What if, you could create music by just making gestures the way a conductor would? What if you could bend notes on a keyboard the way a violinist creates a tremolo, or if you could dramatically slide from one note to another the way a guitarist slides his/her finger up and down the fretboard?
The Enhancia ring turns any keyboard or MIDI instrument into a theremin-esque one. It sits on your finger, modulating pitch and frequency depending on where your finger is located. Move your hand up and down, and your notes grow more pronounced or muffled, and move it from side to side (in mid-air) to slide between notes and to create complex and beautiful tremolos that touch hearts. Unless your keyboard is the Roli Seaboard, there isn’t much you can do to dramatically modulate your sound, but no worries, because the Enhancia lets your hand weave musical signatures in thin air!
The Enhancia Ring bagged the CES Innovation Award in the Wearables Category for the year 2018.
The future of urban air taxi is closer than you think, this is according to Bell Helicopter. Imagine coasting along in the sky while masses of people are stuck in the gridlock of traffic below. This is the proposition by Bell who is showcasing their future air taxi concept at CES right now.
With a full suite of connectivity technologies such as video calling, Wi-Fi, artificial intelligence and wireless charging, passengers of Bell’s Urban Air Taxi will have the option to fully maximize their airtime. The user has the option to finish off those last minute meeting notes, video call that important someone or just bask in the magnificent surrounding view. The design Bell’s Air Taxi looks as though it’s part of a Hyperloop design entry, and it certainly has me excited. Given the taxi quality of this air travel vehicle, I wonder why Bell chose to have four forward facing chairs and not give the back row their own control panel in the rear and face the back row towards the rear. Design choices aside, Bell’s Air Taxi is sure to be swamped at CES, be sure to check them out!

If you have trouble sleeping, odds are it’s because you openly stared at that small block you carry around in your pocket all day shining a bright light into your eyes just before you nod off. However, if you’re one of the lucky few who doesn’t do that, Philips just came out with a new headband that plays white noise to help your brain get to sleep. Aptly named the SmartSleep, this headband has a funky design, one that definitely makes it distinguishable.
By attaching sensors to the user’s forehead, SmartSleep is able to detect the user’s brain activity, thus recognizing when you’re falling asleep and when you have entered a state of sleep. The band will play a pattern of white noises which should enable the user to reach a state of REM and produce a well rested and better night’s sleep.
Albeit this thing may look a bit funky and is sure to frighten your partner when it’s the first thing they see in the morning, it may be worth it for a sound night’s sleep. Showcased at CES, the SmartSleep is definitely something worth checking out if you’re fortunate enough to be there.
