I have written about a number of electric bikes in the last few months including fat tire mountain bikes, portable folding electric bikes, etc. But none of them had so-called 'futuristic look'.

Everything about this bike is of high quality, including its carbon fiber wheels that fit very well in this bike that has a carbon fiber frame as well.

Slow Dance Frame by Wonder Machines
What if you could see things in slow motion right in front of your eyes? Well, this gadget called Slow Dance Frame from Wonder Machines makes objects slow, at least make them look slow. Slow Dance is a frame kit with a copper coil that makes real objects appear to move in slow motion. It is not magic or something. It takes advantage of the limits of human visual perception (optical illusion) to make things slower. In reality, the objects inside the frames will be affected by the exact same amount of gravity and other forces as we do.
Slow Dance Frame kit is easy to use, just insert any object like a flower or a bird feather in the clips that are inside the frame, plug the device to a power outlet and you will see the spectacle immediately.
Different modes allow you to cycle through different dance patterns, some slow
Rotofarm – A NASA Inspired Smart Indoor Garden
Rotofarm is a digital indoor garden that is designed from high technology to make it easy for planting vegetables, microgreens, and herbs. The gadget was founded by Toby Farmer, the founder of Bace. This device was designed to help homeowners who do not have space to plant their fresh herbs and greens in their backyard. Rotofarm has a circular design that allows you to grow plants in a small area. Plants grown in this device tend to grow faster as compared to those planted in the yard because gravity has less effect on them. The effect of gravity is minimal to the pant because the device rotates every hour.
Main Features of Rotofarm
- Light Settings
The indoor garden kit comes with an app that you use it to adjust light settings. This is because various plants need various light rays and wavelengths. The light is always placed at the center to ensure

This is by far the best and the most futuristic gadget I found at CES 2020. The best thing is, the Magic Table is not just a concept, it is indeed available to buy. Magic display has a touch screen, powered by AI and sensors integrated inside it.
Currently, there are two options in terms of display size, 55" and 76". The magic table can connect to your smartphone or PC. It has 4K resolution. One of the coolest things is its machine learning part.
You can train the system with some objects, say a car and when you place the car on the table, the sensors automatically pick up the features and the exact position of the object and perform some cool actions like the ones you see from the video below. The display can be embedded on a wall too.

Deepmag – Wireless Powered Levitating Light
This gadget is a levitating light by Deepmag, the company that specializes in magnetic levitation and electromagnetic direct-drive technologies. Deepmag light has two important features. It receives power wirelessly and levitates magnetically upside down. Read it again, it is upside down. It is the coolest table lamp you can ever get.
The lamp has an ergonomic wooden body that looks stunning on any table. The wireless power can be harnessed up to 10 watts which is not bad at all. It has a touch control and fall-proof design. Fall proof design means, if you unplug the lamp from a power source, the bulb, instead of falling down, gets attached to the lamp itself. This is just crazy.
The lamp is not available in the market yet. As I spoke to one of their team, they said that the levitating lamp could hit Indiegogo by the end of Q2 2020 (June - July)
MetaFly – A Cool Ornithopter that You can Own
You might be knowing drones but do you know what an Ornithopter is? If no, check out this super cool gadget named Meta Fly which is very similar to a drone that flies in the sky but its an ornithopter, that means, it is like a flying insect that can maneuver itself. Sounds amazing but does it actually work? Watch the video below and see for yourself. As per the manufacturer, this drone-like creature is a biomimetic controllable creature that can fly in the sky for around 8 minutes on a single charge. The range is about 100 meters which is definitely less but since this gadget is being used as a toy, that should be fine. The drone is very similar to a dragonfly both in terms of look and functionality. It is invented by 'BionicBird' which had previously brought out another bird looking drone in late 2014.
Metafly is
