Entertainment platform covers innovative products from silent call technology to robotic companions at annual tech event.
LAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, January 25, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Brian Sebastian, founder and host of Movie Reviews and More, attended the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The event is produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), which calls CES ‘the most powerful tech event in the world.’ Sebastian conducted exclusive interviews with innovators and entrepreneurs, spotlighting standout products that captured his attention during the four-day event.
The 2026 show welcomed more than 148,000 attendees, including over 55,000 international attendees, and featured 4,100+ exhibitors showcasing advancements across consumer electronics, healthcare technology, artificial intelligence, and more.
“CES is where you can find these great products that nobody knows of,” Sebastian said during his coverage. “I tell people about these innovations all the time, and they’re like, ‘What? I’ve never heard of it.’ That’s what makes covering this event so important.”
Among Sebastian’s top five discoveries:
Skyted: Silent Call Technology – Sebastian interviewed Skyted CEO and founder Stephane Hersen about the company’s revolutionary silent call technology, which allows users to make phone calls in public spaces without being overheard. “We are obsessed about silent calls,” Hersen explained. “I’m going to be able to make a team call or Zoom on a train, on an aircraft, in an office, in a Starbucks, and nobody will be able to pry into my conversation.”
Skyted said the product sold out during the show and marked the company’s fourth consecutive year exhibiting at CES. Hersen, a former Airbus executive, developed the technology from a specific pain point: “My target is how 300 persons are going to make a call on a plane without disturbing each other, and I’m sticking to that.”
Tombot: Robotic Companion for Seniors – Sebastian spoke with Tombot representatives, including Dr. Marissa Steingold, about “Jenny,” a remarkably realistic robotic puppy designed specifically for seniors with dementia. The company reported approximately 21,000 pre-orders and waitlist customers, including individuals and healthcare organizations from 115 countries.
“Dementia is really a woman’s problem,” Dr. Marissa Steingold explained. “Not only do women get dementia more than men, even when you account for the fact that women live longer than men, but caregiving responsibilities tend to fall to women.”
Developed in partnership with Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, Jenny was named a “Best of CES” winner, awarded by CNET Group in collaboration with CTA, drawing attention for its lifelike appearance, texture, and responsive behaviors.
iTour Translator: Breaking Language Barriers – Sebastian showcased iTour Translator’s AI-powered translation solutions, including AR translation glasses and a detachable dual-screen translator. The technology enables real-time translation across 127 languages when connected to the internet, with offline support for 21 languages. The AR glasses offer simultaneous two-way translation with subtitles displayed directly on the lenses.
Xello: Visual Sound Experience – The Xello Bluetooth speaker transforms audio into visual performance, featuring technology that converts sound into mesmerizing motion. The device offers dynamic liquid performance that reacts to music, creating an immersive sensory experience beyond traditional audio playback.
Wizard of Oz at Sphere – While not a consumer product, Sebastian highlighted the immersive Wizard of Oz experience at the Sphere, Las Vegas’s revolutionary entertainment venue. The installation showcased how emerging technology is reshaping experiential entertainment.
