This year’s Consumer Electronics Show is in full swing in Las Vegas, and while we have reporters providing daily recaps and other stories from the event, we decided to take a look at some of the best (and strangest) tech gadgets being shown. 

Madrat Games SuperSuit

Alist Supersuit

Laser tag comes roaring back with this interactive suit, although its ability to control other devices like Sphero and remote control cars could provide a new level of interactivity in kids.

The Smart Fridge

Alist Fridge

Why have a plain, boring, fridge when you can have one that plays music and run apps from a built-in touchscreen This will help expand the market of the Internet of Things, even though not everyone will feel the need to get a “smart fridge.”

Goodbye, Rear-View and Side Mirrors

Alist BMW

As if self-driving cars weren’t changing the dynamic of vehicle technology, BMW’s i8 does away with mirrors entirely in favor of static camera systems. These could be marketable when it comes to promoting vehicle safety, providing a larger range than most vehicles are capable of.

A More Rugged Smartwatch

The smart watch market could really take off with Casio’s Smart Outdoor Watch, which is perfect for rugged outdoor types, with its built-in microphone, water-resistant build and built-in features, including a compass. It’s sure to last longer than the Apple Watch on a camping trip.

TV’s Are Becoming More Dynamic

Alist TV

While 4K is still a technology being looked at for televisions, some manufacturers, like Samsung and LG, are looking into HDR (high dynamic range) to give the best picture possible to consumers. A final cost has yet to be determined, so marketing to this audience could be an interesting challenge.

Roomba Here’s the Powerbot Turbo

Alist Vacuum

Vacuuming is stepping up to a new level with Samsung’s Powerbot Turbo VR9350, which is capable of cleaning up messes via commands through a smartphone. It’s expensive at $1,200, but should be a neat gadget for those tired of pushing around a Hoover.

PicoBrew To the Future

Alist Pico

Considering how big the home beer brewing market is right now, the PicoBrew couldn’t come at a better time. It offers a simplified system, can download recipes via WiFi, and has an affordable price of $599. We’ll drink to that.

Pinball Returns

Alist Pinball

Good ol’ gaming is on the CES show floor, with Stern Pinball showing off a trio of hit tables, featuring the band Kiss, the HBO show Game of Thrones, and a table inspired by the classic Spider-Man comics. They certainly provide a quick relief from all the high-tech action on the floor.

High Tech Chairs That Don’t Go Out of Style

Alist Inada

Last but certainly not least, Inada has returned to CES with its massage chair line-up, for the 13th year in a row. Not only do they represent a new field of comfortable technology, but they provide a relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of the show floor.
