Metaverse and Web3 took centre stage with a dedicated section in the convention centre’s Central Hall. Haptic – anything related to the sense of touch – was the ultimate keyword at CES 2023. For example, US-based gaming company OWO displayed a wearable suit, a sort of biceps-to-torso second skin for gamers interacting with the virtual environment.
Rekindling with Nature

Sustainability is not only about performing well and contributing to reducing ominous figures but also about triggering awareness and rekindling with Nature. Unistellar launched EVscope, a smart urban telescope allowing urban dwellers to see and dream about the stars above them beyond the pollution blanket. AI-powered birdbox Bird Buddy films any feathered friend that stops by for a snack and identifies its species.
Health & pee sensors

At CES 2023, health tech was king. Watches, collars, and pillows can now track your earth beats and even make graphic displays on your dog’s snoring performances. Besides tacky gadgets and gizmos, we were quite impressed by the Withings U-Scan pee sensor. The device sits at the front of your toilet. When you sit and pee, it collects the urine, analyzes it, and then sends the results to your phone.
Matter matters

From tv projectors to stand mixers, smart home tech is king at CES, and this year was no different. But the most supported and discussed innovation was Matter, the newly launched, open-source smart home standard that brings compatibility with Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings within a single wireless protocol. Because if it works with Matter, it works with everything, and companies would update entire product lines to ensure total interoperability.
Money and energy-saving devices

As the cost of living crisis strikes, keeping on top of bills has never been so important to many households. Kohler‘s H2Wise smart water system will alert owners to leaks, frozen pipes, and changes in water pressure. Schneider Electric has released its new smart home energy products with a focus on sustainability. Products that make up the ecosystem include smart electrical panels and switches that can be controlled from an app.
