Five interesting products unveiled at consumer technology event- QHN

From transparent displays to AI-powered gadgets, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this year had the newest innovations in the field of consumer technology from the biggest brands around the globe. Some lesser-known brands also came forward with interesting products that made headlines. Here is a list of products unveiled at the CES 2024 that caught our eyes:

AI-powered Rabbit R1

AI domination is here to stay as it was apparent during CES 2024, thanks to the Rabbit R1. Powered by a Large Action Model (LAM), the AI-powered gadget works on Rabbit OS. The Rabbit R1 looks like a retro gaming console with a 2.88-inch touchscreen and a rotating camera for taking pictures and recording videos. Powered by the MediaTek Helio P35 chipset, the Rabbit R1 is capable of handling multiple apps from a single interface.

The display interface on R1 is in the form of multiple cards for different purposes such as travelling, music, food, and more. Users can prompt the R1 to order a cab, play a music track or order food online without having to open their smartphone or logging in to an app or service. Rather than trying to replace smartphones, the AI tech startup Rabbit’s R1 is trying to be a smartphone companion similar to a chat assistant but with a separate hardware.

MSI Claw

At the CES 2024, Taiwanese electronic maker MSI unveiled its latest handheld gaming console ‘Claw’ to compete against the likes of ASUS ROG Ally and Steam Deck.
