Samsung To Show Off Smart Belt And Two Other Products At CES

OEMs and developers are already preparing to show of their latest products and inventions in the next Consumer Eletcronic Show (CES) that’s just a few weeks away. Samsung is expected to unveil three new products from its secret lab called C-Lab (Creative Lab).

One of these products is called Welt which is actually a smart belt. This should come as no surprise, we reported a few days ago that the South Korean giant is working on a smart ring which in itself, isn’t even a strange technology. The smart belt is designed to monitor users’ health.

More precisely, it can record the user’s waist size, eating habits and the number of steps taken daily. This belt too can also monitor the amount of time spent sitting down. This smart belt looks like a normal belt and it offers a more discreet way of using wearables for health monitoring.

According to a statement released on Samsung’s website, this belt sends collected data to a special app for analysis.

Another product Samsung plans to unveil at CES is an advanced hand-motion controller for mobile VR devices called rink. Simply put, this device can be used to make Virtual Reality more realistic by providing users ability to control games or content using their hands.
