The event, hosted in Las Vegas, is a platform for companies to showcase their latest high-tech products to manufacturers, retailers, and tech enthusiasts. But what are some of the whacky technologies being created… 

The Anti-snore pillow is here!

Finally, a way to stop that snoring. But how does this work? The pillow uses deployable airbags to reposition the sleeper’s head when they start to snore. I’m not sure how this doesn’t wake you up, but company 10Minds seems dedicated to its cause.

Smart Birdhouse?

You may never have thought you needed this, but the smart bird feeder is one showcased. It uses a camera and AI to identify birds that sit on it. Maybe it ruins the fun of trying to name them yourself, but this tech lets you birdwatch 24/7.

Ever wanted to analyse your urine? No? Now you can!

One company, Withings, has developed a scanner that you insert into your toilet, and it will analyse your urine. What’s useful is it will keep tabs on your nutrition levels, monitor menstruation, and many more health indicators. This one I think is quite useful if you can get past the robot inside your toilet.

Sustainability is the buzzword everyone is talking about

If there is one thing all these companies are agreeing on it’s that sustainability is at the core of their ideologies. Every company stated how their product was more sustainable than a previous product or rival. However, while this does not feel sincere, it is definitely a step in the right direction.
