Below are 10 gadgets being demo’d at this year’s expo that are sure to usher your home into the new digital age (as if it wasn’t there already)…<\/p>\n

Did your spouse lock themselves out of the house again? No problem. You can let them in remotely via your smartphone with the Goji Smart Lock<\/a>. The device can also\u00a0give time-controlled access to others via text message, while a built-in camera takes a picture of anyone at the door and sends it to the homeowner’s smartphone. It’s like a CCTV peephole.<\/p>\n

DoorBot<\/strong><\/p>\n

To go along with your smartphone-connected door lock, you’re going to need a smartphone-connected doorbell. Enter: DoorBot, a sleek, Wi-Fi enabled doorbell<\/a> that feeds a live video of any visitor directly to your smartphone.<\/p>\n

Intel’s concept LED coffee mug\u00a0lights up via a companion app to display numbers, letters and crude smiley faces in various colors. As Engadget explains<\/a>, Intel is demoing the product at this year’s CES alongside its\u00a0internet-connected baby onesie,\u00a0in which the mug’s pulsing lights will match a child’s breathing patterns. You know, so you can monitor your kid by staring at a coffee cup instead of having a baby monitor on the table.<\/p>\n

Sure, any tech company worth its salt has a line of 3D printers in the works, but Taiwan-based\u00a0XYZprinting’s model stands out for its affordable, sub-$500 price tag. Just think of all the money you’ll save printing your own iPhone cases and\u00a0plastic firearms<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Simplicam is a home surveillance system that uses facial recognition software to tell you who’s lurking in or around your house. The Wi-Fi-connected cameras will recognize your family members and tell you via your phone or computer when someone is not supposed to be there. George Orwell was right, in the future Big Brother will always be watching.<\/p>\n

Known as The Gesture<\/a>, this office chair is touted as the first ever to “support posture changes specifically influenced by technology devices we use today.” Steelcase, the development company behind the design, conducted a study in 11 countries, observing 2,000 people in a wide range of postures and uncovered nine new sitting positions as a result of the way we use new technology like tablets and smartphones.<\/p>\n
