This year starts off on the right foot with CES 2014, the biggest technology expo in the US, where we can see today what tomorrow holds for us: smart contact lenses with built-in displays, 3D printers, the next generations of phones, tablets, laptops and many other tech innovations will be revealed in the next few days.
We’ve already seen some of the gadgets at CES 2014 and everything promises to be more impressive than what we’ve seen in the years before, with the spotlights shining on wearable tech and the smart, connected home. One manufacturer even promised to give us working contact lenses with built-in display and internet connectivity, and Google will also show off their glasses and other new stuff.
Among the things that have been presented so far, a smart ambient lamp that’s controlled by an iDevice was very popular with many attendants: called Holi, the LED-lamp can reproduce a large variety of colors and you can choose the color and adjust the light’s intensity with an app that’s installed on your iPhone or iPad. Furthermore, you can download “Ambiental Themes”, various patterns of changing colors that will enhance your mood. If you don’t like the available themes you can also create your own themes with the app and share them with your friends. When you listen to music on your iPhone, Holi syncs with your tunes and creates a ‘dancing’ pattern that fits your favorite music style, and it can also notify you of messages or missed calls.
Finally, the smart lamp also has a ‘dawn simulator’, meaning that it knows when you’ve set your alarm and it tries to gently wake you up by simulating a sunrise’s light. Holi can be ordered online and it is probably one of the many smart, interconnected gadgets that will fill our homes in the upcoming future.
