The Consumer Electronics Show draws to a close. This year everything was a tad unnerving.
The Consumer Electronics Show returned to Las Vegas in hopes of bringing back tech enthusiasts to showrooms for demos and keynotes. Many publications and companies stayed home and watched the latest Omicron surge.
Many empty showroom floors were featured in the hybrid event. But don't worry! The tech companies had plenty to show off. The best of everything that happened at the Consumer Electronics Show was here.

Tech that was part of the pandemic-era is also part of the pandemic-era.
If you want a mask that offers both protection and a party, you're in the right place.
The company showed a concept called Project Hazel at the Consumer Electronics Show in January of 2021. Two-way air filters and fans are included in the masks. Covid safety and a rave for your face is what you get. What's not to love?

lavitre invites you to completely eliminate your home privacy for those looking to liven up their work-from- home setup. It's a fullscreen video portal that connects you with your coworkers. A coworker can step into view to answer the call if you knock on the screen like you would an office door.
The worst part? It's always on, even if it's blurred for privacy. Who doesn't need work-life balance?
Enhancements to self-care.

There were plenty of ways to treat yourself at the tech show.
The Colorsonic is an at- home hair dye wand that promises to make coloring your hair as seamless as brushing it.

Kohler's new PerfectFill drain kit system promises to preset your bath's temperature and depth every time, for the rich people. You can start the bath with a voice command on the Kohler app, for the price of $2,700, plus the cost of a Kohler tub and spout.
Who doesn't need headphones?
This makes sound to your ears. Noveto was credited.
If you could have the private listening experience of headphones without actually wearing any, what would it be like?
Noveto showed off a soundbar at the Consumer Electronics Show, which is said to be able to place it near your ears without bothering anyone. It also has face- tracking tech to sync with any movement you make, and to be honest it all sounds too good to be true. We'll be keeping an eye on it, because it's slated to debut later this year.

Some of the new auto ideas and accessories garner more excitement than others.

The iQ is a car accessory that can be used in less cool cars. It has a dash cam with three cameras and accident- tracking tech.
There is a robot takeover.

The robot revolution is imminent, but we didn't think it would be relaxing.
At the Consumer Electronics Show, Massage Robotics launched its flagship bot, which is a 7-foot- tall gargantuan with two arms. It can understand verbal commands, communicate data with a neural network, and is more affordable than a regular human massage.
The future of farming.

If you've always wanted to run away and become a farmer but were afraid of being unable to drive a tractor, you're not alone.
John Deere's updated tractor can drive itself. It uses a deep neural network to determine its movements and has six pairs of stereo cameras. If you still don't trust self-driving tractor, you can monitor it via phone with access to live video, images, data, and metrics to adjust elements like speed and depth.
