Dancing Cats and Vacuums Join a Sideshow during CES 2012Ever consternation where a uncanny toys in a “As Seen On TV” territory of Walgreens come from? Odds are, that clap-activated, Macarena-singing chimpanzee we bought for laughs came from CES during some point. Whether a vendors are indeed offered a things themselves or only regulating it to block their tangible product, there are copiousness of weird, eye-catching gizmos strewn opposite a South Hall of a Las Vegas.
Dancing Robot Cat
Nothing sells tiny cameras like robotic cats dancing to “Ring of Fire”. These capering kittens are indeed sole by U.K.-based newness store Thumbs Up. All we need are 3 AA batteries and an audio device with a headphone jack, and your cat will boogie. Personally, I’ll hang to my genuine cats–though these 3 are positively easier to purify adult after.
Robot Baby Seal
Our drudge animal thesis continues with a Paro, a drudge baby sign designed in Japan (where else)? Paro is no gimmick, though–its function is modeled after an tangible baby seal, and it sells for about $7000. That’s since it’s designed for healing uses; with a Paro, a sanatorium or nursing home could suffer a same healing advantages of a cat or dog for a patients or residents but a compared mess.
Dancing Vacuum
Deebot, during your serviceThe Deebot is apparently a initial drudge opening to sing and dance. We trust it. Unfortunately, there was no indication on demonstration, so there’s no word on either this “gentlemanly” opening will open doors for all ladies or cite blondes. On a other hand, he is vacuuming for you, that is nice.
The Coolest Work Chair Ever
Your throne, EmperorThis space-age “integrated work environment” is called a Emperor, and it looks like a cranky between a La-Z-Boy and an Aeron bureau chair. It also, coincidentally, looks like it’s finale adult on my Christmas list. It comes with 3 displays built into that beyond section, and we can set adult your keyboard and rodent on tractable trays in front of you. All that will cost we about $6200, yet if that’s not baller adequate for you, we can opt for a fine indication with a touchscreen control row and an air-filtration complement for a cold $44,000.
We’ll be gripping an eye out for some-more uncanny things from a uncover building currently and tomorrow, so check behind regularly.
