Crowds of investors, media and tech workers have streamed into cavernous
The show runs through Sunday. Here are some highlights:
VIDEO CALLS WITH A TWIST
Tired of the same old videoconference calls? Zero Distance thinks it may have the answer.
The company's Wehead device helps people at a meeting feel like a remote attendee is in the room with them.
The device looks something like a machine you might find at the eye doctor, but with screens on the front. The person participating from afar looks like they're there in 3D and when they look around or nod, the machine also moves.
Wehead works with standard computer or smartphone webcams.
“If there are a few people around the table and just one screen, not everybody can see the screen, and the person in the laptop, he or she is not able to see everybody," Wehead creator Ilia Sedoshkin said. “That’s the obvious application.”
“But for people who spend like 40 hours a week in their home office, they don’t see other people a lot. So feeling the real person in the room, using some space on your table, can give you less loneliness," Sedoshkin said.

COLOR-CHANGING CAR
The German car manufacturer's latest concept car can display up to 32 colors and allows drivers to customize their cars digitally.
That’s not the only thing — the mid-size sedan has a voice assistant as well as physical and digital elements that allow the headlights to create facial expression and express moods such as joy, astonishment and approval.

The splashy ride is the next iteration of BMW’s color-changing technology unveiled at last year’s CES, when the company showcased a car that had the ability to change from black to white.
The body of the latest version is divided into 240 segments, all of which the company said can be controlled individually and allow for an endless number of patterns to be generated.
The car will be available in 2025.
A BOBA ROBOT
From milk tea to passion fruit, ADAM the robot can make any boba tea drink you like.
ADAM also can function as a bartender or barista, but it made boba tea for delighted CES attendees who used digital touch screens to select their drinks.
“ADAM is intended to be basically a way to attract guests and a way to make drinks fully automated and very efficient,”
The two-armed robot has two grip handles that can be customized to make specific drinks. While taking a break from mixing beverages, ADAM can dance to keep people entertained.
ADAM, which can be rented for events or hired full-time, is among a range of robots on display at CES this week doing a variety of tasks from disinfecting surfaces to making deliveries.
NUT MILK ON DEMAND
During the pandemic shutdowns in 2020,
Almost three years later, Rapacci is at CES to unveil his nut milk brewing machine, the GrowUp brewer.
With GrowUp, customers can make nut milk at home in minutes with water and their chosen variety, from cashews and walnuts to almonds and pistachios, Rapacci said.

PERFECT EYEBROWS
The company's app scans your face and uses AR to make personalized recommendations for choices of shape, thickness and effect. You apply a primer, then the Brow Magic device uses 2,400 tiny nozzles to brush over and paint your eyebrows.
The makeup in Brow Magic, which is expected to launch later this year, can last up to two days and be taken off with regular makeup remover.
