- Aurzen ZIP is the world’s first pocketable tri-fold projector.
- It boasts a 720p projection capability via DLP Microchip.
- The battery is a 5000 mAh unit and can last for 1.5 hours on continuous usage.
CES is usually full of really cool gadgets, and we’ve already talked about innovations from LG and Halliday in this year’s CES. Well, meet another quirky gadget – the Aurzen ZIP which is a tri-fold projector that, well, folds thrice, is pocketable, and can stream content wirelessly.
Aurzen showcased the new ZIP tri-fold projector at CES 2025. It’s a projector that folds thrice and uses a DLP Microchip (digital light processing) to project a 720p image. For those unaware, DLP is used in 3D Printers and digital signs. The projector uses an HDMI dongle called CastPlay to stream wirelessly without the need of an HDMI cable.

The device can project a minimum picture size of 20 inches and a maximum of 80 inches . It can also connect to your device to mirror it or watch videos. The base of the projector is magnetic, which makes sticking the projector much easier. The overall brightness is on the lower side though at 100 lumens .
The projector also has built-in ToF autofocus and can automatically switch to portrait or landscape by leveraging the built-in gyro sensor. The 5,000 mAh battery can last 1.5 hours which, for a compact device, is pretty decent. There are power and volume buttons on the left, alongside touch sensitive buttons at the top of the device with up/down, back, and menu functions.
Besides, there’s also an array of small LED lights atop the touch sensitive buttons which probably shows you the remaining battery capacity, pretty cool. The device also has built-in stereo speakers. Aurzen will soon start a Kickstarter campaign for the ZIP portable projector. The price is still unknown but if we had to guess, it should be in the ballpark of $200 – $300.

- Movano is coming out with their new EvieAI coming to their smart rings.
- It is post-trained on 100,000 medical journals, including FDA-approved content cross-referenced from Harvard, UCLA, and Mayo Clinic.
- The AI chatbot achieves high accuracy rates and doesn’t provide answers to unknown topics.
Nearly every device at CES has AI labeled all over it, given its flexibility of use and marketability. But its incoherence and the room for hallucinations make it a poor choice for medical advice. So, companies stray away from it because of the major repercussions it can have on someone’s health and life. But smart ring maker Movano is coming out with their new health and wellness LLM called EvieAI, offering more reliable medical advice.

So EvieAI will only be pulling its information from this data set reducing its chances of hallucinations. The results speak for themselves as the answers from the AI chatbot are 99% accurate. That’s also because EvieAI confirms whether your query tracks with the Movano’s training data. The AI will also follow industry-standard encryption methods. Since chats are deleted periodically, no one will be able to track them back to the users.
Movano’s CEO John Mastrototaro also mentioned that the AI doesn’t shy away from saying no. If you ask anything related to a topic it hasn’t been trained upon, “it’s not going to tell you because it doesn’t have any information about that” according to Mostratotaro. He further added, “I think that it’s okay to say no if you don’t know the answer to something,”
Movano has recently re-released their Evie Ring to customers which addresses feedback on sleep data and heart rate accuracy. The company has also received FDA clearance for the EvieMED ring which is aimed at remote monitoring and clinical trials of patients. The beta version of the EvieAI will be rolling out starting January 8th to current Evie Ring users in their companion app.
Movano is trying to do something that can change the way people perceive AI. Training their LLM on just medical journals will for sure improve the accuracy of results, and they are going to be better than other general AI models. However, even Doctors coincide with each other on the recent development of new techniques and technologies. So its accuracy and how correct it stands with its answers will be interesting to see.
