The Consumer Electronics Show (CES), currently taking place in Las Vegas this week, attracts thousands of attendees and exhibitors from around the world. At CES 2025, several new products with accessibility features were unveiled.
Here are some of the notable ones:
Halliday Smart Glasses with Ring
Halliday’s new Smart Glasses feature a built-in display and AI-powered assistant. This technology offers real-time language translation, note-taking, and meeting summaries, which could greatly benefit people with disability. The glasses are also designed with accessibility in mind, allowing users to control them with voice commands or a special ring. Designed to be lightweight and easy to use, with most of their power coming from a mobile app.

Samsung Bulging TV
Samsung’s bulging TV concept creates a 3D effect by protruding the screen, bringing objects into the viewer’s space. This technology could potentially offer tactile support, such as feeling TV objects or reading Braille.

RoboRock Vacuum Cleaner
Roborock’s new Saros Z70 robot vacuum features a mechanical arm that can pick up and move larger debris, such as socks and small towels, while it cleans. The arm, called OmniGrip, can detect and lift objects weighing up to 300 grams. Although the list of recognisable objects is currently small, Roborock plans to expand it through software updates. This developing technology has the potential to greatly benefit people with physical disability, making cleaning easier and more accessible.
