　　One of the world's largest technology events, CES, is happening this week in Las Vegas, Nevada. The show is produced by the Consumer Technology Association which is based in Arlington, Virginia. CES presents the latest technology offerings from companies across the world.

　　Here is a look at some top products presented at CES 2024.

　　Transparent televisions

　　Electronics manufacturers LG and Samsung brought televisions to CES that have a transparent screen design. The TVs use OLED technology. They are designed to be hidden in a room when not in use.

　　David Park, from LG's Home Entertainment Division, described OLED to the Associated Press (AP) as a "material that we can print on any type of surface." In this case, Park said OLED was printed onto a piece of glass.

　　When not in the transparent setting, the TVs have a traditional, black background. The companies presenting the TVs did not provide pricing information, but experts say the transparent models are likely to cost tens of thousands of dollars.

　　AI for Hyundai and Kia vehicles

　　South Korea's Samsung announced it was cooperating with automaker Hyundai to develop "home-to-car" and "car-to-home" services for all Hyundai and Kia vehicles.

　　This artificial intelligence (AI)-powered system will permit users of Samsung's SmartThings service to remotely set their vehicle's temperature or open its windows. And users can control lights and connect to devices inside the home when inside the car.

　　Car parking robot

　　South Korean electric automotive company HL Mando demonstrated a parking robot called Parkie. It is designed to operate independently in parking structures. The robot can move underneath parked vehicles, lift the cars up and transport them to different spaces or return them to their drivers.

　　Robot pet sitter

　　Robotics developer Ogmen presented a new machine designed to assist pets. The ORo robot is equipped with a food container to feed animals. It can also play with pets, record health details and capture images and video of animals' daily activities.

　　Body power to charge a phone

　　Sports equipment developer LifeSpan introduced an exercise bicycle/desk combination that uses human power to charge phones or other devices. The Ampera bike is designed to be used with a "standing" desk table. LifeSpan says at a speed of 60 rpms, the bike can produce up to 65 watts of electricity per hour.

　　Streaming from vinyl

　　Record player manufacturer Victrola presented a new turntable model that can send, or stream, music to a sound system or personal device. The Sapphire player targets music lovers who favor vinyl over digital sound. It sells for about $1,500 and will go on sale in the spring.

　　Add walking power

　　South Korea's WIRobotics introduced a wearable robot that provides walking assistance to users. The company's WIM model is designed for anyone who feels the need for an extra "push" when walking. An online description explains the robot can help individuals "walk farther, faster and healthier." The price for such assistance is high, though, with the WIM selling for about $2,500.

　　‘Smart' mirror for better mental health

　　French health product developer Baracoda presented what it described as "the world's first AI-powered smart mirror for mental wellness." The company's BMind model is built to work in any bathroom and does not need a device app to operate.

　　The product was designed to use cameras and sensors to collect data on a person's movements, expressions and language. Creators of the device claim it can identify a user's moods and sense other possible mental health issues. The electronic mirror can then suggest different treatments or activities to help the user, or even guide forms of meditation.

　　Homemade ice cream in 2 minutes

　　The ColdSnap company introduced a machine that can make single servings of ice cream in about two minutes. The machine uses small containers, called pods, just like Keurig coffeemakers. The company points out the pods for its ColdSnap machine can be kept at room temperature, saving energy costs. The machines can be taken anywhere and are simple to operate.

　　Robotic lawnmower

　　Chinese robotics developer Mammotion demonstrated a new version of its self-driving lawnmower. The latest, all-wheel-drive Luba 2 includes new wireless abilities and tools to deal with obstacles in the grass. The robot mower is already available and sells for just over $2,000.

　　2024年1月10日

　　全球最大的科技活动之一，CES，本周在内华达州的拉斯维加斯举行。这个展览会由位于弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的消费技术协会主办。CES展示了来自全球各地公司的最新科技产品。

　　以下是2024年CES展示的一些顶级产品。

　　透明电视

　　电子制造商LG和三星在CES上展示了具有透明屏幕设计的电视。这些电视使用OLED技术。它们设计成在不使用时可以隐藏在房间里。

　　LG家庭娱乐部门的David Park向美联社（AP）描述了OLED是一种“我们可以在任何类型的表面上打印”的材料。在这种情况下，Park说OLED被打印在一块玻璃上。

　　在非透明设置下，电视有传统的黑色背景。展示这些电视的公司没有提供定价信息，但专家表示，透明模型可能会花费数万美元。

　　为现代和起亚汽车的AI

　　韩国的三星宣布，它正在与汽车制造商现代合作，为所有现代和起亚汽车开发“家到车”和“车到家”的服务。

　　这个由人工智能（AI）驱动的系统将允许三星SmartThings服务的用户远程设置他们的车辆温度或打开窗户。并且用户在车内时可以控制灯光并连接到家里的设备。

　　自动泊车机器人

　　韩国电动汽车公司HL Mando展示了一个名为Parkie的停车机器人。它被设计为在停车结构中独立操作。该机器人可以在停放的车辆下面移动，将车辆抬起并将它们运送到不同的空间或将它们返回给驾驶员。

　　机器人宠物保姆

　　机器人开发商Ogmen展示了一台新的设计用来帮助宠物的机器。ORo机器人配备了一个食物容器来喂食动物。它还可以与宠物玩耍，记录健康细节，并捕捉动物日常活动的图像和视频。

　　身体能量充电手机

　　体育器材开发商LifeSpan推出了一款可以利用人力为手机或其他设备充电的运动自行车/办公桌组合。Ampera自行车被设计为配合"立式"办公桌使用。LifeSpan表示，以每分钟60转的速度，自行车每小时可以产生高达65瓦的电力。

　　从黑胶唱片中流出

　　唱片机制造商Victrola推出了一款新的唱机模型，可以将音乐发送或流式传输到音响系统或个人设备。Sapphire唱机针对的是那些喜欢黑胶唱片而不是数字音乐的音乐爱好者。售价约为1500美元，将于春季开始销售。

　　增加步行动力

　　韩国的WIRobotics推出了一款为用户提供步行辅助的可穿戴机器人。该公司的WIM模型适用于任何在步行时感觉需要额外"推动"的人。在线描述解释说，这款机器人可以帮助个人"走得更远，更快，更健康"。然而，这种帮助的价格很高，WIM的售价约为2500美元。

　　用于改善心理健康的"智能"镜子

　　法国健康产品开发商Baracoda展示了它所描述的"世界上第一个用于心理健康的AI驱动的智能镜子"。该公司的BMind模型可以在任何浴室中使用，不需要设备应用程序就可以操作。

　　该产品被设计为使用摄像头和传感器收集关于一个人的动作、表情和语言的数据。设备的创造者声称它可以识别用户的情绪并感知其他可能的心理健康问题。然后，电子镜子可以建议不同的治疗方法或活动来帮助用户，甚至引导冥想的形式。

　　两分钟内自制冰淇淋

　　ColdSnap公司推出了一台可以在大约两分钟内制作单份冰淇淋的机器。这台机器使用小容器，称为pods，就像Keurig咖啡机一样。该公司指出，其ColdSnap机器的pods可以在室温下保存，节省能源成本。这些机器可以随身携带，操作简单。

　　机器人割草机

　　中国机器人开发商Mammotion展示了其自动驾驶割草机的新版本。最新的全轮驱动Luba 2包括新的无线功能和处理草地上障碍物的工具。这款机器人割草机已经上市，售价略高于2000美元。
