CES 2024 isn’t only about big, mainstream products. There are many fun, quirky products hidden away throughout the halls and hotel suites in Las Vegas.
CES 2024 sprawls out all over Las Vegas, filling not only the convention center, but also huge additional spaces and hundreds (possibly thousands) of hotel suites, all full of eager tech firms and entrepreneurs looking to show off their products and inventions.
It means the show is full of mainstream and not so mainstream gadgets. It’s the latter we’re interested in here as we take a look at some of the quirkier devices found at CES 2024.Belkin Auto-Tracking Stand
Put your iPhone on Belkin’s mad Auto-Tracking Stand, and it will allow the camera to follow you around the room, tracking your antics for you to take a video call, share on video later, or livestream as it all happens. The motorized base travels through 360 degrees and has 90 degrees of tilt, ensuring you really can make the most of the space around you and still not have the camera miss a moment of what happens.
It’s the first product to receive Apple’s Works with DockKit certification and is compatible with all iPhone models after the iPhone 12. It also includes a MagSafe charger, so the phone’s battery won’t go flat when it’s being used on the dock. The Auto-Tracking Stand is coming out soon and will cost $180.Withings BeamO
Withings keeps coming up with unusual, innovative health-tracking devices, and the Withings BeamO is another to add to the list. It combines blood oxygen level tracking, a medical-grade ECG, a digital stethoscope, and a body temperature monitor into one handy device. As always with Withings, it’s designed to be aesthetically pleasing and not look like something you’d find in a hospital. The sensors collect data and collate it in an app, where it can then be shared with a doctor.
It can track up to eight different people in the same household, so you won’t need to own more than one, and the battery is expected to last up to eight months without recharging.
