Garmin introduces a new heart rate monitor that will help those who wear sports bras have an easier time tracking their health data. The company introduced the HRM-Fit at CES 2024, a new clip-on heart rate monitor that works with medium- to high-support bras.

Traditional chest strap heart rate monitors aren't the most comfortable to wear, so attaching a heart rate monitor to a sports bra brings that bit of comfort.

Xgimi Horizon Max: A bright and smart 4K projector with IMAX Enhanced

Xgimi has launched two new projectors for the US market: the 4K Horizon Max and the Aladdin, which we talked about here. The Horizon Max is Xgimi’s brightest 4K smart projector ever, with 3,100 ISO lumens from its hybrid light source. However, Xgimi has a history of exaggerating its brightness ratings, as revealed by a lawsuit from Epson. So, you may want to take it with a grain of salt.

Other specs Xgimi talked about the Horizon Max include a high contrast ratio (2000:1) and DTS audio. That allows this projector to receive an IMAX Enhanced certification. That certification lets it play enhanced content from streaming services like Disney+.

The Aladdin is a ceiling light projector from Xgimi that combines the technology of Popin, a Japanese company that Xgimi acquired. The Aladdin has the same specifications as the Popin Aladdin 2 Plus, which sells for about US$897 (around CA$1,199).

The Aladdin can be installed on any standard light socket and project a 1080p image of up to 100 inches. The projector also has a built-in lamp that can be controlled by the remote or the Xgimi app. However, Aladdin does not work with Matter or other smart home platforms.

Jackery has created a rooftop tent that can also power your car and appliances with solar energy. The tent is currently a concept on display at CES, but Jackery plans to launch it by the end of 2024.

The tent has retractable solar panels that produce up to 1000W when the car is parked and the tent is open. Its solar panels can generate up to 4.96kWh per day in the western US, or 4kWh in the east, according to Jackery’s estimates.
