We believe that these exciting new technologies shouldn’t remain the domain of big companies alone. We’re empowering engineers, students, and hobbyists alike to take inspiration from the best in the industry and create their own hardware breakthroughs. Below, we’ve rounded up five of the most buzzworthy projects from CES 2025, along with tips on how you can use Flux to build your own inspired versions.
Halliday, a newcomer in the wearable tech scene, unveiled its AI Glasses at CES 2025 . These smart glasses are designed to be lightweight and comfortable for everyday use. They feature a unique "DigiWindow" display that projects information directly into the user's field of vision. This display can be moved horizontally across the frame and twisted to bring the screen into focus, ensuring optimal viewing for different users . The glasses also include a proactive AI assistant that anticipates user needs by analyzing conversations, answering questions, and providing additional details without prompting.
Flux offers a rich component library, including microcontrollers, sensors, and displays, allowing you to jump right into creating AI wearables. Use our AI-driven design tools to plan and design your circuit boards, then check out projects like the Biskuit AI pendant or a wearable AI camera, which features microphones, a camera, and wireless connectivity for running AI models. You can also streamline manufacturing by starting with one of our JLCPCB, PCBWay, or SEEED Studio design templates.
A standout at CES 2025, Alux merges STEM education with eSports through a portable drone and a gamified coding platform. Not only does this drone teach programming in Scratch, Entry, and Python, but it also introduces an “arena” concept for drone-based eSports—allowing competitions and immersive gameplay wherever you go. It’s an ideal solution for tech-savvy students and recreational users eager to learn coding while having fun.
Just like Alux’s portable coding drone teaches programming through Scratch, Entry, or Python, you can take your drone education to the next level by designing and building a custom drone on Flux. It’s a hands-on way to deepen both your software and hardware skills.
Clone an existing project like this quadcopter template or our STM32F4 Flight Controller Template to get a proven setup. Customize your flight controller, add sensors, and integrate AI capabilities using Flux’s schematic editor and AI-driven layout tools.
Honda Zero is the iconic automaker’s latest entry into sustainable personal mobility. Unveiled at CES 2025, this sleek electric SUV combines cutting-edge battery technology, advanced AI-based diagnostics, and a modular design that allows riders to swap out hardware components and upgrade them with minimal hassle. By focusing on zero emissions and high efficiency, Honda is positioning the Zero as a next-generation commuter vehicle for eco-conscious riders everywhere.
If Honda Zero’s modular and eco-friendly approach has you inspired, check out our resources for creating your own electric ride:
Belkin, known for its reliable chargers and accessories, unveiled the Stage PowerGrip at CES 2025—a versatile portable charger with a built-in handle that doubles as a phone or camera grip. Equipped with multiple USB-C and USB-A ports, the PowerGrip can charge several devices simultaneously. Its ergonomic design, combined with fast charging capabilities, makes it a convenient all-in-one power solution for travelers, content creators, and everyday users alike.
Inspired by the Belkin Stage PowerGrip? Flux has you covered with resources to design and customize your own portable battery packs:
Jackery, a renewable energy company, unveiled its solar-powered roof tiles at CES 2025 . These innovative tiles are designed to be durable, weather-resistant, and visually appealing, offering a sustainable energy solution for homes.
Jackery’s solar roof tiles are a fantastic look at the future of residential energy solutions, but you don’t need an entire roof to start building a solar project of your own. Flux provides a robust platform for designing and prototyping everything from small-scale off-grid systems to more complex solar infrastructure.
CES 2025 was a showcase of incredible hardware innovation, with AI, sustainability, and wearable technology taking center stage. From Halliday’s AI Glasses reimagining wearable computing to Honda’s EV demonstrated the potential of eco-friendly personal transport, the future of hardware is here.
