CES 2018

During the annual melee of CES 2018, the world seemed to have largely overlooked one of the largest, most tech-packed debuts of the show. Furrion revealed an all-out glamping tractor-trailer. The new concept joined Furrion's 2017 Elysium, a motorhome concept with built-in helipad and hot tub.

We've covered many folding electric scooters over recent years, from slim stand-up designs to larger sit-atop models. The all-new Relync R1 takes a different form than most with a three-wheel, sit-down chassis that folds instantly and packs down to suitcase size.

​Should a woman wish to know if she's ovulating, she can find out by checking a sample of her saliva for luteinizing hormone. Although there are already kits that allow users to check samples "the old-fashioned way," me.mum reportedly lets them do it quicker and easier – on their smartphone.

As flashy as electric cars like the Byton Concept and Fisker EMotion are, the most eye-grabbing vehicle at CES might be the Ujet electric scooter. Ujet calls it a sculptural, asymmetrical design, and it's driven by distinctive equipment like the center-less orbital wheels and full technology suite.

The Consumer Electronics Show, the year's biggest tech expo, has been running all week in Las Vegas, and the biggest names in the business have been showing off their new gadgets and hardware for 2018. Now that the dust is settling, we'd like to present some of the highlights.

​Generally speaking, open-backed headphones like the audiophile-on-a-budget HD 650s offer listeners a more spacious, detailed and accurate sound than those with a closed back design. Sennheiser has attempted to produce that sought after open sound from its decidedly closed back HD 820 headphones.​

Jetpack Aviation continues to beaver away at the future of personal flight, with its VTOL flying car design and a number of jetpack projects up and flying. We spoke to CEO David Mayman about his new, 150mph JB-11 jetpack, FAA regulations and the state of the developing VTOL air taxi industry.

​Hair isn't something you'd normally associate with consumer electronics, but then not all hair-care systems are as tech-heavy as Schwarzkopf Professional SalonLab. It's currently on display at CES in Las Vegas, where it's won two Innovation Awards.

While we have seen countertop dishwashers before, Heatworks' new Tetra is different. It's smaller than just about any other model, plus it's transparent and it doesn't need to be hooked up to a faucet – all that's required is an electrical outlet.

At CES this year, Sony launched the LSPX-A1 laser projector that combines big screen, 4K projected visuals with its forte for top sound quality in one unit. And it carries a ticket price of US$30,000, which is only a few thousand less than the starting price for a brand new Model 3.​

​There's more than one way to conjure up an augmented reality experience, as the DeepFrame One AR screen being demoed at CES 2018 this week proves. Instead of having users wear chunky AR specs, the display uses optical trickery to make moving objects appear as if they're actually in the room.​

Prior to 2018, Fisker had yet to properly introduce its EMotion to the world, despite plenty of teasing. That's all changed at CES, where Fisker is showing off a devilishly red EMotion, its compelling interior and the battery technology that promises to drive it over 400 miles (644 km) per charge.
