Samsung Family Hub Refrigerator

Our kitchens are getting smarter by the year. This year Samsung introduced its new Family Hub Refrigerator designed to do a whole lot more than just store your food. On the outside of the fridge is a 21.5-inch Android tablet that can display your family’s calendar as well as things like notes and photos. A camera inside the fridge snaps a picture each time you close it, recording what’s inside so you can check in from anywhere and see if you’re out of something. (So, when you do use that last bit of salad dressing, you can also order groceries right from the refrigerator door and have them delivered to your home.) Other features include music streaming through its built-in speakers and the ability to watch TV through screen mirroring with a Samsung Smart TV. Pricing and release date info for the fridge has yet to be announced.

Fisher Price Code-a-Pillar

There’s no denying that learning to code is becoming less of a choice and more of a must. While some elementary and middle schools have started implementing coding classes, Fisher Price introduced a $50 toy this year to targeted towards a much younger demographic: preschoolers. The Code-a-Pillar isn’t going to have your toddler writing iPhone apps, but it will teach her some of the basic ideas behind creating code using its interchangeable parts. That way when she does have that million-dollar idea, she’ll have leg up on learning how to build it.

Oculus Rift


The consumer version of Oculus Rift is finally headed our way. Facebook used CES as an opportunity to announce consumer availability and pricing for the VR headset. Unlike some other virtual reality devices on the market that use smartphones for the display, Rift has its own built-in display designed specifically for VR. The Facebook-owned device has a high refresh rate, allowing users to become fully immersed in the virtual world.  Available now for $599, the headset ships with a sensor for motion tracing as well as an Xbox One controller.
