You won’t believe these 4 weird gadgets that were found at CES 2016

Every year thousands of people visit Las Vegas to see some 3800 exhibitors, displaying thousands and thousands of gadgets and toys. Sometimes you get a glimpse of a life-changing device and sometimes you get to see a mad scientist’s invention that is just plain strange.

Here are four of the weirdest gadgets that were on display at CES 2016.

Samsung Family Hub Fridge

Yes, Samsung thought it was necessary to attach a 21.5” display onto a fridge. Not only does it allow you to browse and message, but it also has sensors to tell you if food has spoiled and automatically replenish low supplies. It also has cameras to make it possible to see what you have inside without even opening the door. If you fridge is usually bare, with a few take-away containers and one half empty bottle of tomato sauce then you should probably give this one a skip.

Video Games for your Dog

The Company CleverPet have created a “game console” that uses WiFi and LEDs to feed your dog. So basically, it’s like playing Simon Says with an animal that would just really like to eat his food and then go take a nap. Sounds great, right? Building a game console for dogs is definitely easier then selling a game console for dogs.

Parrot Pot

This year, the French company, Parrot unveiled Parrot Pot – a pot that measures soil moisture, ambient temperature, and light level every 15 minutes. It features a 2.2litre water tank that irrigates your plants automatically, using hydration info from a database of 8000 plants. This odd gadget doesn’t zoom in the air and do anything that amazing, but if you lack a green thumb it will keep your plants alive with zero effort.

Intel’s Segway Robot

A friendly looking robot that can’t accomplish much else, but ride you around your house or up the street. Apparently it can pick up certain things and answer the door, but that’s not really amazing. Until this robot can make a cheeseburger or a grilled cheese, its best to just stick with a regular Segway that doesn’t have a pair of goofy eyes.

With so many different gadgets on display at CES, it is easy to miss something along the way, however these weird things are hard to miss.
