AKIKO FUJITA: Yahoo Finance is on the ground here in Las Vegas at CES 2024. We've had a chance to spend all week walking the floor here. So take a look at some of the most entertaining gadgets. Take a look.
Hello. Nice to meet you.
- Hello. Nice to meet you too.
AKIKO FUJITA: Ready? How's my form. Fourth time, here we go.
- Yeah.
AKIKO FUJITA: Yay.
We are in front of the [? Pass ?] XR booth. You see, this guy is inside virtual reality. It allows users to build all the tools to create music in virtual reality. I mean, this guy's got it going. I'm going to give it a shot. All right, here we go.
- All right, here we go. Yeah.
AKIKO FUJITA: OK, now we've got multiple layers of beats going.
We are at the booth for Baracoda. It's a French health tech company that's developed this mirror. It's an interactive mirror that uses artificial intelligence.
- How's your day been so far?
AKIKO FUJITA: My day has not been great.
- Just like a rainy day makes way for sunshine, your mood can improve.
AKIKO FUJITA: I'm at the booth for Doosan Group, where this AI robot is about to make me a cocktail.
- So this is Mixmaster Moodie, our cocktail bartender.
AKIKO FUJITA: Mixmaster Moodie.
- Yeah, it's going to tell you what kind of cocktail you need based upon your mood and facial recognition.
AKIKO FUJITA: I look that way?
- Yep, you're going to look up there.
AKIKO FUJITA: Cheers. It's like pineapple. What else is in it? Do we know?
- ChatGPT secret.
AKIKO FUJITA: ChatGPT secret, I'm told.
I feel like I'm getting judged on my driving skills. I am. Press green?
- Yeah.
AKIKO FUJITA: Oh. Oh my-- oh my god, oh.
Are you horrified, Rich?
- [INAUDIBLE]
AKIKO FUJITA: I'm here with Devon Goldberg. He is a staff engineer at Goodyear. He's going to walk me through this simulation.
DEVON GOLDBERG: We're going to show you a braking distance demo. So we're going to start you off with the ABS tuned to thinking that it's a new tire, but you actually have a worn tire on the road. All right, and brake.
AKIKO FUJITA: Oh my god, did I just hit that deer?
DEVON GOLDBERG: Well, you might have.
- This is the future of the toilet. As you saw, it automatically opens as you walk up to it. It's going to close and flush behind it. The black-on-black version will run the retail around $10,500.
[CHA-CHING]
[FLUSH]
AKIKO FUJITA: So this is just concept, but somebody's got to spend a lot of time in the bathroom, right--
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
AKIKO FUJITA: --to really appreciate these toilets.
- This is the center stone of your bathroom. This is the showpiece.
AKIKO FUJITA: Oh, wow. Look at this. I feel like I'm in first class. It's just what I need right now. I'm ticklish.
Oh my god, 13 more minutes, 19 minutes left. Oh my god, this is really intense.
