The Coresight Research team is attending CES (formerly the Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas, US, this week, with the exhibits running during January 5–7, 2022. CES is one of the world’s largest trade shows, attracting 100,000 attendees in pre-pandemic years. This year, the show is still expecting roughly 2,100 exhibitors.

In this report, we present five cool products that we saw at CES Unveiled, a product showcase held on January 4, 2022.

Five Cool Products at CES Unveiled

CES Unveiled featured companies with products in health and wellness, in addition to all kinds of consumer gadgets.

1. BCool by Baracoda Daily Healthtech

This digital thermometer has a couple of interesting features. First, it is eco-friendly and does not require batteries—it is powered by shaking it a few times (reminiscent of shaking a mercury thermometer). Second, the accompanying app stores readings by family member and enables temperature tracking over time; offering the ability to upload the data to a doctor. The company demonstrated a second product, a bath mat that contains a scale (eliminating the need to get out of the bath and hop on a scale), with additional features such as body fat and muscle mass calculation.

2.  Chessup by BryghtLabs

ChessUp is a hardware-software combination that uses technology and AI to play and teach the game of chess. The embedded AI can suggest moves, and their relative merits are displayed when the squares light up to show colors reflecting the attractiveness of each play. The board contains the AI hardware and software, and can be used on a standalone basis. The game can accommodate novice to skilled players, and the company employs a chess grandmaster (pictured, right) to help guide product development.

3.  HaritoraX by Shiftall

The future, as depicted in the novel Ready Player One, is already here. The company’s full-body tracking device includes sensors on the thighs, ankles, and chest, and is compatible with Meta’s Oculus Quest 2 for use in virtual reality universes, games, and simulations.

4.  Lili by Lili for Life

This seemingly unassuming desktop lamp helps people with dyslexia read by modulating light in a way that cannot be seen by the naked eye. The company’s research found that most people have a dominant eye, which helps them read, but this is not the case in people with dyslexia. This product changes the intensity of the light in a way that enables dyslexic people to see letters clear enough to read.

5.  SelfCare1 by Family SelfCare

SelfCare1 consists of a connected device and a daily wellness cartridge that combine up to eight organic botanical oils, in various proportions, to create health and skincare products. These oils were selected by an international scientific committee of doctors, aromatherapists, pharmacists and scientists. The device can run up to 50 programs on beauty, care, vitality and balance.
