i.wakeup Sunrise Clock

Available in February 2010 for $129.99

The i.wakeup Sunrise Clock is a “dawn simulator,” using gentle light to wake you up naturally rather than with a blaring alarm. Oregon Scientific says that thirty minutes prior to your set wake-up time, the i.wakeup Sunrise Clock gradually increases illumination with a 300-lux light, simulating a natural sunrise. And if just the light isn’t doing it for you, you have your choice of five different nature sounds or you favorite FM radio station to wake up with as well.

Advanced Wireless Appliance Manager

August/September 2010 for $79.99

The Advanced Wireless Appliance Manager helps you keep an eye on how much energy your appliances are using up and how much it costs to operate them. Up to eight appliances can be monitored with wireless remote sensors on the Appliance Manager. The main base displays real-time cost, power consumption and carbon emissions for individual appliances, and it also features a handy clock and calendar.

T1 Zone Trainer with Hydration Index

Available for $119.99,

Oregon Scientific will expand its robust Sports and Fitness line with this heart rate monitor featuring the world’s first hydration index as well as the Company’s exclusive Tap-On Lens Technology. So no more messing with buttons while exercising.

There's a scene in Mission Impossible 3 that you might recall. In it, our hero Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) tackles the movie's villain, holds him at gunpoint, and forces him to read a bizarre series of sentences aloud.

"The pleasure of Busby's company is what I most enjoy," he reluctantly reads. "He put a tack on Miss Yancy's chair, and she called him a horrible boy. At the end of the month, he was flinging two kittens across the width of the room ..."

Digital Trends’ Top Tech of CES 2023 Awards

Best of CES 2023 Awards Our Top Tech from the Show Feature

Let there be no doubt: CES isn’t just alive in 2023; it’s thriving. Take one glance at the taxi gridlock outside the Las Vegas Convention Center and it’s evident that two quiet COVID years didn’t kill the world’s desire for an overcrowded in-person tech extravaganza -- they just built up a ravenous demand.

From VR to AI, eVTOLs and QD-OLED, the acronyms were flying and fresh technologies populated every corner of the show floor, and even the parking lot. So naturally, we poked, prodded, and tried on everything we could. They weren’t all revolutionary. But they didn’t have to be. We’ve watched enough waves of “game-changing” technologies that never quite arrive to know that sometimes it’s the little tweaks that really count.

Digital Trends’ Tech For Change CES 2023 Awards

Digital Trends CES 2023 Tech For Change Award Winners Feature

CES is more than just a neon-drenched show-and-tell session for the world’s biggest tech manufacturers. More and more, it’s also a place where companies showcase innovations that could truly make the world a better place — and at CES 2023, this type of tech was on full display. We saw everything from accessibility-minded PS5 controllers to pedal-powered smart desks. But of all the amazing innovations on display this year, these three impressed us the most:

Samsung's Relumino Mode
Across the globe, roughly 300 million people suffer from moderate to severe vision loss, and generally speaking, most TVs don’t take that into account. So in an effort to make television more accessible and enjoyable for those millions of people suffering from impaired vision, Samsung is adding a new picture mode to many of its new TVs.

Relumino Mode, as it’s called, works by adding a bunch of different visual filters to the picture simultaneously. Outlines of people and objects on screen are highlighted, the contrast and brightness of the overall picture are cranked up, and extra sharpness is applied to everything. The resulting video would likely look strange to people with normal vision, but for folks with low vision, it should look clearer and closer to "normal" than it otherwise would.
Excitingly, since Relumino Mode is ultimately just a clever software trick, this technology could theoretically be pushed out via a software update and installed on millions of existing Samsung TVs -- not just new and recently purchased ones.
