The annual Consumer Electronics Show is a great place to see the most ambitious consumer tech coming in the near future, but one company stood out in terms of the breadth of weird on display.
At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, South Korean electronics giant, LG, brought a bunch of ideas that may or may not ever reach people's homes, but definitely found a place in our hearts. The companies under the corporate umbrella showed off some weird and wonderful things at the Consumer Electronics Show.
A dual up monitor.
We're stacking monitors. The credit is given to the company:
Both offices and work-from- home setup have dual-monitors that are coveted. It streamlines a lot of the work day to be able to have vital information open on one screen while you work on another. Or on the internet. That is also fine.
The dual up monitor is a new take on this. It has two regular 21.5-inch monitors stacked on top of each other, producing a single display with a hilarious 16:18 aspect ratio. The reason for this is that it serves the same purpose as two monitors, while removing the neck strain that accumulates by rotating your head from left to right constantly.
Right now, whether or not that is true is irrelevant. It is a cool and weird thing to look at. The price and availability of the dualup was not shared by SAMSUNG.
Virtual ride.
Take that, Peloton. The display is from LG.
Have you ever wondered what would happen if the size of the bike made it hard to fit in your home? The Virtual Ride is a separate company from the parent corporation, but it is the same thing.
Virtual Ride is a concept that hasn't been confirmed for a home release yet. The idea is to fully immerse the rider in their workout, turning a home bike ride into a stroll through a scenic Italian villa, among other possibilities.
The media chair is used.
It looks pretty nice. The display is from LG.
Virtual Ride isn't the only goofy idea that puts a big screen directly in your field of view. Meet the media chair.
This one is pretty straightforward. It is a chair with a 55 inch TV and speakers built in, which is essentially a single person home movie theater. Is it useful for people who don't live alone? Probably not. If money were not an object, would it be a good way to watch a movie? Absolutely.
At the Consumer Electronics Show, there were no firm release plans on hand, but the company confirmed to The Verge that it will sell it eventually.
There is an omnipod.
The mobile home of the future is here. The credit is given to the company:
Home electronics and appliances are made by the company. At the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show, one of the concepts is an electronic home.
You can live in a self-driving vehicle called Omnipod. There are big screens and virtual assistants who can help you with things like ordering food. It could be an office, living room, and home theater all in one place. It may never be available for purchase.
Enjoy it now.
