2. The Amazon Astro household robot
Amazon’s Astro household robot (starting at $999) was released a few months ago, but the hype surrounding this gadget has not died down.
The robot, which comes equipped with everyone’s favorite A.I. assistant, Alexa, was created to monitor your home when you’re not around.
Astro features “intelligent motion” to navigate around your home, and go where you ask it to.
Your handy home robot will also send you notifications if it detects an unrecognized person or certain sounds when you’re away.
Another plus: You can hook Astro up to your Ring system for more added features.
3. The DJI Mavic 3 drone
If you want a drone but are worried about flying one, then the DJI Mavic 3 drone (starting at $2999) is for you.
The flying robot has a pro-level Hasselblad camera system and is able to sense objects in all directions, preventing collisions (and saving you lots of money).
The Mavic 3 Cine model also features Apple ProRes 422 HQ encoding for premium-quality footage.
4. The HTC VIVE Flow VR Glasses
These light and foldable glasses take VR down from a heavy bulky headset to a compact and portable frame.
The VIVE Flow VR glasses (starting at $499) were made with one goal in mind: To promote wellness and help you find your happy place through mindfulness.
All you have to do to find your center is connect to your phone via Bluetooth and enter your virtual haven.
5. The Capstone Smart Mirror
The Capstone Smart Mirror (starting at $799) will make getting ready in the morning fun.
This gadget lets you check the time, look up directions, play music, and more, all while checking yourself out in the mirror.
You can also search YouTube’s platform directly from the touchscreen display — imagine doing your makeup in the mirror while actually watching the beauty tutorial at the same time.
Furthermore, you can pair your Bluetooth speaker, headphones, or another device to listen to music.
