Hey, I'm Chris Velazco, a personal tech reporter at The Washington Post, and even though I've been covering this show, CES, for years, it still feels impossible to walk these halls and talk to people and feel like you've seen and experienced everything CES has to offer, so we're not even going to try.
Instead, what we're going to offer is a first glimpse at some of the newest and strangest and most interesting things we've seen at the show so far.
Hopefully, they give you some sense of how your relationship with technology will change this year, but if nothing else, should be a lot of fun.
So I've got my backpack on, my comfy shoes.
Let's go take a walk.
You can always count on Samsung to bring some really interesting stuff to CES, and there have been a few standouts already.
There is the world's first transparent micro LED wall, so basically a display that you can see right through and something called music frames, which are speakers you can stick on your wall and double as art pieces.
But maybe the weirdest and most interesting thing we saw this year was Ballie, an AI-powered home robot with a projector that's meant to work as kind of a catchall home assistant.
Hey buddy.
It's Samsung's first attempt at a serious home companion robot.
