What This Is
This is an ode to how we perceive and make meaning. Every product at CES promises to change your life, but they all have to reach you somehow, through your senses, your environment, or the invisible systems running in the background.
This map organizes 49 products into 8 categories:
| Sense | Products | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| 👁️ Sight | 10 | Displays, cameras, mirrors, imaging |
| 🔊 Sound | 9 | Speakers, translation, audio AI |
| 🤚 Touch | 8 | Wearables, grooming, haptics |
| 👅 Taste | 6 | Food tech, hydration, kitchen AI |
| 👃 Scent | 1 | Aromatherapy, fragrance |
| 🏠 Space | 2 | Smart homes, transformable environments |
| ⏳ Time | 2 | Sleep, recovery, therapy |
| 🔗 System | 11 | Hubs, robots, connectivity |
