The Taclim VR shoes on display at CES
SHOES that help the wearer feel the virtual reality world they’re walking in and a smart hairbrush that can detect hair damage are among the early product highlights at CES.
The annual Las Vegas technology showcase, which started yesterday, draws companies and products from around the world to its convention centre to showcase their creations.
Among the hi- tech wonders on show will be Taclim VR shoes, which work in sync with virtual reality headsets and a Hypersuit which gives the wearer the impression they have wings or can fly like a superhero.
Also on show will be Olly the personal assistant, described as a “robot with personality”, a smart home hub that uses machine learning to evolve as you speak to it.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
