The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2022 is underway, kicking off with its ‘Unveiled’ vent on Monday evening that provided a sneak peak into what we can expect to be showcased at the tech conference.
Attendees saw several new technologies including a Star Wars-like face mask that protects against pollution and the coronavirus, a wearable that stops premature ejaculation and a brain scanning device that can detect early signs of mental conditions.
Monday’s event also hosted several innovations that were awarded the CES 2022 Innovation Award, which was given to Kura for its AR glasses and solar shingles that can be nailed directly to the roof.
CES, which is held in Las Vegas, is expected to host more than 50,000 people and 2,200 exhibitors, but is also closing its doors a day early due to coronavirus cases spiking around the US.

Among those showcasing their latest and greatest innovations was Airxom Mask – a mask with a white plastic shell that covers the mouth and nose. And the mask has been said look like something out of Star Wars
Most of the more than 130 exhibitors that presented on Monday were small, up and coming companies, as many of the big powerhouse names in technology pulled out of the in-person attendance because of the pandemic.
The cancelation list includes Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta and TikTok – and many others.
However, the Consumer Technology Associate (CTA) said the show ‘will and must go on.’
Monday’s sneak peak, known as CES Unveiled, was just the tip of the iceberg for what’s to come.
Airxom comes with a battery pack to power the mask, which protects the wearer from pollution, bacteria and can even keep the coronavirus at bay.

And the mask has been said look like something out of Star Wars.
The device is said to protect the wearer from pollution, bacteria and can even keep the coronavirus at bay.
Connected to a belt-worn device, it contains an ‘active’ filter capable of destroying fine particles and pathogens or pollutants.
Also taking the stage was a new sex-tech wearable from Morari Medical called ‘Mor’ that helps eliminate the urge to ejaculate prematurely to improve sexual performance
The patch and companion app are still in the prototype stage
Mor includes a patch that is placed between the scrotum and anus during intercourse and comes with an app that is controlled by the person’s partner
Franck Glaizal, co-founder of Airxom, said in a statement: ‘It’s a fantastic tool to fight the Covid crisis.’
Trong Dai Nguyen, an engineer with the company, said: ‘Traditional masks are not 100 percent airtight, air passes through the sides. Our mask is completely airtight’, said
The current model is due to be released in a few months, for about $340.
‘If you change (surgical) masks every four hours, after three years it is more expensive than our mask,’ Nguyen added.

iMediSync was also present at CES Unveiled, showing off its high-tech brain scanner that completes an analysis in just 10 minutes
Designed as a helmet fitted with EEG sensors, the iSyncWave is powered by AI deep learning algorithms to assess the condition of brain and dysfunctionality including the early diagnostic insights which could play a major role in discovering a neuro-related diseases in early stages
Jeff Bennett, CEO and Founder of Morari Medical, said in a statement: ‘PE [premature ejaculation] is the most common male sexual dysfunction and is experienced by 30 percent of men. Morari Medical is using science and data to address PE and restore confidence in sexual health.
‘It’s our mission to use the latest technology to reframe climax control and serve millions of men to drive pleasure, enhance self-esteem, and live a fulfilled, healthy sexual life.
Still in the prototype stage, Mor includes a patch that is placed between the scrotum and anus during intercourse and comes with an app that is controlled by the person’s partner.
The app lets users increase or reduce how much stimulation is released from the wearable.
Morari Medical plans to launch Mor in 2023, but has not yet announced pricing.

Although these technologies are exciting, others were given this year’s CES Innovation Award, which is a annual competition honoring outstanding design and engineering in consumer technology products. And Kura Technologies was one of these winners for its ‘best performing AR glasses and platform
CEO Dr Seung Wan Kang said in a statement: ‘We will provide life-changing mental healthcare experience to introduce neuro-mental illness biomarker and the patent EEG/HRV technology.
‘iMediSync takes its leap to be a trend leader in the field of telemedicine, and AI medicine, digital therapy will take place in a post-Covid-19 era as an optimized individual mental healthcare service provider.’

And Kura Technologies was one of these winners for its ‘best performing AR glasses and platform.’
AR, or augmented reality, glasses are starting to take the world by storm, as Meta released its pair and Apple is rumored to launch a set of its own.
However, Kura seems to have mastered the designed with its sleek, black frames and clear lenses that makes its Kura Gallium look like a regular pair of reading glasses.
Kura Gallium features a miniature customized full color MicroLED display based on customized full color silicon.
The glasses also include both hardware and software, with SDK and service upgrades for premium users.
The product’s ability to enable a 1:1 virtual to reality ratio allows for a truly immersive experience in a telepresence environment.
This stands to lay the foundation for blending Metaverse content seamlessly into a users’ immediate surroundings.
Another winner of the innovation award is Timberline Solar Energy Shingles from GAF that can be placed on a roof with a simple nail gun for a quick and easy installation.
Another winner of the innovation award is Timberline Solar Energy Shingles from GAF.
Reusable energy is starting to make waves around the world, as many fear climate change is starting to take hold.
Even though the idea of solar panels is not a new technology, the Timberline Solar Energy Shingles can be placed on a roof with a simple nail gun for a quick and easy installation.
Timberline Solar is made shingles instead of the traditional heavy panels
‘These shingles are water-shedding, strong and warranted to withstand winds up to 130 mph,’ GAF shared in a statement.
‘Rack-mounted solar installations—where the solar is separate from the roof–require the drilling of dozens of holes into the roof membrane. Any resulting damage related to those holes is not typically covered by roof warranties.
