Lucyd makes good glasses with built-in audio, and it does a superb job of it. It collaborated with Reebok over good glasses that look just like the Oakley Meta Vanguard.

SwitchBot tends to have attention-grabbing merchandise, and it showcased a number of robots at its sales space. Whereas most robots on the present flooring are typically humanoid, the model went with teddy bear-esque creates that seemed downright cute.
The model even had a robotic that was typically tidying up across the sales space. If somebody from SwitchBot is studying this, I would like two of those, please.
Keychron goes wild with keyboards
