At the opening of CES, the tech industry’s premier event in Las Vegas, companies showcased forward-thinking, AI-powered innovations for the home. With over 4,000 exhibitors this year, many demonstrated how common household products can become more connected. Here are some of the notable debuts from CES 2024.
Transparent TVs, long in the realm of prototypes, are hitting shelves later this year. LG unveiled its 77-inch 4K transparent OLED TV, winning a CES 2024 Best of Innovation Award.
