"While CES 2026 is full of tech giants unveiling their latest innovations, the real excitement comes from discovering unexpected, quirky gadgets that make you ask, "Who thought of this?" We're here to spotlight the wildest products we've found so far at CES 2026, from an AI-powered panda that responds to your touch, to Razer's holographic anime assistant, and plenty more weirdness that makes you do a double-take."
"Razer's Project AVA, originally introduced last year as an esports AI coach, has evolved into something new: a 5.5-inch animated holographic desk companion that can assist with gaming strategies, productivity, daily organization, and even personal advice. It's both a gaming ally and an everyday assistant. Users can choose from different characters, such as the anime girl Kira or the muscular Zane."
"An'An, the latest AI pet from Mind with Heart Robotics, combines an adorable design with a meaningful mission: supporting elderly care. The panda bot has high-tech sensors all over its body, so it reacts naturally when you touch it. Its emotional AI remembers your voice, how you interact, and what you like, so the longer you spend time with An'An, the more personalized it gets."
