CES 2026 and strange technologies

NGUYỄN ĐĂNG (THEO TECHCRUNCH) |

This year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2026) taking place from January 6 to 9 in the US, strange ideas have emerged.

Virtual assistants monitor you at your desk

Razer introduced the idea of a 5.5-inch dynamic three-dimensional image support desk that could support gaming strategy, productivity, daily work organization and even personal counseling. It was both a companion in the game and a daily virtual assistant. Users could choose from many different characters, such as the anime girl Kira or the muscular guy Zane.

This AI assistant has realistic movement, tracking eyes, facial expressions and lip joints to create realistic interactions. However, what is really outstanding is continuous monitoring - the device tracks you and your screen with an integrated camera. This is somewhat worrying, but currently it is still just an idea, so nothing is guaranteed to become a real product.

AI robot panda supports the elderly

An'An, the latest AI pet from Mind with Heart Robotics, combines a lovely design with a meaningful mission: supporting the care of the elderly.

The robot panda An'An is equipped with high-tech sensors throughout the body, so it responds naturally when you touch it. Its artificial intelligence senses remembers its voice, how you interact and what you like, so the more time you spend with An'An, the more personalized it becomes.

It provides 24/7 mental support to fight loneliness. In addition, for the elderly who may have memory difficulties, An'An helps them maintain interaction, reminds them of daily tasks and helps caregivers grasp their health status.

Ice maker uses AI to reduce noise

The smart home appliance brand GoveeLife has just launched a smart desk ice machine using artificial intelligence (AI) for smooth operation. The company's patented AI NoiseGuard technology is designed to minimize uncomfortable noise commonly encountered in ice cubes. AI detects when the machine is about to freeze and emits noise, thereby automatically freezing before the noise becomes loud.

Chef knife ultrasonic vibration when slicing, cutting

Unlike traditional knives, this Seattle Ultrasonics knife has a blade that vibrates more than 30,000 times per second, allowing it to cut food easily.

This vibration technology means the knife is much sharper than its physical edge, making tasks such as slicing vegetables, meat or bread much easier for cooks.

According to the company, the vibration is so light that you cannot see the blade moving, hear noise or feel anything on the knife handle.

Candy emits music

Lollipop Star introduced its delicious product at CES, allowing playback through bone conduction while you are holding it in your mouth.

This technology works by transmitting vibrations through the skull directly to your inner ear. These candies also bring fresh fruit flavors from peaches, blueberries to lemons.
