Unveiling the Future: Must-See Gadgets from CES 2025!

Greetings to CES 2025, a showcase where technology firms are unveiling their most recent advancements — some more functional than others. From $60,000 clear televisions to RGB-lit RAM sticks, this year’s exhibition focuses on exploring limits (and price labels). Let’s review several of the most striking announcements, along with one stylish highlight.

A gadget that interprets your thoughts

Another device aims to be your AI companion — this time, it’s Omi, a $89 gadget that you drape around your neck (or, for the daring, on your temple secured with medical tape). It’s perpetually alert, prepared to summarize your dialogues or check Bitcoin values. The company even claims to be working on a feature that would enable it to interpret your thoughts, which they describe as entirely sci-fi… but perhaps achievable in the next two years? At least it won’t leave your wallet $60,000 lighter like certain other items at CES.

A security robot that can defend you with paintballs

Now for something entirely unique: a surveillance camera that fires paintballs at trespassers. The PaintCam is available in four versions, including one specifically designed to deter wildlife. It can even deploy UV paint to assist law enforcement in tracking tagged intruders. The company dubs this ‘Safety Simplified,’ as nothing screams simplicity like a home defense system that simultaneously functions as a paintball shooter.

Jensen Huang’s latest leather jacket

Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang stepped onto the CES stage for his keynote presentation embodying his characteristic flair — a sleek black leather jacket. However, this was no ordinary jacket — it was a new $8,990 Tom Ford creation featuring an embossed crocodile design. During his address, he even inquired of the audience whether they appreciated his latest appearance.

It bears a resemblance — both in appearance and price — to one he donned at another technology event in 2024. But, hey, when leading a company valued at $3.44 trillion, why not sport a new jacket for each occasion?

Vibrantly designed DRAM

Nvidia’s CEO wasn’t the only one exhibiting a fresh style at CES — Corsair is displaying its Custom Lab ingenuity on DRAM modules. They have eight distinct designs, including exquisite cherry blossom and cutting-edge sci-fi light motifs, presented in black, white, or gray. These aren’t merely DRAM components with attractive aesthetics — they maintain high-performance standards. It seems your computer’s memory is poised for its stylish debut.

A $1,900 intelligent ring

Ultrahuman introduced a smart ring made of 18-karat gold priced at $1,900 (or $2,200 for platinum). In a market where other wearables like Humane’s AI Pin are finding it challenging to establish themselves, Ultrahuman is banking on affluent consumers preferring their health monitoring to carry a luxury price point. Functionally, it mirrors their $350 Ring Air — but hey, at least this one is named after desert dunes and includes a lifetime subscription.

A gaming chair that can blow hot or cold air at you

Razer has revamped gaming comfort — their prototype chair can blow either hot or cold air. Naturally, since this is Razer presenting at CES, this temperature-regulated chair required a dramatic title: Project Arielle. The chair employs a bladeless fan technology that can cool you off during heated gaming sessions or provide warmth on chilly days.

Unlike many of Razer’s outrageous CES concepts (remember that fold-out triple-screen laptop?), this one genuinely appears viable, albeit slightly indulgent. However, you must remain connected to a power source — spinning 360 degrees will have you resembling a power cable mummy.

AI companions that can tease you (or support your gameplay)

Now AI aims to be your gaming partner — or your most blunt critic. Inworld AI and Streamlabs (LOGI) are developing an ‘Intelligent Streaming Assistant’ that can celebrate your Fortnite triumphs or, presumably, poke fun at your building skills. It will even activate special effects when you accomplish something noteworthy, although based on the demo, it seemed nearly as smooth as a robot attempting stand-up comedy.

Desire a witty AI co-host to comment on your gameplay? Coming to Streamlabs later this year, your experience may vary depending on your gaming prowess and how well you can handle a bit of banter.

A lamp that functions as a smart garden

LG is merging two items we never knew we needed together: a smart lamp and an indoor garden. Their new freestanding light also serves as a plant haven, equipped with LED lighting that can nurture your plants and create ambiance. It features a clever shelf in the center capable of accommodating up to twenty plants, along with a built-in irrigation system that understands precisely what your green companions require.

At last, a smart home device that could genuinely enliven your space — although, like many of LG’s most exciting innovations showcased at CES, it remains uncertain if it will soon appear in stores near you.

Checking your temperature? No, assessing your hormones

Exhausted from merely monitoring your steps and sleep? The Hormometer is here to enable you to gauge your hormone levels too. It’s a simple stick that utilizes your saliva and phone camera to evaluate stress and reproductive hormones such as cortisol and progesterone.

At $8 per month, it’s significantly cheaper than conventional laboratory tests — though specialists are expressing skepticism about the entire ‘hormone balancing’ fad it’s riding on. Nonetheless, for anyone confronting genuine hormone-related health concerns, obtaining lab-quality results without visiting the lab could be a transformative experience.
