A tiny taste of strolling the CES show floor.

Before saying goodbye to CES 2026, I roamed around without a destination in mind to soak up the scene with my camera. After a week of operating at breakneck pace for long hours, it felt meditative to just capture a tiny glimpse of tech on display — including some human (and very non-human) moments.

<em>“AI” holograms are big at CES. In this case, literally.</em>
<em>But a faster camera shutter speed reminds us that, at their core, they’re just large spinning fans with LED lights.</em>
<em>Even the suits of CES occasionally need a breather with some pinball.</em>
<em>A one-minute spacewalk experience that also throws you around like a roller coaster. I have no idea why.</em>
<em>I love when people in VR headsets incidentally stare daggers at people.</em>
<em>Getting side-eyed through some Xreal glasses.</em>
<em>There are many keyboards and colorful keycaps on display in some of the smaller vendor areas. I’m like a moth to a flame.</em>
<em>Those are some strategically placed “Don’t Touch” post-its.</em>
<em>An “AI storyteller” toy aimed at children ages three to eight. As a parent to a two-year-old, all that comes to mind is “Nope!”</em>
<em>I know this display is just showing a wide variety of switches, but part of me wants to type on this chaos keyboard.</em>
<em>There’s an obsession with jumbo-sized versions of regular items at booth displays.</em>
<em>And.</em>
<em>They.</em>
<em>Get.</em>
<em>Ridiculous.</em>
