dear designboom reader,

at CES 2024, transparency emerges as a design trend for electronics. LG and samsung’s displays can vividly project movies on glass, similar to continental’s infotainment screen, made of swarovski crystal, that seemingly floats on the dashboard. home-assistant robots with two legs or a ball-shaped body are present too, peering into a future where electronics control other electronics.

the continuous exploration of AI capabilities is evident, as seen in the showcasing of marc newson-designed binoculars that can identify over 9,000 birds on their own and a walkie-talkie that performs tasks of numerous smartphone apps, including food delivery. don’t forget to check out the return of tactile typing with the blackberry-looking keyboard for iPhone.

thanks for reading!
