There have been a number of strange gadgets and strange happenings occurring at the annual CES tradeshow in the past, but no one has ever brought a yacht there.
Well, until now.
Furrion Design debuted the first yacht to ever grace CES at this week’s tradeshow in Las Vegas with its Adonis smart luxury marine craft. Not only is it the first time a yacht has been brought to CES, but in making the trek, it apparently broke the record for the largest marine vessel to move on land.
The 78-foot customized Numarine yacht is a concept marine vessel featuring audiovisual electronics, smart kitchen appliances, smart home devices and an artificial intelligence assistant called Angel. This assistant can deliver news and weather, order food from the kitchen, control music or handle internet searchers. The AI uses facial recognition technology to learn personal preferences, allowing it to suggest new destinations, restaurants, music choices or outfits.
The Adonis yacht includes smart mirrors with interactive displays where travelers can receive news, schedules or social media updates as well as watch TV and more. The smart mirror, along with the Angel AI assistant, work in offline mode with information pulled and stored automatically.
Other features include an ultra-slim HDTV with built-in sound bar featuring vibration technology to adjust to waves, a drone and drone port housed on the top deck that can be deployed by either Angel or passengers, and surround cameras to keep track of what’s happening around the ship.
The Adonis is currently docked in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center in booth no. 7914.
