__Bionic Bird__ Adults of a certain age may fondly remember the [Tim Bird](http://www.amazon.com/Schylling-NTN-Tim-Bird/dp/B000ELORZO), a colorful toy birdie that flew circles with the help of a wind-up motor. The [Bionic Bird](http://mybionicbird.com) is its offspring. Made by the grandson of the guy who invented the original, the Bluetooth-enabled flyer can be guided by smartphone. $117

__Schlage Sense__ Home security vet Schlage (rhymes with Hague) released a Bluetooth bolt of its own this year, joining Kwikset's Kevo and other app-controlled smartlocks. The [Sense](http://ces.schlage.com/) doesn't raise the bar much—like other locks, you can add and delete access codes and check the status—but it does offer integration with Apple's HomeKit and Siri. We're mostly psyched because Schlage makes some seriously tough and reliable locks. Price TBD.

__Mercedes Benz F 015__ This self-driving car makes it clear: It is on like *Discs of Tron*. With a body made of a carbon-fiber/plastic blend, [Benz's concept car](https://www.mercedes-benz.com/en/mercedes-benz/innovation/research-vehicle-f-015-luxury-in-motion/) looks impossibly space-aged and sleek.

__Sony NW-ZX2 Hi-Res Walkman__ The [newest addition](http://store.sony.com/128-gb-walkman-hi-res-digital-music-player-zid27-NWZZX2/cat-27-catid-ESP-Portable-Electronics) to the venerable Walkman lineup sports a 4-inch screen and runs Android, but this ain't no phone. It's all about the audio. Not only does it play 192kHz/24-bit FLAC, DSD, Apple Lossless, and pretty much any audio format, it will also upscale your MP3s. It has Wi-Fi, NFC, and Bluetooth capabilities. It also costs more than $1,100.

__Samsung JS9500 SUHD 4K TV__ It doesn't matter whether these curvy 65-, 78-, or 88-inch [Samsung sets](http://www.samsung.com/us/news/24393) are powered on or off—they still look beautiful.
