Sony's Surprise EV and Samsung's Ballie Highlight CES 2020
CES 2020 delivers unexpected gadgets, including a Sony electric vehicle and a rolling Samsung companion robot. Quibi also turns heads with a unique video format that shifts between vertical and horizontal views.
CES 2020 delivers several unexpected gadgets that catch attendees off guard. Sony surprises everyone by unveiling the Vision S, an electric vehicle that highlights the company's automotive technology capabilities. Unlike other far-fetched concept cars at the show, Sony's EV looks surprisingly practical and ready for the road.
Samsung introduces Ballie, a small rolling robot designed to win over consumers much like Star Wars' BB-8 droid. The company envisions Ballie serving as a home assistant, fitness coach, and safety monitor, though the device currently does little more than roll around the demonstration floor.
The upcoming streaming service Quibi also makes waves by revealing its killer feature called Turnstyle. This technology allows users to seamlessly switch between vertical and horizontal video orientations without ever seeing black bars on their screens. These surprising innovations easily outshine even the flying cars featured at this year's event.
