303 Sofware's favorite finds from CES 2025
CES 2025 just wrapped, and boy, are our techy hearts still buzzing! This year’s show in Las Vegas was an absolute feast of futuristic awesomeness. From robots with personalities (seriously) to gadgets so smart they might outwit you, CES didn’t disappoint. Let’s explore the standouts that inspired us—and sparked ideas for how we can take tech even further.
Owning a dog who sheds like it’s his full-time job means robot vacuums are non-negotiable. But let’s face it—half the time, they’re stuck under furniture or tangled in shoelaces. Enter the Roborock Saros Z70, equipped with a foldable OmniGrip arm to move obstacles out of its way, so it can clean without interruptions.
This device’s AI-driven navigation and dual cameras aren’t just great for cleaning—they double as a pet cam, too. Need to check on Fluffy while you’re at work? The Saros Z70 has you covered. It’s innovations like this that inspire us as software developers to think about AI applications that make life smarter, simpler, and yes, cleaner.
As developers fascinated by augmented reality’s potential, the Afference Ring has us giddy about the future. This groundbreaking wearable delivers precise haptic feedback brings tactile feedback into the digital realm, makes virtual interactions feel remarkably real—transforming how we engage with AR environments.
Imagine integrating this with an AR app—whether for healthcare, gaming, or industrial training—and giving users the ability to “feel” objects in a digital space. This is the kind of innovation that keeps us thinking about how software can better bridge the gap between physical and digital worlds. AR isn’t just the future; it’s the present, and we’re thrilled to be part of shaping it.
Ever wished your wallet could multitask as much as your phone? Enter the Snap Grip Wallet, a MagSafe marvel. This slim aluminum wallet holds 1 to 8 cards, blocks RFID for security, sticks to your phone like glue, and doubles as a 360° rotating stand.
As developers who design for user convenience, we can’t help but admire how this gadget solves multiple problems elegantly. It’s functional, intuitive, and stylish—qualities we strive to infuse into our custom software solutions. The Snap Grip Wallet is proof that good design is all about making life easier.
The Afeela 1, Sony and Honda’s ambitious EV project, is packed with tech that speaks to our developer hearts. And at a cool $90K, it’s pulling out all the stops. Adorned with monitors in front and back, so everyone can be entertained on those long drives. Want to casually display emojis to the driver tailgating you? Also possible (but maybe not recommended). Inside, Dolby Atmos surround sound turns your music into a concert on wheels, so go ahead, pump up those jams! Plus, the built-in ChatGPT 4o voice assistant is a game-changer—goodbye, shouting “CALL MOM” five times to no avail.
While some critics argue the Afeela may have trouble catching the likes of the Lucid Air, we’re here for its quirky innovation and entertainment-first approach. Want to learn more? Check out Car and Driver’s review
As a Colorado-based company, we’re always on the lookout for ways tech can elevate outdoor adventures. That’s why the Pebble Flow electric camper trailer has our attention. This sleek, futuristic rig is like something out of a sci-fi movie—fully equipped with an electric assist, smart features, and more comfort than most apartments. It’s the perfect mashup of innovation and exploration.
But let’s be real—does rolling into a campsite with this high-tech marvel still count as camping? Honestly, I’m starting to think yes. Who says you have to “rough it” to connect with nature? With Pebble Flow, you can enjoy starry skies and fresh mountain air without sacrificing comfort (or Wi-Fi). Now, if only I could figure out the small matter of funding and a proper tow vehicle… Stay tuned for updates on that!
Have you ever dreamed of owning a shy robot? Me neither. But someone out there clearly has, because Yukai Engineering unveiled the adorably bashful Mirumi at CES 2025—and honestly, it’s weirdly endearing. Picture this: a furry, baby-like robot that doesn’t just sit there. It spontaneously turns its head in multiple ways to express curiosity, and bashfullness. Will Mirumi clean your room or fetch your coffee? Nope.
While I can’t imagine rushing out to grab one, I know my 9-year-old would lose his mind over this life-like plush that bridges the gap between pet and plaything. If sparking joy is Yukai Enginerring’s mission, Mirumi just might have nailed it. Want a closer look? Check out Interesting Engineering’s take or Yanko Design’s review.
Tracking your health data just got a glow-up—literally. With a flood of wearables making it easier than ever to understand your health stats (even when they make you cringe—looking at you, Garmin sleep data), Withings is taking it to the next level with the Omnia Smart Mirror. This UK-based innovation is like having a personal trainer, dietitian, and wellness coach hanging out in your bathroom.
Omnia scans your body and provides a full suite of health insights—body composition, posture, and even cardiovascular metrics—all while you’re brushing your teeth and it even doubles as a telehealth station. It’s the ultimate “know thyself” tool, merging sleek design with cutting-edge health tech. While still in the conceptual stage, it’s clear Withings is pushing boundaries in personal health tracking.
Tired of your partner’s snoring symphony or the neighbor’s late-night karaoke sessions? We get it. Enter Ozlo Sleepbuds, the CES 2025 innovation that promises to turn your nights from restless to rejuvenating. These advanced earbuds create a sound cocoon with top-notch noise-blocking tech, effectively drowning out disruptive noises and wrapping you in a bubble of calm.
Whether you prefer white noise, soothing soundscapes, or complete silence, Ozlo Sleepbuds are designed to deliver a personalized sleep experience. Lightweight and comfortable, they’re the perfect companion for those of us who take our Zzzs seriously—better sleep means more energy for innovation—and we’re all about that.
CES 2025 showcased how technology continues to innovate in ways that enhance daily life. From practical tools like robot vacuums and smart mirrors to boundary-pushing devices in AR and EVs, the event reaffirmed our belief that software and hardware innovation go hand in hand. As a Colorado-based software development company, we’re excited to explore how these trends can inspire the next wave of custom solutions for our clients. Stay tuned as we dig deeper into the quirkiest—and smartest—tech trends of the year!
