CES 2026: My top 5 picks!

#ces #ces2026 #techtrends | Jigyasa Grover

CES 2026 just wrapped up ... and I can't stop thinking about how the timeline between "impossible" →← "shipping next quarter" is just collapsing! Here are the top 5 things that caught my fancy 🤩 • the LEGO Group bricks that react to how you play with them. Chips smaller than a stud + built-in sensors. Swing a lightsaber & it hums in real-time. No app, no screen. Just intelligent physical play. • Paper batteries already in production w Logitech & Amazon. Biodegradable, non-flammable batteries + zero lithium. If this scales, we're watching a supply chain get rewritten in real time. • Robot vacuum climbing stairs. Roborock's Saros Rover deployed wheel-legs & hopped up 5 steps in 40s while vacuuming each one. The impossible will just become mundane. • Your car's windshield is about to replace the dashboard. BMW Group's full-AR HUD projects navigation exactly where you need it on the road ahead. Not on a screen. On reality. • Your bathroom mirror will diagnose you. Smart mirrors, needle-free injections & ambient health tracking that catches illness before symptoms appear. Healthcare is shifting from reactive to invisible. The pattern? Companies that treated AI as a feature to bolt on are getting lapped by companies rebuilding products, assuming AI exists from day 1. The gap isn't closing. It's accelerating ⚡️ #CES #CES2026 #TechTrends

The pattern? Companies that treated AI as a feature to bolt on are getting lapped by companies rebuilding products, assuming AI exists from day 1.

The gap isn't closing. It's accelerating ⚡️
