Every January, Las Vegas turns into a tech haven, and this year’s Consumer Electronics Show leaned fully into big ideas, strange genius, and tech that feels suspiciously close to sci-fi. CES 2026 and the innovative launches therein pushed us to shift how we see, play, groom, move, and even exist alongside machines. From wearable screens to robots with real jobs lined up, here are the launches everyone was talking about, and a few we’re still thinking about.
ASUS X XREAL ROG XREAL R1 GAMING GLASSES
These gaming glasses ditch the idea of a physical monitor entirely. Slip them on and you’re suddenly staring at a massive virtual screen that refreshes at a gamer-approved 240Hz. Built for travel, consoles, and PCs alike, they come with a clever control dock and adjustable tint lenses so you can game anywhere without squinting at a handheld. Portable, fast, and unapologetically flashy, they make hotel-room gaming setups feel deeply outdated.
DREAME LEAPTIC CUBE ACTION CAMERA
Small cube, big ambitions. This modular action cam shoots up to 8K, packs AI-powered stabilization, and promises marathon battery life that puts most compact cameras to shame. Designed to snap into different attachments, it feels built for creators who want flexibility without lugging gear. The kind of camera you throw into a bag and figure out what to shoot later.
NURALOGIX LONGEVITY MIRROR
This mirror does more than reflect your outfit. Using facial blood-flow analysis and AI, it reads health metrics like heart rate, blood pressure, and biological age without wearables. It’s sleek and firmly aimed at people who treat wellness like a long-term strategy. Think less vanity mirror, more daily health briefing.
L’ORÉAL LIGHT STRAIGHT + MULTI-STYLER
Hair tech had a quiet power moment at CES. L’Oréal’s infrared-powered straightener works at significantly lower heat while delivering smoother results faster. The science is serious, but the takeaway is simple: less damage, more shine, and styling that feels smarter, not harsher. Beauty tools are officially entering their soft-power era.
SKWHEEL PEAK S ELECTRIC SKIS
Electric skis that let you carve across concrete, grass, or sand. Yes, really. Designed to mimic the sensation of skiing without snow, they look wild, feel wilder, and blur the line between sport and spectacle. Practical? Debatable. Fun? Absolutely.
IPOLISH DIGITAL COLOR-CHANGING NAILS
Press-on nails that change color in seconds via a small electric wand and app. Each nail can cycle through hundreds of shades, making outfit coordination dangerously easy. It’s beauty tech with a playful streak, and one of CES’s most unexpectedly addictive demos.
LENOVO THINKPAD ROLLABLE XD
A laptop that literally grows when you need more screen. Lenovo’s rollable display extends upward, transforming a compact notebook into a taller workspace in seconds. It feels like a design flex, but one with real-world usefulness for multitaskers who refuse to live in split-screen purgatory.
BOSTON DYNAMICS ATLAS HUMANOID ROBOT
Atlas wasn’t there to entertain. This fully electric humanoid robot is heading straight into factories, trained for heavy lifting, material handling, and autonomous work. With partnerships already lined up and production underway, Atlas marks a shift from viral robot videos to robots that clock in and get things done.
LEPRO AMI DESKTOP AI COMPANION
A curved OLED display, real-time eye tracking, and an AI designed to feel present rather than pushy. Lepro Ami sits on your desk like a quiet character in your space, responding to mood, movement, and environment. Less assistant, more digital roommate with boundaries and visible privacy controls.
The takeaway? CES 2026 offered a glimpse on how technology will fit into our lives in the future. Screens disappeared into glasses, beauty tools got smarter, AI learned to be subtle, and robots stopped auditioning and started working.
