Internet-connected vibrators – for men, women or unisex, a hand-held translator: IFA 2018’s weirdest devices
Device makers push the envelope at Europe’s largest tech show, and they’ve got you covered from living room to kitchen to bedroom
Berlin’s IFA tech show is the largest in Europe, and while the hype may not match its American big brother CES, there’s no shortage of weird and wonderful devices to reward curious visitors.
Tame luggage
I-Porter may be the solution for those fed up with juggling phone, passport, boarding pass and hand luggage at the airport. The cabin-sized suitcase is motorised and follows its human master with the aid of a laser detection system. If you’re worried about its affections straying, an optional Bluetooth bracelet can help avoid mix-ups. Around US$1,733.
Iron chef
German home electronics maker AEG is offering a range of frying pans and saucepans with built-in sensors. They can step in to turn down the heat quickly if it looks like your dish risks bubbling over or browning too close to black.
