Weirdest Gadgets at CES 2026: From Holograms to Musical Lollipops
Discover the weirdest gadgets at CES 2026, including Razer's holographic AI, an ultrasonic chef's knife, and bone conduction lollipops playing Ice Spice.
While tech giants dominate the headlines at CES 2026, the real excitement often lies in the quirky, unexpected gadgets that make you ask, "Who thought of this?" From Razer's holographic anime assistant to AI-powered pandas, we've rounded up the wildly imaginative products that stole the spotlight this year.
The Weirdest Gadgets at CES 2026: AI Companions and Robots
Gaming lifestyle brand Razer unveiled Project AVA, a 5.5-inch holographic desk companion. Evolved from an esports AI coach, AVA assists with gaming strategies, productivity, and even personal advice. Users can choose digital avatars like the anime girl Kira, who features lifelike eye-tracking and lip-syncing. However, it's worth noting the device uses a built-in camera to monitor your screen—a feature some might find a bit unsettling.
Meanwhile, Mind with Heart Robotics introduced An’An, a cuddly AI baby panda designed for elderly care. Packed with sensors, An'An reacts naturally to touch and uses emotional AI to remember the user's voice and preferences. Beyond providing 24/7 emotional support, it helps seniors with memory retention and keeps caregivers informed about their well-being.
Upgrading Daily Life with High-Tech Tools
Smart home brand GoveeLife showcased the Smart Nugget Ice Maker Pro, an AI-driven appliance priced at $499.99. It features AI NoiseGuard technology that detects potential freezing issues and defrosts automatically to keep operations silent. It can produce fresh ice in just 6 minutes and churn out up to 60 pounds per day.
For the kitchen, Seattle Ultrasonics introduced an ultrasonic chef’s knife. The blade vibrates at 30,000 times per second, allowing it to glide through tough foods with minimal effort. Priced at $399, the company claims the vibrations are so subtle that they are imperceptible to the touch or ear.
Bone Conduction Meets Candy
Perhaps the most "CES-style" gadget is from Lollipop Star. Their musical lollipop uses bone conduction technology to play tracks like Ice Spice's peach-flavored hits directly into your inner ear while you enjoy the treat.
