智能体重计
咋一看，Withings Health Mate和其它浴室磅秤好像没什么两样。但当你站上去的时候，它不仅显示体重、身体质量指数和身体脂肪数值，而且还显示心率。这些数值可以通过内置互联网连接发送到一个移动设备上面。可以把测量结果存储起来，然后可以通过Twitter或Facebook与医师、营养师、支持团队或激励团队分享。
该公司把这款体重计称为“智能身体分析仪”，也可以通过测量温度与二氧化碳来监测空气质量。该公司表示，由于不利健康的二氧化碳浓度可以影响睡眠，所以监测与管理室内空气质量非常重要。

CES slideshow: Gadgets galore at opener
A trend at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show is the proliferation of devices using wireless and sensors while leveraging apps running on smartphones and tablets. Here are some examples.
LAS VEGAS – The Consumer Electronics show curtain raiser, dubbed "CES Unveiled," offered a glimpse of consumer market trends and how small and mid-sized companies are leveraging emerging technologies to create variations on existing products.
One unmistakable trend here is the proliferation of devices using wireless (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) and sensors, along with gadgets designed to work with apps running on smartphones and tablets.
In the pages that follow, we highlight some of the latest devices that just might catch on with consumers in 2013.
A stylish stylus
Dexim Santom USA showed several products, including the "Music Talking Stylus" designed for use with iPhones and iPads. Besides serving as a touch-screen stylus, the pen communicates via Bluetooth to your smartphone and tablet, allowing users to wirelessly listen to both music and phone messages. The stylus comes with a built-in volume button.
Mobile power
Lilliputian Systems Inc. introduced a mobile power system at CES called Nectar, a charging device that leverages MEMS solid fuel cell technology.
Nectar's butane fuel and high-efficiency solid oxide fuel cells provide high energy density. Butane is stored in a pod cartridge (left), then inserted into the mobile power system. Capable of powering consumer devices for more than two weeks, the system charges smartphones, eReaders and digital cameras that comply with USB 2.0.
According to the company, aviation regulators will allow Nectar to be stowed in carry-on bags.
Personal weather station
The French company Netatmo showed off what it calls “the first weather station with air quality sensors.” Indoor and outdoor modules (shown left, rear) monitor air quality. Each module, consisting of sensors for temperature, humidity, barometer, CO2 and sound, sends alerts to iPhones and iPads via Wi-Fi.
Ever feel strangled by your headphone cord?
Sometimes the simplest gadgets are the most appealing. Jeremy Wieand demonstrates the CordCruncher Headphone, a set of ear buds with an elastic cord that retracts into a sheath that can be wrapped around the user’s wrist.
Wi-Fi-equipped full-HD cameras
Liquid Image unveiled its small, aptly-named "Ego" mountable cameras, intended for use in sports like motocross and skiing along with automotive apps. Mount one on the windshield and in the rear window and you’ll have a video record of your every accident! The Ego (left) goes for $179, the Ego mini for $199 (cheaper than most insurance claims).
Your body is sending you messages...
...and now you can finally receive them on your iPod, iPhone or iPad with Masimo’s Pulse Oximeter. Intended for “sports and aviation use only” (in other words, this isn’t a medical device), it tracks pulse rate and low blood flow through a finger-attached sensor and transmits a running record to the device screen. Above, Masimo’s Max Safai demonstrates the oximeter during CES Unveiled.
Party in a box
Soul Electronics rolled out its “Party in a box” at CES. For $999, you get a boom box, iPad dock, public address system and Karaoke equipment all rolled into one device. The company claims that its 8-speaker omnidirectional hybrid system can fill the room with deep bass while wireless technology allows music streaming via Bluetooth. It’s designed for the home, beach, tailgating, school PA systems and club DJs.
AttackMo combat robots
Battling robots were an object of fascination at CES Unveiled. U.K.-based Wow!Stuff demonstrated robots that launched missiles and fought each other on contact. Company rep Linda Krebs (right) demonstrates the robots for gadgets geeks..
Multi-room audio with wireless speakers
PURE, which initially built its reputation by developing Internet radio, has added wireless Hi-Fi adapters to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (shown, front) along with wireless speakers. Plug in the Hi-Fi adapter and the company claims you can transform an existing Hi-Fi system into a multi-room audio system.
PURE also introduced portable wireless speakers (shown, rear) with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. The wireless speaker offers 360-degree sound (mono and stereo). Wi-Fi can be used to stream synchronized audio to multiple wireless speakers in and outside the home.
Sporty ear buds
Yurbuds, a company known for sports ear buds designed to stay in place, launch high-end ear buds at CES that offer both "ambient aware" and "noise isolation" features in one unit for $99. Yurbuds claims that ear buds offer significantly better sound through the company’s proprietary "triple magnet" technology. Serving as the source of power, the magnets create greater control over drivers for speaker diaphragms. The water-resistant sports ear buds operate for up to five hours.
'Smart body' scale
At first glance, the Withings Health Mate looks like any other bathroom scale. When you step on the scale, however, it provides not only weight, body mass index and body fat readings but also heart rate. Readings are transmitted to a mobile application via a built-in Internet connection. Results are stored and can be shared with a physician, dietician, support group or motivational team via Twitter or Facebook.
The scale, which the company calls a "smart body analyzer," also monitors air quality through temperature and carbon dioxide metering. Withings said monitoring and managing indoor air quality is important since unhealthy levels of CO2 can affect sleep.
Remember when a drone was just a sexless bee?
The French company Parrot drew throngs at CES Unveiled with its demonstration of its version of a "personal drone" with cameras that can cover miles of territory and literally follow spouses wherever they go. Parrot’s Yoni Benatar speaks with a video crew while Parrot's AR.Drone 2.0 hovers in the foreground.
