AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – CES, formerly known as the Consumer Electronics Show, has concluded its 2023 trade show in Las Vegas.
Tech companies spent several days showcasing their most exciting products and some gadgets that won’t be released for several years.
The larger exhibits from automakers, TV makers, Google and Amazon have garnered a lot of media attention, but if you want to find interesting innovations in technology, it’s best to come to smaller booths.
An example of exciting technology that solves real-world problems is the CES award-winning Badger. This company makes name tags with subtitles.
As the person wearing the badge speaks into their phone, what they say will appear on the badge in the e-ink.
“Now you can see what I’m saying and that helps with communication between the patient, the doctor and the nurse,” explained Badger’s Robert Galligan. “It will also be translated into 40 languages,” he said.
The Anssil mattress uses air and 14 million threads to increase sleeping comfort.

A connected app adjusts what’s best for the sleeper.
“It will analyze and determine whether you are sleeping on your back, on your stomach, on your left or right side, or cross-legged or not,” said Dae Sung Rhee, CEO of ANNSiL. “And depending on that, the hardness is automatically adjusted.”
ANSSiL mattresses are available in different sizes and designs. Rhee said they will be coming to the US market later this year. We played games with a haptic vest in virtual reality to feel body hits and recoil from weapons.
Haptic suits, vests and gloves were plentiful this year. We’ve tried on shoes that practically lace themselves. No bending.
The kizik casual shoes can be tied or laced as tightly as you like, but do not need to be untied to get the shoes on your feet. You just step in and step on your heel. There have been several companies claiming that their flying car is coming soon. LG introduced a wireless television prototype.
At least a dozen robotic lawnmowers were parked on the ground. Ring introduced surveillance cameras for the mailbox and a car. I brushed my teeth with the Y brush. It’s a U-shaped toothbrush with 35,000 bristles. Instead of brushing with a traditional toothbrush for two minutes, place the Y-brush in your mouth and move your jaw in a biting and side-to-side motion.
After 30 seconds (15 for the top row and 15 for the bottom row) your teeth will be brushed or better.
CEO Benjamin Cohen said, “Here you spend at least 5 seconds on each side, so less time, we spend more time brushing.”
As the 115,000 visitors left Las Vegas on Sunday, exhibitors began packing their products for the journey home. They will return to the drawing board to develop products that they will introduce at CES 2024.
