting close to really good form factors.

XREAL Project Aura

The first XR headset made for Android XR by XREAL is lightweight as well but it is tethered to a puck.

Consumer Products

Sex toys will always find their customers

From AI humanoid robots like Emily to aptly named Handy products, sex is an industry that will always have a place for technology and we’ve got to admit it’s pretty interesting to see what devices brands are bringing to market. We’ll be living in the movie Her (if we aren’t already) in no time. [CNET]

Samsung put a new phone, speaker and TVs on display

Their trifold phone is basically a tablet in your pocket. A directional immersive speaker makes you feel like you’re in whatever you’re watching. If you’re using that in combination with their 140 in micro LED tv or their transparent tv from the year 2050 you’re in for a treat. [CES]

Hisense XR10 projector

This advanced design achieves an ultra-high brightness of 6,000 lumens while eliminating harmful blue light exposure, enabling a vibrant image that’s easier on the eyes—even at screen sizes from 65” to 300”. [CES]

Gaming

Razer always brings fun concepts to the show

Project Mokoto is an AI headset that functions the same way popular smartphone glasses do. Cameras and audio components allow the wearer to interact with an AI based on what they are looking and listening to.

Project Madison is Razer’s take on an immersive gaming chair that pushes technology to its limits. This includes lights, audio and haptics making you feel like you’re in the game you’re playing.

The one I’m most excited for and we preordered is their AI companion called Project Ava. A small cyclinder sits on your desk and a holographic avatar powered by Grok can interact with you and help you accomplish tasks throughout your day or keep you company.

Corsair Galleon 100 SD with built-in customizable keys

A new keyboard is certainly going to be coming our way. This time it has a stream deck built in to give you customizable keys in place of a number keypad. For gamers, streamers or pc power users this is a big upgrade that we’re going to be trying out.

Another product we plan on trying out this year. [PetaPixel]

Health and Beauty

Color changing nails we didn’t see coming

If you’ve ever seen Fifth Element with the legend Bruce Willis you’ll recognize this technology. It even uses the same red hardware that changes the color of one nail at a time. Quite a cool piece of tech that makes us feel like we are living in the future.

Wishing Body Scan 2

With longevity and wellness going mainstream this new scale is exactly what we need to stay on top of our health. We want to shift into preventative care rather than fixing what is already broken. This device lets you do that from the comfort of your home. [CES]
