ASUS ZenBeam Latte is a cup-sized projector

ASUS' new compact projector might remind you of your favourite cup of coffee. The ZenBeam Latte L1 comes in the form factor of the drink it's inspired by, and we can't help but be charmed by its shape. It has a built-in speaker that ASUS claims is enhanced by its fabric exterior. It's about the size of a Bluetooth speaker, and with its Harman Kardon 10-watt speaker and Bluetooth connectivity, it can act like one for as long as 12 hours on a single charge.

Of course, you'd want to use it as a projector. It can project images ranging from 40 inches to 120 inches, and it has a modest 300 lumens of brightness courtesy of LEDs. Its battery life is projected (pun unintended) to last around three hours, which should get you through two relatively short movies or one blockbuster.

No, you can't buy it, but it certainly fits the times. Razer's Project Hazel concept shows what a gaming hardware company can do with something as essential as a face mask. 

Razer takes the N95-class face mask and adds some smart features to it. Some ideas included in Project Hazel are active ventilation and auto sterilization. Its bacteria filtration efficiency pods promise to trap 95 percent of airborne particles. It has a case that charges and sterilizes the mask's ventilators. It uses replaceable filters alongside the ventilators on its pods, so it's more of a sustainable solution.

Since CES is a virtual event this year, companies need to adapt their usual showroom showcase into the digital space. Fiat Chrysler has done so with its virtual world where there will be 12 vehicles viewable in 3D. It will open first to CES attendees and then later to consumers. The experience will have a virtual brand ambassador, or you can explore on your own. Expect to see videos from the automaker's engineers and designers on the work and tech they've included in the cars.

Aside from that, Fiat Chrysler has partnered with Google to create an augmented reality version of its upcoming Jeep Wrangler 4xe. You'll be able to see the SUV's interiors or even place a 3D model of the car in your driveway to get a sense of its size. After CES, the automaker plans to make this experience available through Google Search.
