The Three Gadgets You Need to Look for at CES

This year, CES has a lot in store for the technology junkies.

The Consumer Electronics Show already is held every year in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is the gathering place for the technology companies from all around the world. At the show, the newest technologies are introduced on the market and trends for the new year concerning technologies are being set. These are the three gadgets you need to look for at CES.

Because people love all the gadgets that are related to fitness, FitBit will launch a device that will come in direct competition with the Apple smartwatch. But CES has something ready in store that is even better. The concept of the ŌURA ring was born during a campaign done by Kickstarter, in August. In only five weeks, approximately 2,400 backed the concept. The ŌURA ring is able to analyze your body and your lifestyle. The information collected by the ring is sent automatically to your smartphone, and includes the levels of each activity and even your sleeping patterns.

The makers of the ŌURA ring promise that the device will guide you towards better performances. The ring analyzes the data it collects and gives you personalized advice. While you sleep, the ring measures the quality of your sleep and how well do you recover from mental and physical tiredness. The ring is extremely comfortable and has an elegant design. It can go for a long time without recharging, and when the battery is empty, the recharging can be done very quickly.

Another device that will be popular at CES this year will be the drone. More than 100 new drones are expected to be launched. But there will be one drone that will stand out from the rest. The Lily drone is waterproof and it follows you around. The camera built in the drone is high definition, with 1080p and is weighs less than three pounds.

This drone doesn’t require a controller and it could be extremely useful, especially when you want to document your adventures. For example, if you are passionate about winter sports like skiing or snowboarding, you can just throw the drone in the air and let it record your great abilities. The only problem is that Lily can’t avoid obstacles yet, like trees or buildings. You can also land it in water, as it has insulated motors. Lily is easy to carry, as it can fit into your backpack and it can handle even strong winds.

You should also give a look to the new R-7 smart glasses, launched by the ODG company. The glasses will provide wireless connection, a built in camera with 1080p and a 3D see through display. The glasses come with a variety of sensors, which include magnetometers, accelerometers and gyroscopes.

The three gadgets you need to look for at CES include the Lily drone, the R-7 smart glasses and the ŌURA ring.

Travis Kvapil Pulls out of Sprint Cup After Car is Stolen

February 27, 2015 By Renee Johnson Leave a Comment

RacecarTravis Kvapil who drives for Team Xtreme Racing was forced to pull out of the Sprint Cup race because his car was stolen from the hotel where he and other team members were staying. The No. 44 Chevrolet race car was to compete in this coming Sunday’s race at Atlanta Motor Speedway but after being taken early in the morning from the Drury Inn the team had no option but to withdraw.

The owner of the team, John Cohen, told reporters that Kvapil will still race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway next weekend. As far as the value of the supped up racecar, Cohen was unsure but according to the official police report, it has a value of $250,000.

Immediately upon finding the racecar was gone, Kvapil and others took to the social media to spread the word. At this point, the only lead law enforcements have is a surveillance tape that shows the unmarked dually trailer with the racecar inside being stolen. The only thing that was already at the racetrack was the hauler that contained all the necessary tools for race.

When asked, Cohen said the only information he has at this point is that someone drove up in a silver colored Jeep. One man exited the Jeep and pulled off with the trailer and car in tow.

Kvapil was trying to qualify for the race on Sunday in the car taken. While at the track, he received a text message from someone on the team advising him there was a problem with the car. He said he really did not give the text much thought and in fact, thought his guys were giving him a hard time. However, he soon received a number of voicemail messages and was told an hour later by his crew chief that the car was gone.

Kvapil stated that when he was told there was something going on with the car, he thought it had to do with NASCAR confiscating it or something technical but once he discovered the truth, he was sick.

Just last week, Team Xtreme qualified to race in the Daytona 500 with driver Reed Sorenson finishing in 32nd place. Because Sorenson was driving for another team this week, Kvapil would have driven the same car that qualified in Daytona.

Because teams had already tested at Atlanta yesterday, all of the other cars were inside the track secured. At the race shop are two Daytona cars, one destroyed during qualifications and run that ran the Daytona 500. The last car getting ready to run in both Atlanta and Las Vegas was the car taken by thieves.

The team had gone back to the track on Wednesday with the hauler in preparation for an incoming storm but the car was not yet ready. Working on the car until about midnight were up to ten crewman who had until 5:00 pm yesterday to get the car prepared. For that reason, the car arrived Thursday night on a smaller trailer.

Kvapil said that there is a lot of money inside the trailer, referring to the racecar, and that for the sake of the owner but everyone associated with Team Xtreme, he hopes it will be found without damage. Without the car, the team faces a major setback.
