Las Vegas just hosted its annual tech wonderland – CES 2026 wrapped up this week with mind-blowing gadgets that made us feel like we're living in a sci-fi movie! From AI-powered kitchen bots that meal-prep while you Netflix 🍿 to holographic workout coaches that never get tired, this year's innovations are rewriting the rules of daily life.
CGTN reporter Mark Niu spotted self-healing smartphone screens (goodbye cracked displays! 🔧), solar-powered sneakers that charge your devices on the go ☀️, and even a 'smart mirror' that analyzes your skin microbiome. But the real showstopper? A translation earpiece that converts dog barks into human speech – finally solving the 'Who's a good boy?' mystery 🐶💬.
While some prototypes seemed straight out of Black Mirror (we're side-eyeing the emotion-reading robot barista 🤖☕), most tech focused on sustainability and accessibility. Think: braille-display smartwatches and algae-based phone cases that grow plants. The future's looking bright – and slightly weird!
