Some of the Cool Gadgets at CES 2017

The night before the show floor opens, there's this event.
It's called Pepcom,
and it's where all the smaller companies,
the ones who aren't Samsung and LG,
get to show the press what they've been working on all year,
and what's coming next year.
So what we're gonna do, is we're gonna wander around
and find some stuff to play with.
(upbeat techno music)
So what do you have in your hand right now?
Looks like a decent phones, an expensive phones.
Right.
But it's not?
So what I have in my hand is the COOLPAD CONJR.
It is our first unlocked device for the US market,
designed specifically to work on GSM carriers
such at T-mobiles and AT&T LTD networks.
So, it is a Dual Simm product
that carries a 2.5D Glass HD display,
aluminum body, very thin product.
Two of the features that we like a lot about it,
is one, it has an eight megapixel forward-facing camera,
or a selfie camera we call it,
with a forward-facing flash.
What exactly are we looking at here?
Well, AIRBAR is an optical sensor,
which touch enables non-touch laptops.
And it's a simple matter of attaching the AIRBAR device
to the base of your non-touch laptop,
and by plugging in the USB cable,
it projects an infra-red beam of light across the screen,
so then the device becomes a touch screen device,
that would help people enhance their existing device
without having to pay $500, $600+, for a brand new device.

So this is our Travel Keyboard from Kanex,
and it is really nice, sturdy, magnetic, foldable,
and it actually has four Bluetooth connections
so you can hook up to four devices on it,
and switch through them with the touch of a button.
Yeah, and so it's very good for travelling,
using multiple devices, any thing like that.
The thing I thought was amazing about it is
it's super small, but it actually,
like the key travel on it feels like a real keyboard,
it feels like a real laptop keyboard.
It also has insane battery life, right, it has like--
Yeah, it'll last a couple of months.
Months, a couple months? Mm-hmm.
OZOBOTs are basically small, smart, social robots
that you can bring to life
through our patented color command language.
We have a three-tiered system
that teaches you the advantages of creative coding.
It starts with colors,
and then we move you to block-based programming,
and then from there
you can take full control over the OZOBOT
to create your own world.
So is it, the idea is you sort of start with
a very simple way of programming these things
and then it gets more and more complex and free over time?
Absolutely, that's the whole concept
is that we wanted to kind of simplify it
and gamify that whole experience.
So we want to kind of speak to even the six year old
with color commands.
They can just draw colors on a piece of paper
and the sequences of the colors
will actually interpret it for the OZOBOT in to a command.
They can tell it to change speeds, spin, moonwalk, zigzag,
and a whole lot of different things.
So just to be clear,
you can make a robot moonwalk with colors?
[OZOBOT Man] We can, we can do the Michael Jackson.
