CES saw wild innovations from Roborock and Dreame and helpful upgrades from the rest of the pack, all of which are set to make 2025 a banner year for those who’d rather leave the cleaning to the robots.
Meet Julien Navas, dressed as a Conehead wizard to promote VideoLAN’s new automatic subtitle generation and translation for VLC.
I tracked down the colorful character in the French section of Eureka Park in the dying moments of CES 2025.
Here, I saw Ricky Gervais’s Golden Globe speech being translated into Japanese in real-time, locally and offline — a feature the team says is coming to VLC later this year.
ThirdReality’s MK1 Magic Keyboard ($80, launching March) is a Matter smart button. Ingenious!
The function keys are programmable buttons. Just press to activate a scene or control smart devices like lights through Apple Home, SmartThings, or Home Assistant. Mechanical keyboard / smart home nerds rejoice!
So, of course, I had to go try it out. This $150 LED Light Therapy Face Mask is the smart lighting company’s first lighting-focused wellness product, and it sounds like there may be more to come. I think it’s rather fetching ... don’t you?
Ring has a giant video doorbell at its booth outside the LVCC at CES.
Of course the first thing I did was press the giant button. Turns out it’s also a photo booth… so enjoy my confused looks.
The smart security camera company debuted the latest addition to its 16MP lineup at CES. As the name implies, the Duo 3 WiFi works over Wi-Fi and stitches together video from two cameras to create a 180-degree panoramic view with color night vision, motion tracking, and people, vehicle, and animal detection.
The plug-in camera is available to buy starting today for $179.99.
