CES 2023 Wrap Up

ces

As we wrapped up CES 2023 a week ago, it’s clear that the tech industry is as innovative and exciting as ever. From gadgets to trends, here’s what caught our attention this year.

The biggest trends from CES 2023

The annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2023 rolled out a bunch of exciting new tech this year, but a few standout trends grabbed everyone’s attention. We saw a giant leap forward in artificial intelligence (AI), a technology that is quickly being implemented in various industries. Some of the more popular AI products at the show included a self-driving car, a cutting-edge home assistant, and even a bot-based virtual personal trainer. CES once again pushed the boundaries of our technological capabilities, featuring AI prominently in many of the new products showcased. It’s a trend to keep an eye on as it seems to continue its rapid ascension over the coming years.

The best new tech products were unveiled at the show.

This year’s tech show was packed with impressive reveals, showcasing the best in health tech. The latest health tech products boasted incredible features such as health monitoring and data storage capabilities, along with advanced ways to connect and access health information. Of particular note was an app that helps people keep track of their daily health habits and patterns, making it easier to stay on top of life-saving health measures. Of course, these were just a few of the amazing new devices revealed at the event.

What we can expect to see more of in the future

With the rise of self-care, we can expect this trend to stick around. As self-care has become more and more accessible, people are actively taking steps to prioritize their mental and physical well-being. We can anticipate that self-care initiatives will continue to gain traction as self-care becomes increasingly normalized and embedded into our day-to-day lifestyles. This could range from self-care routines at the beginning of each day to self-care activities throughout the week, like yoga classes or spa treatments. In addition, new self-care products are sure to hit the market to meet consumer needs and further expand self-care.

How CES has changed over the years

CES has come a long way from its origins. These days, more and more companies are making an appearance in Las Vegas each year to show off the latest and greatest tech gadgets, as well as more apps and web products that have been gaining traction in recent years. There is currently more focus on innovation and startups than ever before, allowing more opportunities for companies of all sizes to showcase their offerings. It’s clear CES continues to evolve each year; what started as a focused electronics event now spans into every kind of technological arena imaginable.

Nagualep NA-2 Kitchen Waste Recycler At CES 2023

ces, ,

Nagualep, creator of the electric kitchen waste recycler NA-2, showcased how it intends to change people’s relationship with organic waste at the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Nagaulep’s latest NA-2 kitchen waste recycler features an intelligent sensing system to efficiently reduce organic waste volume by 85%, and weight by 95%, with the goal of reducing the environmental impact of food waste and landfills.

After experiencing record growth in 2022, Nagualep is now aiming for higher in 2023, with the goal of reducing 1 billion pounds of food waste globally. “With the average American household wasting around 1,000 pounds of food waste every year, Nagualep provides an accessible way for people to start making a difference, and become a part of the solution today, by reducing their home’s waste footprint by up to 90%.” Said Jordan Sherman, marketing director at Nagualep.

A New Model of Waste Processing

The Nagualep NA-2 works by heating food waste up to 126 degrees Celsius for dehydration and sterilization (kills 99.9% of bacteria). At the same time, food waste is ground into a dry material that is 85% less volume, and 95% less weight. NA-2 features an intelligent sensing system that stops operation automatically when processing is complete, with an operating cycle taking as little as 1.5 hours, which using just 01kWh to 0.5kWh per cycle, or about the same as using a coffee maker. It is quiet too, operating under 45 decibels, which is about the same as a typical refrigerator.

“Turn Waste Into Treasure”

Nagualep says the NA-2 can turn kitchen waste into a natural, chemical-free fertilizer that can be used in a home garden. Operation is simple, with only a single button on the top to begin processing. While many users report that they use NA-2 after every meal, some users were surprised at how it made preparing meals much more convenient, as all of the egg shells, vegetable stems, seafood shells, and chicken bones find their way into NA-2, rather than the trash can.

Creating a Better Home Life, While Saving the Environment

“While living in Canada, I discovered there were not many convenient ways to responsibly manage kitchen waste,” said Na Pan, the founder of Nagualep.

“I did not want to install a garbage disposal under my sink since they are loud, require a lot of electricity and water to use, as well as not being the best for the environment. I ended up using a lot of garbage bags, and could not stand the smells or taking out the trash every day. I tried something called an electric compost machine, but it was loud, and took several hours to complete operation, so I decided to found Nagualep and began developing NA-2.”

Changing Garbage Disposal Habits in America

After considerable success in Asian markets, Nagualep is planning to make some big moves in the US in 2023. “We have been thrilled with the adoption of Nagualep in Asia, and could not be more excited to introduce this technology to American homes,” Jordan said. “When we think about making a difference, there is often a imagined element of sacrifice, but with Nagualep, you really do get to have your cake and eat it too. We are seeing people reduce their waste footprint by as much as 90% in Asia with NA-2, and our fans rave about how much more convenient kitchen life has become. At the same time users are reporting lower utility bills, and vibrant, colorful home gardens. A common theme across reviews is that once people get a taste of Nagualep, they wonder how they ever lived without it.”

NA-2 retails for $699 MSRP and can be found on Amazon and at www.nagualep.com.

ces, ,

Dog-E was launched at CES by WowWee – a global innovator of robotic toys and consumer entertainment products. Dog-E is a groundbreaking robot dog that is unique to every owner as a result of over a million possible combinations of colorful lights, sounds, and personality traits.

Dog-E is a smart, app-connected robot dog with life-like movements, audio sensors to hear sounds, touch sensors on its head, nose and sides of its body, and a POV (persistence of vision) tail that displays icons and messages to communicate. As soon as you turn on your Dog-E, your all-white pup comes to life through the minting process, which reveals its unique colors and characteristics. The minting process can begin by petting its head, touching its nose, or playing with it, among a long list of other interactions.

“We are excited to announced the launch of MINTiD Dog-E, as we combine cool, cutting-edge tech with social relevance, revolutionizing the toy category for robots once again,” said Sydney Wiseman, VP of Brand Development & Creative Strategy at WowWee. “With Dog-E, we are reimagining robot dogs, thinking about the joy that a kid – or kidult! will feel when one is ‘MINTiD’ just for them!”

We all love when something is made uniquely for us – something we can truly call our own. The Dog-E companion app allows multiple members of a family to mint and save their own individual profiles in a single Dog-E. Each member of the family can have a Dog-E profile with its own unique look and personality using the app. With so many personalities available, some Dog-Es will love resting time, while others might always be hungry; some will be cute and shy, while others might be feisty and playful!

By using the app, you can train your Dog-E to learn your name, program movements based on how you want to play and interact with it, and teach it your favorite tricks like giving kisses, singing, and responding to claps. Your Dog-E can “talk with its tail” by displaying emote, icons, and messages. Dog-E will let you know when it’s hungry, wants love, and when it wants to play – each in unique ways, depending on the personality you have ‘MINTiD.’

Dog-E is available now for pre-order at https://dog-e.com Pre-order customers will receive a bonus accessory pack of 4 collars in a variety of colors exclusively for your Dog-E.

Available at retailers and online in the US and Canada fall 2023 MSRP $79.99 $99.99CAD.

Panasonic Automotive Launches nanoe X Portable Air Purifier at CES 2023

ces, ,

Panasonic Automotive Systems Company of America, a tier one automotive supplier, announces the launch of its nanoe X portable in-vehicle air cleaner that provides and protects cabin air purity in North America.

This purifier not only reduces odors, but it helps inhibit viruses, bacteria, mold, and allergens, both airborne and on surfaces. The air purifier will be on display at the Panasonic booth #16317 LVCC Main Hall.

Panasonic’s unique, patented nanoe X technology has been used in a wide range of products from hair dryers to air conditioners to indoor air quality solutions; it is now being deployed in a new, portable in-vehicle product that ensures cars can provide a healthier cabin with cleaner air.

With American drivers spending an average of more than 17,600 minutes behind the wheel each year, innovations like the nanoe X in-vehicle air cleaner can enhance the comfort and quality of the environment where people spend so much of their time.

“The product is a simple solution that can enhance the driver and passenger experience by making their surroundings cleaner and cabin air healthier to breathe,” said Andrew Poliak, CEO of Panasonic Automotive Systems. “Over the past few years, vehicles have evolved to become the second home – and with more travelers on the road, we are pleased to offer consumers a way to enhance the air quality and wellbeing of their families, passengers, and themselves in their vehicles.”

The patented nanoe X technology uses hydroxyl radicals proven to inhibit harmful substances and reduce odor intensity. “Nanoe’ are nano-sized electrostatic atomized water particles produced by applying a high voltage to water collected from the air and contains hydroxyl radicals (highly reactive components) that easily act on various substances. Panasonic’s nanoe X takes this process of producing hydroxyl radicals and increases it exponentially compared to conventional products, delivering the next evolution of in-cabin air quality.

The nanoe X air purifying product is certified by California Air Resource Board (CARB) as well as UL-ETL, the Underwriters Laboratories and the Electrical Testing Laboratory, two testing and certification authorities for U.S. safety standards for lighting, electronics, materials, and equipment.

In addition to its advanced scientific approach and safety certification, the nanoe X air purifier offers simple operation and activation, cleaning car cabins in approximately two hours at a whisper-level sound of approximately 36 decibels. The after-market product is USB powered and adaptable to most vehicle brands or models. With no need to adjust the vehicle’s factor-installed air filtration system, the Panasonic nanoe X purifier can be manually placed into the cupholders of most vehicles.

This product launch is part of Panasonic’s broader GREEN IMPACT initiative that is aimed at achieving a better quality of life for society and a sustainable global environment. As part of its commitment to virtually net-zero by 2030 and working toward 300 million tons in avoided emissions by 2050.

Babyark Launches The World’s Safest Car Seat At CES 2023

ces, ,

babyark, a tech company reimagining child safety, announced today the launch the babyark convertible car seat at the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The car seat introduces holistic approach to safety, focusing on both the materials it is made of and the technology that has been added to it. Developed by Shy Mindel, an aeronautical engineer turned parent, the seat is introducing a new standard of safety for children.

“I was surprised to learn that the most important people in our lives, our children, sit in safety seats primarily made out of plastic and Styrofoam,” said Shy Mindel, CEO of babyark. “While safety features for adults in vehicles have evolved dramatically over the past 10 years, child passenger safety technology has remained stagnant. babyark is approaching safety through the hardware, the actual seat, and the software, including the safety sensors that communicate with the app. The result is a car seat that takes a holistic approach to safety.”

Made of anticrash materials, the babyark energy absorption technology is built around a high strength steel SafeCoil shock-absorbing system that gently slows the seat’s forward momentum during a crash. Carbon fiber and D3O, the world’s most technologically-advanced impact absorbing polymer tested in extreme military applications, complement the babyark suite of safety solutions.

In addition to top materials, the babyark smart seat using IoT technology to supply caregivers with real time indications regarding child passenger safety at all times. With 14 sensors embedded in the base of the seat, it alerts the driver via the personal babyark app if the seat is installed correctly, if the child is buckled or if the child is forgotten in the vehicle. The app then provides instructions on how to ensure that everything is correct, giving caregivers the peace of mind that their child is safely in their seat on each and every drive. The app is available on Android and iOS.

“Car seats are a major source of anxiety for parents. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 59% of car seats are installed incorrectly,” said Yifat Ryce, Chief Marketing Officer of babyark and licensed CPST. “Safety starts with installation, and the babyark app uses technology to simplify everything possible for caregivers, enabling them to do it right the first time and every time.”

babyark can be used for infants and children from four to 65 pounds, and allows for extended rear facing up to 55 pounds. The seat is available for pre-order now for a limited-time price of $990 and will officially be released in the Summer of 2023 for $1,190.

babyark is on display at Consumer Electronics Show in Booth #54959 at Tech West in the Venetian Expo.
