From an AI puppy to a baby monitor with a built-in night nanny, the next generation of new tech is about to be on display in Las Vegas.

Harbor Baby Monitor

The Harbor Baby Monitor is the first smart baby monitor that works both with and without the internet. The 10-inch monitor works with up to four cameras. It will alert you if it loses its internet connection but will continue to work. Meanwhile, the Harbor app lets you watch and rewatch video from anywhere in the world. The company is also all about privacy and protection. All of the footage is stored and processed on the device, rather than in the cloud. And Harbor offers a remote night nanny service with sleep coaching. For about $25 per night, registered nurses will provide support and monitor your video all night. They will alert you and wake you up in the case of an emergency so that you can worry less and get a better night’s sleep.

Neural Lab Air Touch

Remember the movie "Minority Report"? Neural Lab’s Air Touch technology lets you use hand gestures to manipulate a screen. In a practical setting, maybe you are cooking dinner and your hands are dirty but you need to scroll down to see more of the recipe instructions. Now you can just use hand gestures instead. It works with a regular web camera and is easy to install. As long as what you are trying to control can usually be controlled by a mouse or a keyboard, it will work with Air Touch gestures. 

RCA Camo Outdoor TV

RCA’s new Camo TV has a sleek and modern design but is built for the outdoors. It’s enclosed in a camouflage case that is waterproof and dust-free. The bright, 2000 Nit LED screen is also capable of working in extreme temperatures ranging from -22 degrees to 122 degrees. It has smart Google TV functionality built in and Adobe Atmos for immersive audio. Models will be available in a variety of sizes up to 75 inches.

Tombot Puppy Virtual Companion

Tom Stevens, the inventor of the Tombot Jenny, was faced with a dilemma when his elderly mother was no longer able to care for her dog. He was forced to take it away from her but that also removed the therapeutic benefits she got from the beloved pet. So, he invented Jenny, an interactive puppy for her. It’s designed to bring comfort and support for the more than 300+ million seniors struggling with dementia or mild cognitive impairment, as well as children and adults facing mental health challenges like anxiety, loneliness, autism, PTSD, or stress. Jenny is not just a robot dog. She has realistic movements and sounds and will also cuddle up for a one-on-one connection. She’s scheduled to be released in the middle of the year but already has more than 7,000 preorders on a waitlist.

CES Preview Events

Steve will be at CES all week for continued coverage of the latest high-tech gadgets and unique and interesting products.
