Epson is one of many competitors offering Google Glass-like augmented reality spectacles, but now the company is showing off the ability to combine its smart glasses with other wearables.

China's ZTE is the world's fourth-largest smartphone maker, although it retains a low profile in North America, much of Europe and other big markets. That could change very soon as the company rolls out a few big new phones in the coming months.

Like Sony's Xperia Z1 and the oversized Z Ultra, the new Z1 Compact is a handsome, polished-looking phone that's resistant to both water and dust while being designed for the smartphone user with smaller hands or pockets.

HiSense, a Chinese-based manufacturer best known for its range of white goods and other household electrical appliances, is planning to bring its X1 mobile device to the US later this year. With its 6.8-inch display, the device straddles the blurry phablet line between tablet and smartphone.

Ultra HD 4K displays were everywhere at CES 2014, but the question remains, do we need displays with such high resolution, given that the human eye isn't likely to be able to tell the difference between 4K and 2K in most viewing environments? And who is making content in 4K anyway?

Gizmag gets some hands-on time with the Avegant Glyph, a virtual retinal display fused with a pair of high-quality headphones that replicates the experience of sitting in an empty, darkened movie theater, except with a better picture.

Toshiba's "smart mirror" concept from CES 2014 makes a number of Hollywood science fiction computer systems a reality, but still seems like something from a distant future.

The Solar Cooler, as its name implies, is a portable container for food and drinks that keeps its contents cold using a compact refrigeration system connected to solar panels. According to the designers, the cooler can hold a steady temperature of 42° F (5.5° C) for over 24 hours.

Gizmag met up with Tobii at CES 2014 to see first-hand how the company's eye-tracking technology could change how we interact with computers and play video games.

myris is a new iris-scanning identity authentication device that promises to improve online security for its users and eliminate the need to remember the myriad of different passwords required for our different digital accounts.
