9 of the best AI applications showcased at CES 2024

The (CES) is on again in Las Vegas. Hosting more than 4,000 exhibiting companies from around the globe, this trade show showcases the latest innovations in numerous areas. When it comes to AI, there has been some very interesting tech unveiled this year. Let's take a look. 1. Mirror, mirror on the wall, why do I feel so sad? The first standout artificial intelligence (AI) application at CES 2024 is CES "Innovation Awards Honoree," .

Its creators, Baracoda Daily Healthtech, claim it is the world's first AI powered smart mirror for holistic well being. The seamless, touchless experience includes gesture recognition, voice command, and intent detection. BMind utilizes advanced AI technology, such as Computer Vision and Large Language Models (LLMs), to analyze expressions, gestures, and language and then offers personalized recommendations for health and well being based on the user's supposed mental state.

The company also claims to process information locally to ensure data privacy and security. 2. The DeRUCCI T11 Pro Smart Mattress is a first of its kind is a smart mattress that uses Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) technology to adjust to each individual's needs to provide optimal sleep.

It uses 23 flexible sleep/health sensors that can instantly track subtle changes in position, body temperature, heart rate, and health. Additionally, it has 18 flexible support airbags that respond to movement and position, supporting the head, spine, etc. The AI powered mattress employs big data, AI software algorithms, smart software/hardware adjustments, sleep monitoring, and can connect to other AIoT home appliances.

The mattress can even warn the user about potential health issues before the user is aware of them. 3. Holobox could be the future of advertising Another interesting AI application at this year's CES comes from Netherlands based tech company , which recently showcased its state of the art Holobox product.

This innovative holographic solution is powered by advanced AI technology, and is capable of displaying full sized, lifelike holograms of people in real time with no latency. The lifelike visualization allows for realistic and interactive conversation experiences and has wide ranging applications in fields such as advertising, hospitality, healthcare, retail, and education.

For example, in the hospitality sector, it could be used to provide concierge services, showcase hotel amenities, or act as a virtual tour guide. The Holobox is available in and number of different versions, including the standard Holobox, the Modular Holobox, and the Holobox Mini. 4. The Nobi smart lamp is just what the doctor ordered is a ceiling mounted version of Nobi’s award winning AI powered "smart lamp" that detects and prevents falls and monitors health and activity patterns.

Falls are the leading cause of fatal injuries among older adults— over 65 falls at least once a year. When older people fall, rapid help is crucial. Shockingly, half of all older adults who remain on the floor for longer than one hour following a fall, die within six months of the fall. To help prevent this, Nobi's Smart Lamps are designed to detect 100% of falls.

This device has already been proven successful in the European market and in senior living facilities in the U.S. 5. The Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro is also a pretty good gaming machine To date, smartphone games have not been able to stand up to their PC or console rivals, but the high end gaming smartphone could change that.

The device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, significantly enhancing CPU and GPU performance, making it a powerhouse for gaming and multitasking. Additionally, it features up to 24 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1 TB UFS 4.0 ROM, ensuring smooth and responsive operations. However, the Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro has also incorporated many interesting AI enhancements, primarily in its camera system and software features.

The phone uses advanced computational photography algorithms to enhance image quality. The AI Object Sense feature in the camera divides the image into multiple sections and optimizes contrast and saturation separately, resulting in more vivid and natural looking images. Moreover, the phone's software includes various AI enhanced features for gaming, which aim to provide a more intuitive and efficient gaming experience.

6. Why not let a robot look after your dog? Another interesting AI application from CES 2024 is the ORo. Designed as a pet sitter for busy families, the mobility, adaptable AI, and a pet friendly design to provide mental stimulation. The device includes a feeder and medication dispenser and you can schedule it to engage in play and training sessions, as well as remotely monitor your pet's health.

ORo can also be used to create engaging video stories for seamless social media sharing. As a central hub, ORo integrates with smart accessories like collars, voice assistants, and third party pet care services, and provides access to our pet supply marketplace. With Oro, you never need to bother looking after your pet ever again (obviously, we are joking).

7. The HP Spectre x360 14 is dripping in new AI features Yet another AI application at this year's CES is the This remarkable laptop boasts a dedicated AI chip that enhances several functionalities. For instance, it features a 9 MP camera with hardware enabled low light adjustment, which ensures clear visuals even in low light settings.

Additionally, the laptop's AI capabilities extend to security features such as a walk away lock, wake on approach, and privacy alerts, all of which improve the device's safety. also has smart power management features that optimize its performance. One such feature is the screen dimmer, which activates when you look away from the screen.

The laptop's fan noise and temperature are also automatically adjusted based on usage, positioning, and battery status. These adjustments are designed to ensure that the laptop runs smoothly and efficiently. The device is equipped with powerful CPU, GPU, and NPU supported by Intel Core Ultra processors and, if required, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPUs.

These systems, reportedly, work in tandem to perform various AI related tasks effectively, thereby improving the efficiency of content creation and collaboration. The Spectre x360 14 is the first consumer device to feature Poly's audio tuning, which enhances voice clarity and sound quality. The laptop also leverages Windows Studio effects, including automatic framing, background blur, and eye contact maintenance, to improve video calls and collaboration.

8. The Samsung AI Family Hub+ is an intelligent refrigerator With advanced AI food recognition and tracking capabilities, Samsung has launched a new refrigerator called . The fridge is customizable, intelligent, and has a 32 inch full HD display 2.1x larger than previous Family Hub models. "Family Hub lets you see inside your smart refrigerator, manage your family’s calendars, stream music, see who’s at the front door, and much more, all right from your fridge," explains Samsung.

It also features a "Picture in Picture" function that allows you to watch your favorite shows and use multiple apps on one screen. The new Auto Open Door feature makes it easy to access your fridge, even when your hands are full. 9. First time parent? Why not give this AI powered baby cry translator a go And finally, another AI application that has caught our eye is a phone app that uses AI and machine learning to .

This app lets users get invaluable information on whether their little bundle of joy is hungry, uncomfortable, tired, or needs a diaper change. There is no need to learn anything about your baby when AI can do it for you (again, we're joking). Cappella, the company behind the app, claims that its technology is around 95% accurate, compared to what it claims is the roughly 30% accuracy rate of humans who attempt to guess their babies' needs.

Though, we wager most parents would disagree with this figure. The application has a monthly subscription fee of $10. Cappella is also developing a feature allowing parents to monitor their baby's temperature as an additional data point for analysis. And that's your lot for today. There are plenty of other interesting AI technologies at CES 2024, but these few, we think, are some of the most standout and interesting.
