The 13 coolest things I saw this year
Let ’s summarize, let
’s go.
A few people I met at CES in Las Vegas in 2019 said, "I
didn't even have this year." It means that compared to the average year. I
think it was better to say that it was “boring” than it was not. But that
doesn't mean you didn't have a cool gadget. On the other hand, there were a lot
of things that seemed “good”, of course.
The US Gizmodo team went around and found many interesting
things. Stockings using bulletproof vest material, artificial meat full of
deliciousness, etc. Although it was not the latest technology equal gadget
best, let's launch 13 best gadgets selected by Gizmodo.
1. Royole Bending Device
It may be the default for future mobile phones. If you were
surprised to hear that, Royole has developed a mobile phone that already bends.
CES tested a mobile phone called FlexPai (price $ 1320). When opened, the
Royole Flexpai display is a 7.8-inch active-matrix organic EL "AMOLED"
display. The display is halved when bent back. Well, it's amazing, but what I
can't do is that the phone isn't completely flat, it's really just
"turning." I just hope that Samsung ’s mobile phone is better than
this.
2. The North Face super waterproof
fabric
"Futurelight" Its amazing. For the last 50 years,
Gore-Tex has set the industry standard, but The North Face is trying to subvert
it with Futurelight. A completely new unique nanospinning technology creates a
layered fabric that incorporates microfibers. The close-up looks like a spider's
web. The fabric escapes air molecules and dissipates heat, but does not get wet
because it does not allow water molecules to pass through. Moreover, it is
lightweight and comfortable. The North Face plans to roll out products using
this fabric from the fall of 2019.
3. Artificial meat "The
Impossible Burger 2.0"
Artificial meat is fake meat. The point is that taste is
also fake. Artificial meat hamburger “Impossible Burger 2.0” has been
developing artificial meat that looks and tastes like plant-derived protein.
What was being shown at CES this time was a new work of this second generation.
And the taste was ... In the US Gizmodo, compared to Impossible Burger 2.0 and
the ordinary hamburger Shake Shack burger, compared to the actual hamburger,
even though it was a little cold, the artificial meat exceeded the taste of
real meat. It was really delicious. Impossible Burger will appear in the supermarket
soon. Happy. But maybe the cow is the happiest.
4. D-Link's future 5G router
Internet anytime, anywhere without cable? As the name
suggests, the new D-Link DWR-2010 5G NR router is the next generation 5G
communication technology. If you have electricity and a SIM card, you can use
the broadband high-speed Internet within the scope of 5G service. D-Link is
scheduled to be released through carriers in the second half of 2019. The price
will also be set by the carrier. But it seems that it will still take some time
before 5G connectivity becomes popular.
5. Asus Mothership
It's hard to design a completely new laptop. But Asus did it
with the ROG Mothership GZ700 developed for gamers. The Mothership, which looks
like a good Microsoft Surface, has a graphics card with Nvidia RTX and a 6-core
Intel i9 processor, up to 64GB of memory, and 512GB of the hard drive. The word
“mothership” is exactly right. Since the keyboard can be removed as it looks,
it is quite convenient. Full-color RGB and colors as you wish.
6. LG take-up TV
Last year at CES, LG announced a groundbreaking OLED TV, but
this year, it was exposed to the topic of the venue that it will soon be on the
market. The 65-inch OLED TV R is a wide color “Wide Gamut RGB” with 4K
resolution and HDR. That's a beautiful picture. Not only that, but the
screen is rolled up on a TV stand and stored neatly, so it's hard to love it.
The price and the time when it will be on the market is not clear, but it will
definitely be a million yen.
7. Sheertex bulletproof vest stockings
Stockings are really easy to break. It ’s thin enough to be broken
just by sneezing. Sheertex has created the strongest stockings by using
bulletproof vest material. Sheertex Sheerly Genius is priced at $ 100. I
couldn't break any test. Although it is a new technology, its appearance is no
different from conventional stockings. According to Sheertex, it is 10 times
better than competitors. COSPA may be considerably better than buying it up
soon.
8. Spigen's complete wireless charging
case
Wireless charging is an excellent way to charge your device
just by placing it on the charging pad without connecting to a power source.
Mobile cover maker Spigen has adopted Ossia's wireless charging technology and
launched a mobile case that can be wirelessly charged. This may change the
future of charging. Spigen Forever Sleeve is a magic case. You can charge a
phone with a cover just by placing it near an Ossia wireless transmitter. It will likely be on the market in earnest after 2020, but when it was
tested at CES, it really worked.
9. Osé smart vibrator
Lora DiCarlo's Osé won the CES Innovation Award. This smart
vibrator is a product of robotics, biomimicry, and engineering. An adult toy
that makes full use of micro-robotics. It can be said that this is a completely
innovative technology. Unfortunately, CES has withdrawn the award for reasons
of "immorality" after the award. The end of the story is reported in
US Gizmodo.
10. Vive Pro Eye
This item is a must-see for those who think that virtual
reality on the market is not good enough. Vive will push the evolution of
technology. Vive Pro Eye is based on the previous product, Vive Pro, but uses
eye-tracking technology. Images seen through the device are clearer than ever.
Options can be selected by tracking the line of sight, eliminating some
applications. Vive Pro Eye will be available around the second quarter of this
year. The price is undecided.
11. TCL 8K TV Roku
Like last year, 8K TV was a great success at CES 2019. LG,
Sony, Samsung, and Big Face were all launching the 8K model to be released this
year, but TCL was creating a venue with the QLED 8K TV lineup. Although it
didn't look much like a competitor, TCL is good at making high-quality hardware
at a low price. So it seems that 8K TV will be realized in the hands of
ordinary people. However, if you want 8K TV.
12. Magic high-tech concealer Opté
It ’s magic. Opté Want hides skin spots like a magic wand.
By spraying a very small amount of Salem aiming at different spots on the skin
pigment, it will be pinpointed and blended with other parts of the skin to hide
the spots. Take 200 skin images per second, analyze the contrast of melanin,
and then apply serum to the necessary areas. I didn't announce the release date
or price, but I don't think magic is cheap.
13. Vizio's spinning Atmos soundbar
Future surround sound, Dolby Atmos. A Dolby Atmos compatible
track produces a three-dimensional sound. Vizio brilliantly read the demand
that users want to turn Dolby Atmos on and off. Rotates as if it has the will,
launching sound toward the ceiling, or facing the front, allowing for flexible
sound effects. Vizio did not clarify the specific development time, but it was
a gadget that I would like to be able to do.
