[ad_1] With that in mind, Comma AI returned to Vegas (for CES) to show off its latest product, the Comma Two. Since 2016, the company has released hardware and software that takes the ADAS (Advanced driver-assistance systems) features of a vehicle and in some cases supercharges them. I had the opportunity to test-drive a Honda […]

[ad_1] I’ve reviewed Traeger’s Timberline and Ironwood connected grills that allow you to control and monitor the machine remotely. The connectivity offered via that company’s WiFire tech is extremely useful, especially during longer cooks like a brisket or pork shoulder. Trager’s app has a massive library of recipes and you can automatically set grill temperature […]

[ad_1] Crafting a companion Samsung is no stranger to trotting out robots at big trade shows — just last year, it revealed a trio of service-oriented Bots at CES designed to help manage people’s health care routines, guide customers through stores and, uh, purify air. Those were among Samsung’s first attempts at truly “personal” robots, […]

[ad_1] The Segway S-Pod is a vehicle designed for future smart cities, when cars are less common but folks still need to get around comfortably. The pod itself is suspended between two wheels, giving the entire chair a floaty feel when you’re nestled in its suede seat. It’s controlled with a flat, round joystick on […]

[ad_1] L’Oreal has a more elegant solution in the works called the Perso Smart Skincare system, which is a portable skincare dispenser that spits out a small amount of product that is formulated each time you push its button. First, you’ll have to use the companion app to set up your profile, take three photos […]

[ad_1] I watched Julia (named after Ms. Child) being used to make both cream of mushroom soup and steamed salmon, and it’s clearly perfect for these sort of test-kitchen demos. Throw in your vegetables (pre-peeled and roughly chopped) and you’ll soon be able to use the bowl’s heating element to begin cooking. While this went […]

Canon’s ultimate photo camera is also a video powerhouse

[ad_1] The bulk isn’t without purpose, though. The 1DX series is built with durability, reliability, accuracy and speed in mind. The 20.1-megapixel sensor isn’t winning any resolution contests, but this modest number helps it deliver a blistering 16fps shooting speed through the viewfinder. The experience of actually using that fast of a burst though is […]

[ad_1] The content is there. When 360 Reality Audio was first announced, my primary concern was content availability. It’s one thing to create a new audio standard, it’s another to convince people to use it. Sony has its own record label, so it had a library of music to pull from. Plus, it negotiated deals […]

[ad_1] SelfieType is a project out of the Korean giant’s C-Lab startup incubator, which uses the front-facing camera to track your motion. Prop your phone up as if it was a display, fire up the app, and then touch type onto the table as if you had a keyboard there. The phone’s front-facing camera and […]

Ergatta isn’t the first connected rowing machine, but it is the prettiest

[ad_1] This being Engadget, I’d like to pause here and say a few words about the hardware. And this is important, because the machine really is gorgeous. Other than the electronic bits, it’s made of cherry wood, sourced and built in the US. (The company itself is based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.) This is a tank-based […]
