CES is always an opportunity to discover innovative concepts. While most will never be marketed, some of their components could well becomeimplantimplant within a few years in everyday objects. Futura has noted the most spectacular ones present at this great High-Tech mass which is being held in Las VegasVegas.
Mirror, tell me if I’m in good shape
“French Tech” is present at the major electronics show in Las Vegas and some of our gems shine there. This is particularly the case for the Withings brand, known for its connected watches and scales dedicated to health. On the brand’s stand, the Omnia attracts attention. This is a big concept mirrormirror linked to a smart scale. The AI is at work to analyze the silhouette reflected in the mirror and the sensorssensors the scale records a lot of body data, such as heart rate, blood pressure, muscle/fat ratio, massemasse water, pH… To complete the data, a watch, a blood pressure monitor or a trackertracker of sleepsleep of the brand can be added. All analyzed data is projected onto the smart mirror. For now, this is just a concept.
Glasses that make you look up
Halliday’s smart glasses are one of the products that stood out from the first day of the High-Tech show. This pair of glasses, with a rather sober and successful design, is sure to impress. THE glassesglasses have an “invisible” screen that is integrated into the top of the frame. Despite its dimensions, this tiny 3.6 millimeter optical module displays sufficiently readable information. The display, in front of theeyeeye right would be similar to that of a 3.5 inch screen. The information is displayed in green and you have to look up to read it. This module allows you to display real-time translations by AI in more than 40 languages, text from a teleprompter for example, notes and notifications from the mobilemobile. It can also be used for navigation. The advantage of this process is that the glasses are very light. They only weigh 35 grams. The built-in battery lasts 12 hours. There is also a microphone and speakers.

Samsung’s transparent, truly transparent screen
Transparent screens are now far from being a novelty, but they still have the drawback of being dull with colorscolors which lack liveliness. But that will change! During this CES 2025, it was again Samsung which showed its progress in this field, with a Micro-LEDLED totally transparenttransparent. It is a concept, but when compared with another LCD screenLCD screen transparent, the difference is obvious. The technology delivers vivid, bright colors with beautiful contrast. On the brand’s stand, for comparison, we can also see a transparent screen with OledOled whose quality is also remarkable, but still less than that of the Micro-LED concept. Transparent screens could well begin their arrival on the market, in any case, that is what LG is announcing with a transparent Oled model. For their debut, the sale prices should be prohibitive for the majority.
The robot Shimon can sing, play and compose
This robot presented during this edition of CES knows how to give the “La”. Shimon is a robot marimba singer-songwriter. But that’s not all, because the robot also knows how to sing. Shimon was designed by the Georgia Tech Center more than seven years ago. Over the years, he has evolved to the point of knowing how to improvise with other musicians, drawing inspiration from their playing. To achieve this, the robot has swallowed more than 5,000 songs and millions of riffs. He learned his music using deep learning. The robot is more comfortable with classical and jazz, and is a fan of jams with guitarists or saxophonists.
-Big brother looks at you and listens to you
SamsungSamsung took advantage of CES to unveil Samsung Vision AI. This is a new artificial intelligence that will be implemented in its televisions. TV could thus be “ aware of your surroundings » by listening and observing it. Not necessarily reassuring in principle, but for Samsung, it is to better serve us by adapting to our needs. The AI can thus deliver information on demand on what is broadcast on the screen. It may be the identity of an actor, or it may be carrying out sub-titrationstitrations in real time. AI is integrated intoecosystemecosystem Branded SmartThings. This will allow the television to monitor what is happening in the house and manage connected devices. Samsung also announced the integration of chatbotchatbot Copilot of MicrosoftMicrosoft in televisions.

The first 500 W charger
With Ugreen’s Nexode 500 W, the power delivered for charging is close to that of a radiatorradiator. With its 500 W of power, it is the very first charger in the world in its category. The machine has six sockets USBUSBincluding five USB-CUSB-C and a USB-A. One of the USB-C sockets is capable of handling up to 240 W, while the other four each offer up to 100 W. The question of knowing what to plug into it no longer arises, because the device can also power a powerful computercomputer than recharging an electrically assisted bicycle battery.
Portalgraph is present at CES 2025. The company is dedicated to developing a softwaresoftware which allows you to project the contents of the virtual realityvirtual reality. From the viewer’s side, it is possible to observe the object in 3D from any angle. To achieve this, Portalgraph detects the user’s point of view and generates a 3D display that aligns with their perspective. Point of view detection is carried out either by facial recognition using a webcamwebcamor by attaching a Vive tracker to the user’s head. The 3D display supports a variety of devices, including spotlightsspotlights 3D, 3D televisions and anaglyph glasses.
A robot vacuum cleaner equipped with an arm
To clear the floor of socks lying around or any other object lying on the ground, the Roborock Saros Z70 robot vacuum cleaner is equipped with a robotic arm. He takes out his pliers from his hood which grabs the objects to be picked up provided that they do not weigh more than 300 grams. He will then place it in a previously programmed location, for example, a small basket placed, just like him, on the ground. The machine should be marketed this year for around 1,500 euros. He also knows how to wash and vacuum floors.
