Marlo: Day three of CES 2022. And I’ll tell you after after walking 30,000 steps a day at this show, my feet hurt. My back is killing me right now. And Fernando, you have an amazing device for me.

Fernando: we have a solution for you. So basically, this is a low level laser therapy device for pain management of lower back pain. So what we have here is almost 300 lasers that you would put in your back. Okay, we will turn it on, you’ll see it illuminates and we’ll put it in our back, lower back, obviously. Ideally without shirt, okay and it’s going to increase my blood flow in the area where you know it hurts. It hurts because the muscle is inflammated we’re going to decrease that inflammation and we’re going to reduce the pain

Marlo:  actually, you can kind of feel the heat a little bit.

Fernando: Yes, it generates a little bit of heat. but really the treatment is the laser. The light inside your body stimulates blood flow.

Marlo: Interesting. Interesting. So how long do I have to wear it?

Fernando: wear this half an hour and if it still hurts you can use it a little bit more.

Marlo: So there’s no side effects if they want to wear it a little longer or whatever.

Fernando: There are no known side effects. You can use it a little longer, but mainly the protocol is 30 minutes everyday whenever it hurts.

Marlo: So how do we find out more information?

Fernando: so you can find us at Curavi.com

Marlo: these are available right now?

Fernando: Yes.

Marlo: Absolutely. Fantastic. So go check this out everybody if you want a little relief from a little back pain. I think this is a great solution. So this is your “Guru of Geek” Marlo Anderson at CES 2022

Marlo: Another amazing find at CES this year you lad is with Cecilia. And Cecilia has some very, very interesting talents. So tell us about any of that.

Elad: So Cecilia is the first autonomous robotic bartender. And you can direct with her she works on a speech recognition and AI technology. You can interact with her, you can joke with her, she can tell you jokes tell you stories. And she also makes a very, very good cocktail.

Marlo: where do you see this being used at? I mean, is it something that you’re going to see, you know, like, at small, smaller gatherings or meetings, or do you see this actually, in bars sometime in the future or even in people’s houses?

Elad: it really depends. We are aiming now for the cruise lines, hotel, okay. Yeah. Resorts, stadiums, lounges, VIP lounges, bring this innovation to the customers. Bring them something very nice to have fun way to interact with

Marlo: how many drinks will she make?

Elad: Well, it’s depends. SSA has 12 pipes. You can use them all. You can also put premix. You can also mix it inside Cecilia, and you can choose but she can contain up to 70 liters.

Marlo: Do I get to try this first?

Elad: Why are we here?

Marlo: how does this work? I mean, do I just speak into the microphone? Really?

Elad: yeah, we’re gonna I’m gonna give you a glass with a nice, okay. Good.

Marlo: Okay

Elad: All right up to start. Tap the start.

Cecilia: Well, hello sylia.ai, the world’s first interactive robotic bartender. If you want booze, you came to the right booth. But first, I need to check your ID.

Elad: Here. I’ll butcher the ID perfectly. You’re over 21 Right.

Marlo: I am over 21  yes

Marlo: perfect. So here now she can scan my ID. Okay, and say we can drink.

Elad: Awesome. Let’s get you something. Oh, you can ask her.

Marlo: What’s on the menu. What do you recommend? So what do you recommend Cecilia?

Cecilia: I recommend checking out the rest of the Israeli startups around the cocktail hour. Do you prefer your cocktail sweet, fruity, smoky or classic?

Marlo: Oh, let’s try a fruity one.

Cecilia: You can’t fall with a fruity cocktail. Even when it’s made with a fall fruit. Take my vodka with cranberries. asked me for cranberry pie or mix from the menu.

Marlo: Cranberry pie.

Cecilia: Raspberry Pie is for makers. Cranberry pie is for takers.

Elad: And there you go.

Marlo: Oh my goodness.

Elad: Yeah. You’re in a blink of an eye. You haven’t seen it. Haven’t seen it coming. Degas goes on

Cecilia: your story. Don’t forget to tag hashtag drinker Cecilia. Amazing, so I can bring it up course. It’s yours. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers.

Elad: What do you think?

Marlo: Thank you very much. That’s pretty tasty here. Where do people find more information about this?

Elad: So you can go to our website, it’s Cecilia AI. So you can look up for us. You can contact us and we will provide anything you need. I appreciate

Marlo: I appreciate your time of geek Marlo Anderson at CES 2022

Marlo:  Are you tired of wearing headsets like Oculus or whatever, for gaming for watching movies? Barmak here has an amazing solution to this. So tell me a little bit about your company and what you’ve developed.

Barmak: Hi everyone, we are Brelyon, we are creating the world’s first virtual display that doesn’t need any headset. So what we are doing is that we are engineering the light that comes to the outside world such that your eyes actually focus in further distance, and we give you a very large field of view..

Marlo:  So how far back do you have to stand from this device,

Barmak: so you go from anywhere from you know, 15 centimeter all the way to like 65 centimeter, so you can move back and forth on your chair, drink your coffee, and comfortably use this, this is kind of mostly made for desktop settings, it’s not a portable device. We really want to give you something that is 10 times better than what you’re experiencing today with monitors. And this is a device that you can use eight hours a day, every day, it has very, very minimal eye fatigue compared to headsets for examples, because of the nature of the depth that we provide.

Marlo:  And I will tell you too, that’s one of the things that I don’t like about wearing a headset, is the eyestrain, I also get a little neck strain from it, because they’re kind of heavy on your head after a while you know too. So I would imagine that, you know, after you use them for a while that you get accustomed to this, but there’s really no kind of physical curve or whatever you want to call it, you know, when you’re using this, because you can just set this up and go, right?

Barmak: That is correct. So you don’t you know, you just use it like a normal monitor. So we wanted to be as non-intrusive as possible to the customer behavior. And so we really designed around that existing behavior, existing content and looking into how can we engineer the light to really enhance your experience to computers.

Marlo: Tell me about your favorite experience with your new product.

Barmak: So we just released 144 hertz gaming version of this technology. So imagine 122 inch 144 hertz HDR experience is really unheard of in the world of displays. And that’s that’s kind of the interesting new angle to Brelyon is that you’re not just like getting rid of the headsets, but we’re pushing the monitor industry, you know, to a new territory in terms of performance.

Marlo: Tell me about your favorite experience with your new product.

Barmak: So we just released 144 hertz gaming version of this technology. So imagine 122 inch 144 hertz HDR experience is really unheard of in the world of displays. And that’s that’s kind of the interesting new angle to Brady on is that you’re not just like getting rid of the headsets, but we’re pushing the minor industry, you know, to a new territory in terms of performance.

Marlo: Very cool. How do we find out more information about Brelyon?

Barmak: So just look us up www.brelyon.com And we have all the information there.

Marlo: Alright. Barmak it’s been a pleasure, everybody. This is your “Guru of Geek” Marlo Anderson coming to you from CES 2022

Marlo: As you noticed, I don’t have a lot of hair left on my head. Fernando, though, might have a solution for me. So what do you have going on with Capillus?

Fernando: Well, Marlo, you still have hair, you’ve lost a lot. Yes, but you still have some if you want to fight, there are three FDA approved or clear solutions. One is finasteride which is a drug that you need to take then you have minoxidil which is topical, that you need to put twice a day on your scalp. And you have low level laser therapy, which is what we brought here at CES.

Marlo: Okay, so it looks like it’s built into a cap. So what do I do I just wear this thing so long every day

Fernando: you just need to wear it for six minutes a day, has no side effects, no drugs involved. So you just basically place it in your head and then you see it turns on automatically. Yeah. So for six minutes, I’m just having my therapy. And basically, how it works is the laser is able to penetrate the scalp and stimulate the mitochondria within the cells to produce thicker, fuller hair.

Marlo: So does this work for pretty much everybody? Or if you have like standard male pattern baldness,

Fernando: exactly. Well, it works. It’s FDA clear for androgenetic alopecia, which is male and female pattern mold works in both in both men and women. And it takes six months to a year to start seeing results. So don’t think it’s anything magic, it’s scientific. The only thing is it takes time and it requires you to comply with the treatment in the long run. Like any other hair loss treatments, so overwhelming the people who comply with the treatment, they have 95% access rate, okay, and on average, they’re growing 51% More hair. It doesn’t mean that if you have no hair, you’re gonna grow hair. It means that in the cycle in the hair loss cycle, you have dormant hairs that are there but they are in a resting phase, okay, so the cap this technology is able to bring this back to to grow in phase. That’s what we want. And that is what gives you a higher count. And it gives you the fuller look.

Marlo: How do we find out more information?

Fernando: Capillus.com

Marlo: and the products is available ready to go right now?

Fernando: Absolutely. We sell online we sell through many partners. Many doctors recommended us

Marlo: very cool. I appreciate it. Very good. Thank you. This is your “Guru of Geek” Marlo Anderson at CES 2022.

Marlo: This may be the coolest thing we have found at CES this year. So the Bzigo is a well, in fact, I’m gonna let Ben describe this to you, but it’s an amazing product that a lot of people are gonna take advantage of. So, Hey, Ben, welcome to the Tech Ranch.

Ben: Thanks very much. You know, Bzigo is taking care of mosquitoes and other pests. I’ll tell you my problem. I wake up in the middle of the night, hearing a buzzing in my ear. I jump up, I slam my door shut so the mosquito doesn’t fly over to my kid’s room. And I turn on the light and I spend 10 minutes just looking for the stupid mosquito so I can kill it. Bzigo takes care of that problem. We find the mosquitoes we track them as soon as they fly into the room. We know they’re there.

Ben: We have an IR LEDs so we can see in the dark. Soon as the mosquito lands, we send you a notification to your phone. Then we take a laser pointer circle the mosquito show you exactly where it is. We can find mosquitoes up to eight meters 26 feet away. At that distance of mosquitoes only one pixel large but we can find it

Marlo: Is this your first year at CES.

Ben: This is our second time at CES. We were here with our prototype. And now we’re here with our actual finished product. We are ready to go to market. We’re working on mass production right now.

Marlo: No, I love it. I love it. So where do we find more information about the Bzigo

Ben: Visit Bzigo.com

Marlo: Thank you, Benn! This is your “Guru of Geek” Marlo Anderson at CES 2022.

Marlo: One of the challenges for tea lovers is the length of time a lot of times it takes to make tea. Well, I’m visiting with Bogdan, here he is with a company called Bru out of Switzerland, of course known for hot chocolate, right? And maybe other chocolate things, but I think you might be known for tea in the future. So tell me a little bit about what you got going on here.

Bodgan: Yeah, thanks for having us here. At Bru we are about to simplifying the tea bagging process, but without changing it. So it’s still a traditional tea making process— the tea steeps in the machine, but we totally automated. We remove all the hassle that you have you make it a manual way by using a kettle or something like that

Marlo: We were watching you earlier, you were actually measuring tea and putting it into like a metal cup exactly that went in. So tell talk about that process a little bit

Bodgan: So what you saw is basically a seed  is the seed the whole city. So and the machine takes care of all the other parameters. So the steeping time, the water amount, the water temperature, and it also adds consistency to the whole tea preparation

Marlo: and I can use any tea I want?

Bodgan: That’s exactly the point. So we don’t want to force the user to use only one specific tea found in capsules. We just want to provide a tool that simplifies the process. So you can use any tea loose leaf tea tea and tea bag, so you can use fresh herbs just put it in the machine, press the button, and the perfect drink will be prepared.

Marlo: Right. So while we were talking now, this was actually steeping tea. And here we go.

Bodgan: Now it’s serving the tea. And now also, if you want to add convenience into the tea preparation, you need to solve the cleaning problem and we solve that with some patented technology that we’re using here. So patent granted, not just applied. Granted patent very strong and we made just a black tea. Now if you want to make another tea, the only thing that you need to do is actually just take like open the lid and remove this brewing chamber. That’s it. You don’t need to clean the machine or anything. Just change it out and make another cup of tea.

Marlo: So is this available on the market already?

Bodgan: With data pre sold or like a crowdfunding preset campaign… We plan to launch in a couple of months. We are right now in the certification stage. So yeah, in a couple of months, it will be available in the stores.

Marlo: Congratulations on all that. Fantastic. So this is your “Guru of Geek” Marlo Anderson at CES 2022.

Marlo: Mario Kart fans, I am standing next to Mauricio. And he has the most amazing unique. I don’t know what you want to call this—- this car. It works. If you’re a Mario Kart fan, you’re gonna love this. So tell me about what you got going on here with Battle Racing.

Mauricio: So, now we have electric go karts. Modified it, and added some hardware to make all the power ups in real life. So now we have a shooter for a ball, like the shell, so when you shoot the ball, and you hit the rear of the other guard, you block him for five seconds. We also have the shooter for the bananas, it’s the discs and when you cross over the desk in on the floor, you get blocked at five seconds also. All the power ups that we have are based or inspired from Mario Kart. So, we also have the boost, double speed, we have the star, double speed and when you cross near to other kart, we block it for five seconds.

Marlo: So how many people can play at a time?

Mauricio: Only eight people can do it in our tracks.

Marlo: And how big are your tracks. So, do you have to go to one of your facilities or can you do this in anywhere?

Mauricio: Our facilities. So, the first one will be in Miami on April.

Marlo: I really really want to see you drive this. So, if you guys are ready.

Mauricio: Here we go.

Marlo: So I didn’t hear any Yahoos or anything while you’re driving. You must be used to doing this already.

Mauricio: Yeah, we need the checkpoints area. So we are seeing the power apps. You now have the shooter in the front and we can shoot the bananas. That’s the disk. And we do it while we’re driving. So we can send the star, bananas, the mushrooms and all the stuff that we do it like in Mario Kart.

Marlo: So congratulations on your idea. This is fantastic. Battle racing everybody. Go check this thing out coming to Miami pretty soon and hopefully up to 100 other locations in the United States. This is your “Guru of Geek” Marlo Anderson at CES 2022.

Marlo: I just tried your cheese! It’s really good. So I need to know more about the process of, you know, what did I just eat?

Andrew: So, it is vegan cheese based on almond milk.

Marlo: So you’re taking what would be considered traditional almond milk and converting that to cheese? Correct? How’s that possible?

Andrew: That technology has been around for more than 50 years actually. Conversion of plant based to protein and what generally people are saying is vegan cheese don’t taste very good, right? So what we felt like we’ve accomplished is we’ve solved that problem of making the cheese taste good. Vegan cheese has two problems, one taste and two nutrition— and we solve both of those problems.

Marlo: This cheese that you brought here is pretty new.

Andrew: It is new. It’s literally coming off the production line as we speak.

Marlo: Wow. And you have a sample here?

Andrew: I have sample here. This is the shredded mozzarella and I’ve got a bunch of bottles. I’ll just give you a couple of samples.

Marlo: It looks just like mozzarella. This is impressive. Does it melt like mozzarella?

Andrew: It does melt like mozzarella! So taste and consistency. This is our spreadable cream cheese—- spreadable cheese will come in eight different flavors right now. But we want to follow a particular company that offers 31 flavors so depending on season, depending on trend we’ll offer that flavor.

Marlo: And cream cheeses?

Andrew: And cream cheeses. Let’s say in the fall people are looking for spice pumpkin flavor. So in the fall we’ll offer that flavor.

Marlo: Okay, right. All plant based.

Andrew: All almond milk.

Marlo: Oh, I’m sorry. I’m thinking plant based all the time.

Andrew: So, the cube cheese that you tasted.  It’ll come in that format. There’s 12 in there.

Marlo: So this is just like a snackers. This is fantastic. So, how do we find out more about all your products?

Andrew: It’s on our website armoredfresh.com or you can go to yangyoo.com And you can find out about our products.

Marlo: at CES 2022 This is your “Guru of Geek” Marlo Anderson.

Marlo: Standing next to me is Alexander with Santor. Now these guys have a solution to maybe a lot of the security challenges that we have nowadays, right, especially with Google and your Alexa device in your house because they’re always on right? Isn’t that right?

Alexandre: Exactly. Well, if you start thinking before, there was microphones around us, but not a lot like today, so a lot of microphones are listening live. Like in all the IoT devices that come to market, they have a microphone built in. So technically, our device emits audible and non audible noises to disrupt the microphones.

Alexandre: We started with the UMG 52, that we renamed for the name of HARP . Which is the bigger model. And here at CES, we are here to show our Kickstarter new launch that we are doing for a smaller version, that it’s called the HARP mini, meaning the heart has two modes of protection. One is audible with personalized voice frequencies that you can add your own voice inside. And this is basically to make people not understand what you’re saying. So this is audible, you don’t want the people to hear what you’re saying, basically. So this is good for different scenarios. And the other mode, which is the discreet mode that we call, this is more like something that is above our hearing level, level of that we can hear with our ears basically.

Marlo: WhenI listen to this thing, it almost sounds like a Bluetooth, that’s too far away to listen to the music you’re trying to listen to. So you see hear little bits and pieces, but you really can’t make it out. This is kind of what this does. So are you thinking that you know, as you guys are getting started here with this, that this is more of a corporate type of thing? Or do you see this being used more in the household right now

Alexandre: The wars are no longer with firearms, it’s in economic wars. And when you start looking on the scale, like we see a lot of industrial espionage going on. So our bigger unit is a unit that is restricted that we sell only to governments. But the smaller unit, basically, we decided to come to offer privacy to everyone and to bring a solution that would be good for businesses, small startups to have a device like that, to prevent and to eventually reduce the risks of information leakage.

Marlo: Gotcha. I gotcha. So all right, so kickstarter.com, look for Santor and you can get involved into the Kickstarter. I’m assuming you have a website as well.

Alexandre: Santor.com

Marlo: S A N T O R.com. So check this out everybody. Alexander, really appreciate you being here. At CES 2022, this is your “Guru of Geek” Marlo Anderson.

The post Your Privacy Matters with Santor appeared first on The Tech Ranch.

Marlo: Taking care of your hands, sanitizing your hands have become a big deal in the last couple years. It’s always been a big deal. But of course, it’s front and center nowadays. So Max, right over here has a solution that really, especially with children, right,  but let’s talk about your innovation and tell me how you’re changing the world with Soapy.

Max: Well, we are actually trying to help people wash their hands in the best way. We try to gamify something that in some way you can consider boring, make it fun and at the same time, hygienic, safe, easy. That’s exactly what we’re doing.

Marlo: How does this work, somebody comes up and just puts their hands in there and pretty much the magic just starts?

Max: Pretty much. So we use a variety of sensors that can see that your hands are actually in and then manage the entire cycle for you: water, soap, time. It will also show you how to wash your hands properly. And then it’ll analyze and tell  if you did it the way you are supposed to. Let’s try it! So this is WHO and CDC guidelines of how you are supposed to scrub and rub your hands. At that time, right now, we have several sensors that are analyzing motion, time, gesture and your temperature to verify that you’re actually doing everything properly. All of that is happening simultaneously to the process, not on the cloud right here at the system. We’re using artificial intelligence for that. We can also advertise for you environmental messages, or just, you know, advertisements, the water is preheated and dispenses 95% less than any other faucet. So we save a lot of water over here and saving a lot of soap to make things environmentally friendly.

Marlo: So, let’s see if I get a smiley face or a frowny face now.

 Max: 100! 100! That’s the way!

Marlo: That was easy, because I could just follow the guidelines here. And yeah, that’s interesting. So why is it so important to have your hands clean?

Max: Well, it starts with infection prevention and control. So, we usually think that we wash our hands properly. But the bottom line is that our mind span and with all of the speed of things happening around us. You don’t have the time for that. I need to go back to work, I need to do some medical procedure, I need to take my kids out of the kindergarten. We don’t have the time to stop for 20 seconds and do things properly. You can do it over here. We gained that fight for you. You don’t have to worry about soap or water or the temperature, you don’t need to control anything. Just wash your hands and keep yourself healthy.

Marlo: So how do we find out more information? Are these available to the general public yet?  

Max: It is? We started back in 2018. Okay, but we are commercially active in 15 countries around the globe before of course over here in the States. Okay, so if you just go into soapy.care, you can get to our shop and order online.

Marlo: Appreciate your time Max. This is your “Guru of Geek” Marlo Anderson at CES 2022!
