USA CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW CES2013 [THE WIERD&THE AMAZING]

TRANSPARENT 3D TV FROM HiSENSE
Chinese electronics firm HiSense is occupying the space at CES normally reserved for Microsoft.
The company is making the most of the Windows-maker's absence by displaying its wares - including this transparent 3D television.
The company says it could potentially be used by museums and other attractions to create exciting displays that combine real objects - such as artefacts - with 3D imaging.
Hisense spokesman Payton Tyrell said the screen was still a prototype.

THE TABLET THAT TURNS ITSELF 'LUMPY'

When you can't feel individual keys on a touchscreen device it can be hard to type at speed.
That is why Tactus, a company based in California, has developed technology which can turn a typical flat tablet screen into a real keyboard with bumpy buttons.
The keyboard rises from the tablet when needed, before disappearing when the typing is done.
Micah Yairi from Tactus explained how it works.

STICK-ON Dj DECKS FOR iPADS

Ion Audio's Winston Eade shows off 'Scratch to go', an array of stick-on accessories to turn an iPad into a set of DJ turntables.
The specially built app transmits the mixes to the Party Rocker, an amplifier with a built-in light show

iPotty FOR iPads

If you want to teach your child how to use the toilet and you happen to have an Apple iPad lying around, or don't mind buying a new one, then the iPotty for iPad delivered by CTA Digital might be just the thing for your tyke's toilet-duty training.

The portable potty comes with a splash-guard that covers the fruit logo-branded device and one for the potty itself, just in case any youngster decides to test the iPad's water-resistance (which obviously it does not have) or rebels against the proper seating position.

That said, parents are looking at quite an expensive plastic toilet. The iPad 2 starts at $399, while the iPad 4 runs for $499. Don't forget to use the splash-guard before letting the toddler take it for a spin!
