The 2024 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has officially begun, here are the impressive products on the first day of the event.

Transparent TV

The first keyword mentioned is “transparent”, with two transparent TV models coming from Samsung and LG. Samsung’s MicroLED device model is more futuristic than a home TV product that can soon appear in households.

At this event, Samsung demonstrated their transparent displays at the experience booth, allowing customers to customize the display by adjusting the modules to their personal preferences.

Meanwhile, compatriot LG introduced the OLED T TV, which displays images on a transparent panel, creating an effect similar to a fish tank, while still maintaining the contrast that has made LG's OLED panel brand.

The highlight is the Q Revo MaxV and Q Revo Pro robot vacuum cleaner lines, designed by Roborock, with cleaning performance similar to top devices, but at a more affordable price.

The new devices have a FlexiArm design that easily "works" in corner areas in the house, and are integrated with a powerful suction motor of up to 7000Pa.

Along with that is the Multi-function Dock 2.0, which is capable of automatically pouring, filling, washing and drying. A notable point of the Q Revo line is that the device uses hot water to mop and wash the floor.

Smart Mirror

The Bmind smart mirror from Baracoda combines AI technology and natural language processing (NLP) algorithms to analyze the emotions of anyone looking into the mirror through expressions, gestures, and tone of voice.

The “magic mirror” then adjusts to the viewer’s mood, providing light therapy and guided meditations aimed at improving mood and controlling the user’s stress.

In a live demo at CES, the mirror commented that ZDNET's reporter was "having a bad day" and used encouraging words, along with changing the light to a soothing blue with images of nature.

Smart lock with palm recognition

Similar to the palm recognition technology in Amazon One stores, Phillips is now the first company to bring this technology to a consumer smart lock.

The touchless technology scans the individual vein pattern in a person's palm by simply holding their palm a few inches away from the lock's scanner. Users can add up to 50 different Palm ID options.

The smart lock uses Wi-Fi to connect, meaning users don't need to buy a central hub. It's also compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

HP Spectre AI-powered laptop

HP calls its AI assistant Superpower, and it can be customized to learn information about the user to generate text that contains more personal context than text generated by other AI chatbots like ChatGPT.
