LG Rollablw displays, it's time for rollable displays. LG showcased one such innovation at the CES 2016. It comes with an 18-inch screen that can be rolled up like a newspaper. This could lay the foundation for devices in exciting form factors.

Samsung Family Hub Refrigerator

It acts as a command centre and allows you to share and update calendars, pin photos, fetch recopies and more. It has three cameras to capture the contents inside and track product expiration dates. The information is transferred over WiFi, to the Samsung Smart Home app. It can also be used to watch TV.

The caterpillar has eight segments with different colours and symbols. When kids assemble them together and press the power button, it scans the assembly and moves accordingly.

Scio

This interesting gadget from French start-up DietSensor comes with molecular sensors that can read the chemical make-up of materials, such as food, plants, medication, oil and fuel. With a single click of a button, it scans data and learns from it. The company claims Scio can tell the fat content in a salad dressing or how pure the oil is. You can actually fi nd out how many calories you will be consuming during every meal.
