this audience is way better than yesterdays I thank you guys are you guys long I know and fortunately Jeff no Jeff Bakalar were harmed in the making of that last segment we don't know that yet well I'm not sure where I haven't seen him back in the booth yet but fortunately I'm I've got my fingers crossed as you can see we have a guest yeah she just appeared we also 3d printed but you might know her from SourceFed nerd this is the one and only trisha hershberger such a delight this girl she's delightful and one of the things that I always like that we talk about every single year at CES regardless of whether it's on this stage or not it's all the WTF of CES and there is a lot of it at the show so we picked three of our favorites and were going to talk about them Tricia give us a give us a little tour a little taste of what it's like to see the weirdest like most I just don't understand but that okay alright cool i love so much it's my favorite thing about ces every year because i feel like it's those WTF products and those ideas that lead to the next generation of major consumer products like I mean there was someone back in the day who was like a carriage that doesn't need horses to like you know it's the first car and they're like bad we don't need horses for that that's pointless nobody needs that my horse is just fine like there was that person gonna do ya do ya that's poppycock that's probably different for every product there's gonna be the people that say you don't need that or that's too expensive or whatever so I think that the weird stuff is the future of technology i mean everyone at CES always talks about you know the big stuff the tvs the wearables the auto tech but the little startups are where it's at yeah the sea is this is a foundation so yeah and you found no shortage of them this year right there's never a shortage of WTF products here I mean when you walk around especially like if you're at eureka park when you walk around you look at stuff and you're like that's a little strange I don't know what that is and I even saw some of it in central hall this year too okay yeah well the spider dress is over there we had it here on skating yesterday amazing we had it here on stage and it almost poked out kills I several times several sizes I told him over and over again not to touch the model and he wanted to just get a little close don't touch the yeah yeah sure dress sure the dress yeah you got a little invasive that can happen I was approxn to that yeah doesn't like that but very cool 3d printed and it reacts to the user so very cool yeah I was looking in the future like you said it's yeah that could be the future I mean it reminds me of in school we used to get these like I went to an all-girls schools we used to got leaves like self protection and date rape assemblies and stuff and I'm like who needs that information now you could just wear spider dress to point out your dress pretty good um so the other so one of the other things that you mentioned was that you saw that you thought was super weird was the 10s fork and knife oh yeah previously known as the happy for okay for ya now it's got a little matching knife friend so tell okay so you have to explain this a little bit to me because I know before it was like when you it would it wants you i believe it's like it wants you to lift your food and eat it every 10 seconds yeah well it wants you to be at least 10 seconds or slower okay so the idea is that you're not shoveling lettuce in your face like we were talking about during the break fun conversations that happen when the cameras are off no it wants you to wait 10 seconds between every bite but the first generation of it would actually register as a bite when you stabbed food too if you're like a violent you don't really get I was doing it I was doing it one alligator two I like that yeah we have to mouse the number it's really it's rough that's a long time advised RV again it vibrates and lights up and the idea is that before you eat every meal you press the button to activate it and and then you do your 10 second bites and now it's paired with the fork so now you can get the 10s for or I'm sorry the knife so now you can get the 10s fork and knife set does it make what why is it nice though because you're not raising that to your mouth so is it like you saw your food in half for 10 seconds looks like this way if you stab and the knife is down there it doesn't recognize the stab as a bite so it's more accurate now a little bit more fancy it's I guess it's been on sale in Europe but there planning on bringing it to the states and it's just hilarious to me it makes the weird product list for me because who brings the same utensils around with them all day like our is it in your purse why is it in your pocket are there are their sanitation wipes for after every meal so you can put it back and save it for later guys I've got a fork so when I use this you would you find yourself sorry I mean I guess if I really was concerned with my nutrition intake um somebody you know so go with no yeah not carrying that around or fork and knife I mean I might just go old fashioned and one alligator two alligator three alligator it but like I said there's the people that were like I'm old-fashioned I'm gonna go with the horse and buggy and you reject the car you know what I'm in for the happy spork oh that gonna happen I need that next year um okay so do it right on your welcome Internet you're welcome startups so last thing that you wanted to talk about is the log bar ring which I haven't even heard of really I know that are I believe CNN espanol got to go see it okay but you please explain to me what the log bar ring is ok so the la guerre ring was a very successful crowdfunding project raised over 800 thousand dollars a lot of money and it's a ring that you put on that enables you to control your surroundings via gesture really neat idea so we think of the idea and we're like I'm going to turn off all these studio lights and they just turn off good very very cool idea you know um but in practice at least right now and this is the product second generation that's being shown at CES this year it's still very big and bulky and so I don't know how many people can legitimately rock that unless you have like right now and that is a pool key ring ibuki so it's like that wouldn't really work for it looks like almost like a broke three of them right there you're very fragile my she hulk strength what are some of the things that they showed off that they bragged about it being able to do specifically specifically they talk about turning off and on lights with gesture and it's it's linked to an app so that you can plan what jesters you like so you can make up whatever adjuster you want to do whatever thing in your house that you want you could turn off and on appliances off and on lights just interact with your surroundings and now they have a ring hub that they sell as well so you don't need to buy special lights or special appliances it sends it out via infrared do you think that I would be able to at some point the future be able to shut off with a way of kales bad puns may be unstoppable maybe runs on nuclear power I think I shut it off right yeah it's not going to but yes so that the ring itself you press a button you make a gesture and it's a lil you'll see a little crystal on the side of the ring press press a button make a gesture and it does its thing um but to me I think how hard of a gesture is it to walk over to the wall and just flip the light switch I think that's my heart thing about what my agent it's Wally we're going back to the wall e generation you just all sit in the chair just a cop guys it's gonna happen medic I was playing xbox and I could like restart my dryer load by you know playing my game and just doing like BAM and it did it that means dryer wave your hand it has all my dears to be like this yeah this one justify everything so like doing wrong stuff going off at ulta xbox turn off no amazing but yeah the the product is actually better now than it was before before it was made out of zinc so it's actually interfering with its own communication no longer okay no longer all right well so okay so that's the WTF stuff that we've seen at the show that especially Tricia she's she is you want to ask anybody about it trisha hershberger source race is your go-to source of WTF at CES um we're gonna go into thank you so much for coming on the show you're going to stick
