Yes, it really is a TV in a suitcase. No, we’re not sure why (Picture Rob Waugh)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
One of the stranger ideas on display was a TV inside a suitcase from Korean electronics giant LG.<\/p>\n
The StanbyME Go costs $1,000, has a 27-inch screen, and can be swivelled round to any angle.<\/p>\n
The TV weighs around 30lb, and has a 1080p LCD screen plus HDMI input to connect video players or games consoles.<\/p>\n
The television has a built-in battery which lasts for three hours, so you can use it in the car or outdoors.<\/p>\n
It comes with streaming apps including Disney+, Netflix and Apple TV preloaded.<\/p>\n
A vest that makes you \u2018feel\u2019 bullet impacts in games<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nBilled as a \u2018combat training simulator system\u2019, Korean company Epin\u2019s \u2018metaverse\u2019 shooter comes with a vest which makes you \u2018feel\u2019 bullet impacts.<\/p>\n
You aim your rifle at the screen (moving it sideways to look around) and when the enemies hit you, the vest vibrates in a pretty alarming way.<\/p>\n
You bump on the gun to reload or throw grenades, and it combines with the vibration from the vest to create an immersive feel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The version of the game on show at IFA works with a projector, but the game has also been shown paired with VR headsets.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence seems to be gunning for the world\u2019s bartenders and baristas, with several units on display which can pour drinks – and even take payments.<\/p>\n
Absolut\u2019s Yanu system can not only pour gin and tonics, but also identify clients as they approach the bar, and take payments via a touchscreen system.<\/p>\n
Developed in Estonia, the concept Yanu robot can serve up to 100 drinks per hour.<\/p>\n
Unlike rival robo-bartenders, it takes just a few hours to set up and get working, its maker claims.<\/p>\n

The HUENIT robot arm designed by South Korean start-up Supernova can make coffee, and also turn its hands to other tasks including 3D printing.<\/p>\n
The AI camera built into HUENIT’s robot arm can recognise faces and objects, and it pairs with smartphones via Bluetooth for app control.<\/p>\n
The arm can rotate up to 220 degrees and lift up to 26.5 ounces in weight.<\/p>\n
A 265lb TV made of stone<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Ever wanted a television made of stone? Loewe is bringing that dream to life (Loewe)\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The IFA show saw some of the earliest TV broadcasts in the world in the 1920s – and this year, German TV brand Loewe showed off a TV made of stone.<\/p>\n
The Iconic TV – which was introduced in new stone finishes including midnight marble, diamond dust and ivory sands at IFA – is made of Syno-Stone, a material which is as solid, cool and heavy as stone.<\/p>\n
Sets weigh a whopping 200lb.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Syno Stone is a solid material which looks like concrete and is fully recyclable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This means that your stone TV can be made into another stone TV when you are finished with it.<\/p>\n
The TV comes in 55-inch and 65-inch variants and has a sharp 4K OLED display.<\/p>\n
A soundbar is built into the base of the TV which can plug into a full 5.1 surround system.<\/p>\n

Ever worried that your cat might not actually be your cat? Relax, Korean app Petnow has your back with a dog and cat recogniser.<\/p>\n
Dogs\u2019 noses are as unique as human fingerprints, the company says, and the app can recognise both dog noses and cat noses, so you can authenticate your cats.<\/p>\n
The makers describe it as a ‘non-invasive alternative to microchips.’<\/p>\n
The Seoul-based company claims that the biometrics have up to 99% accuracy.<\/p>\n
The idea is that if an animal is lost, the finder can scan it in Petnow and reunite it with its owner.<\/p>\n
Turn yourself into a metaverse puppet<\/span><\/p>\n\n

The metaverse character is controlled by your own facial expressions in real time (R2MIX)\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
An impressive demo from Korean company R2MIX allows you to control a 3D \u2018metaverse\u2019 avatar in real time – so it syncs to your face and fingers.<\/p>\n
The company\u2019s tech also enables AI-powered avatars and could be used to underpin virtual worlds where humans and AI interact together.<\/p>\n
The AI avatars use ChatGPT to answer questions on screen, while the human-controlled versions ‘lip sync’ in time to your words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The company says that the service is aimed at video creators ‘who want to create video content using digital humans’.<\/p>\n

These robot arms are built to work together (Rob Waugh)\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Another impressive demon the show floor showed multiple robot arms working together – normally robots work alone, even on factory production lines.<\/p>\n
Maker Hydrabyte says, \u2018If you put the robots close to each other, they will fail.<\/p>\n
‘Therefore, we have dedicated Hydrabyte to the programming of multi-robot systems.\u2019<\/p>\n
The company works to ensure multiple robots – even different ones – can work together safely, and the demonstration of multiple robot arms swirling round each other was mesmerising.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sylvox showed off a television (well, a tablet) which can actually float on water and is completely waterproof.<\/p>\n
The 15-inch Android tablet is completely waterproof, and comes with a stand to allow you to angle it.<\/p>\n
The company wouldn\u2019t let me float it on the stand as it\u2019s a prototype device.<\/p>\n
The concept device has Google TV built in, and includes a kickstand that also works as a handle.<\/p>\n
Sylvox also makes fully waterproof models designed for use outdoors or in the bathroom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
