CES消费电子展上从来不缺古怪玩意儿。今年的展会上既有虚拟现实耳机和4K高清电视机等万众瞩目的产品，也有不少令人脑洞大开的小设备。

    这些小物件的销量或许永远也不会太高，有的甚至都不会量产，但它们往往是参会者们津津乐道的谈资，这或许仅仅是因为它们实在太古怪了。

    过去几年里，智能叉子、智能马桶等小物件也一度引起不少关注，以下是今年CES消费电子展上最奇特的几样东西，肯定让你大开眼界。

    There’s never a shortage of unusual gadgets at CES. But while items like virtual reality headsets and 4K/Ultra High Definition television sets capture the spotlight, there are just as many oddball items as well.

    These gadgets may never be a big sales success – and may not even reach store shelves – but they’re often the talk of show attendees, if only because they’re so bizarrely curious.

    In years past, items like the SmartFork and iPotty turned heads. Here’s this year’s crop of CES strangeness.

    1. 智能腰带

    CES上有不少可穿戴设备能追踪你的健康状况和体重，不过再没有第二款产品像Belty这样独特了。这款智能腰带由巴黎一家名叫Emiota的创业公司推出，尽管长得很丑，但它可以通过你的站姿或坐姿自动调整松紧。另外，如果Belty认为你最近变懒了，它还会向你的手机发送一条提醒消息。它将来会不会正式上市？谁知道呢。但它绝对是CES上最奇怪的小物件之一，但同时也是被谈论最多的产品之一。

    1. Emiota Belty

    There are plenty of gadgets at CES to help you track your fitness – and weight – but arguably none as unusual as Belty. This prototype motorized “smart belt” from Paris-based startup Emiota isn’t just ugly – and it’s certainly ugly – it also constricts and relaxes itself based on whether you’re sitting or standing. It will even send a warning to your smartphone when it thinks you’re getting lazy. Will it actually make it out of prototype? Who knows? But it’s certainly the strangest thing at CES – and one of the most talked-about items as well.

    2. 联网牙刷

    自从电动牙刷于1954年问世以来，刷牙已经渐渐成为一件颇具科技含量的事情。但这款能自动记录刷牙行为，配备蓝牙4.0功能的Oral-B智能牙刷，无疑又把刷牙的科技含量再提高了一层。你可以把牙刷记录下的数据做成图表，或者拿给你的牙医看。它还能告诉你是否你刷得太用力了，或者你刷牙的时间是否足够长。Oral-B智能牙刷还可以持续记录你的刷牙习惯，如果你有所改善，它还会鼓励你一番呢。

    2. Oral-B Connected Toothbrush

    Brushing your teeth has slowly become more of a high tech affair since the invention of the electric toothbrush in 1954. But Oral-B is taking things to the next level with this Bluetooth 4.0-equipped brush that records your brushing activity - letting you chart it yourself or share it with your dentist. It will even tell you if you’re brushing too hard and when you’ve brushed long enough. And it keeps track of your brushing habits, encouraging you if they improve.

    3. APP增强版小黄鸭

    小黄鸭大概是孩子们洗澡时最喜欢的玩具了，但pi labs公司认为它还有改进的空间。每天晚上，这款“APP增强版小黄鸭”可以从洗澡时间到睡觉时间一直陪伴你的孩子，这只小黄鸭还是一个防水扬声器，同时它对温度很敏感，可以提醒父母洗澡水是否太烫了。

    3. Edwin the Duck

    The rubber duck may be a bath time favorite for young kids, but pi labs thinks there's room to improve on the classic. This waterfowl is app-enhanced and meant to stay with your child from bath time through story time, and then be tucked in with him or her at bedtime. He's also a waterproof speaker and, in a novel twist, is temperature sensitive, alerting parents if the bath water is too hot.

    4. 智能奶嘴

    BlueMaestro公司最近推出了一款能够连接蓝牙的奶嘴，这再次证明如今几乎任何东西都可以成为物联网的一部分。虽然智能奶嘴这个概念听起来很奇怪，但它其实还是很有卖点的。它不光是一个奶嘴，还是一个体温计，可以把婴儿的体温发送到父母的手机上，它甚至可以判断出你的孩子是否感冒了。奶嘴丢了，惹得孩子大声啼哭怎么办？没关系，它有一个蜂鸣功能，可以帮助你快速定位。

    4. Pacifi Smart Pacifier

    Proving that just about everything is part of the Internet of Things these days, BlueMaestro has come up with pacifier that's Bluetooth-enabled. As odd as it sounds, though, there's actually a viable upside to this one. The pacifier doubles as a thermometer -- and broadcasts the child's temperature to the parent's smartphone, even tracking it if the little one has a cold. Lose the passy and your kid's having a meltdown? It also has a buzzer alarm to help you quickly locate it.

    5. 心情控制器

    可穿戴设备的功能目前还主要局限在健身上。在苹果手表的带领下，可穿戴设备的下一个应用领域可能是移动支付。但Thync却开辟了一条不同的道路，该公司推出的可穿戴设备据说能改变你的心情。Thync的发明者们表示，通过发射瞄准特定神经回路的波形，它能令你进入活力四射、放松或是专心的状态（该公司成立后已经获得了1300万美元的风险投资）。

    5. Thync

    Wearable devices have so far been focused on tracking fitness activities. And the next frontier, led by the Apple Watch, seems to be using them as mobile payment devices. Thync explores a different path, though, with a wearable device that's designed to change your mood. Using waveforms that target specific neural pathways, you'll be able to enter an energized, relaxed or focused state, say Thync's creators (who have raised $13 million in venture capital funding since launch.)

    6. 火箭滑板鞋

    你家孩子的滑板鞋再闪亮，也没有这玩意高大上。Rocketskates的独特之处在于它在每只滑板鞋上都安装了一个马达，可以让你达到每小时10英里（约16公里）的速度。把它安装在你现有的鞋子上，你也可以每小时滑行10英里，另外你还能用手机记录你的滑行路线。当然，穿着它们走来走去可能会略显尴尬，不过如果有哪个坏家伙突然出现在你面前，想给你难堪的话，你可以在一溜烟工夫，消失得无影无踪。

    6. Rocketskates

    Your kid's heelies have nothing on these. Rocketskates are equipped with a pair of motors on each skate, letting you reach speeds of 10 miles per hour. Strap 'em onto your existing footwear and your can zip as far as 10 miles, keeping track of your route through your smartphone (of course). Yeah, you'll look all kinds of awkward when you're walking around in 'em, but if someone gives you a hard time, you can quickly zoom away.

    7. 智能花盆

    以生产深受发烧友喜爱的遥控飞机起家的Parrot公司现在又要进军园艺界了。Parrot Pot智能花盆可以装两升水和两升土。每过15分钟，该花盆就会自动测量土壤湿度，以及周围的温度和光照水平。这些数据会让你迅速地知道该给花浇多少水。花盆里的水量不够时，你的手机就会收到提示信息。

    7. Parrot Pot

    The company that helped make drones popular among enthusiasts wants to give you a green thumb. The Parrot Pot is, well, a pot for your houseplants that holds two liters of water and two liters of soil. Every 15 minutes, the pot will measure the soil moisture, along with the ambient temperature and light level. A quick analysis of that data lets it know how much, if any, to water your plant. And when the water in the storage unit runs low, you’ll get a warning on your cell phone.

    8. 智能奶瓶托

    Slow Control公司经常登上CES古怪产品排行榜。两年前该公司推出一款智能叉子，今年，它又带着一款智能奶瓶托强势重返CES。你只需要把任何一个奶瓶插进去，它就会通过一款手机应用告诉你，你的宝贝儿喝了多少奶。（它还能告诉你以什么角度给孩子喂奶可以避免孩子吸入空气，另外当奶瓶堵住的时候，它也会向你报警。）该设备将于今年夏天正式上市，售价大约100美元左右——或者你也可以直接看一眼奶瓶，就能知道娃喝了多少——但这样一来，给孩子喂奶还有什么乐趣呢？

    8. Baby GiGL

    Slow Control is a regular on the “Weird CES” list. Two years ago, it introduced the SmartFork – and this year, it’s back with a smart baby bottle monitor. Just put any bottle into the sleeve and, working in conjunction with an app, it will let you know how much your child has consumed. (It also offers feedback on holding the bottle at an angle to prevent the child from consuming air and alerts when there’s a blockage.) The device will go on sale this summer for about $100 – or you could just look at the bottle and figure out how much junior has consumed. But where’s the fun in that?

    9. 智能冰箱

    Coolest冰箱在众筹网站Kickstarter上成功融资1300万美元，充分说明多功能冰箱还是有很大市场的。Kube也想借机沾光，但可能已经慢了一拍。Kube是一款防水冰箱，同时具有蓝牙扬声器系统。但和Coolest的299美元预计零售价不同，Kube（功能比前者更少）的售价高达1099美元。它将于今年夏天上市。

    9. Kube

    When the Coolest cooler collected over $13 million on Kickstarter, it showed there was tremendous demand for coolers that did more than keep drinks cold. The Kube seems to be riding on those coattails, but may have missed a beat. It’s a waterproof cooler and a bluetooth speaker system, but instead of expected $299 retail price of the Coolest, the Kube (which boasts fewer features) will cost an eye-popping $1,099 when it goes on sale this summer.

    10. 智能电池

    古怪并不总是代表没用。Roost电池主要用于烟雾探测器等人们通常不会频繁检查的设备。它的特点是能够通过Wi-Fi联网，如果你不在家时烟雾报警器响了，或是电池快要没电了，它就会自动向你的手机发送消息。这款电池将于今年夏天上市。（财富中文网）

    10. Roost Smart Battery

    Weird doesn’t always mean useless. Roost batteries are designed for items like smoke detectors – which often are low on people’s priority list for checking. The wi-fi enabled batteries fire off a notification to your smart phone if the smoke alarm goes off when you’re away and alert you if they’re close to losing their charge. They’re due this summer.
