Consumer Electronics Daily News Sunday, January 8, 2017 8 ECOVACS ROBOTICS EXPANDS ITS FLOOR CLEANING ROBOT LINE TO SUPPORT CATEGORY DEMAND ECOVACS Robotics, the premier devel- oper and manufacturer of home service robots, expands its DEEBOT™ floor cleaning robot line with new products and new technology. These new products were designed in direct response to con- sumer feedback, and to help retailers expand their growing home robotics cat- egory. "Today's consumers are looking for cleaning innovations designed to enhance their ever-evolving lifestyle," said Mike Hecht, Executive Director, ECOVACS Robotics. "The ECOVACS Robotics lineup offers the connectivity and functionality to help users maxi- mize their time and efficiency. Whether it's turning to our robust portfolio to achieve spotless windows or to main- tain an orderly home with truly clean floors, ECOVACS Robotics is bringing the best cleaning solutions to the fore- front." The new ECOVACS Robotics DEE- BOT floor cleaning robots were devel- oped for consumers who want the home that cleans itself sans the laborious time and effort. ECOVACS Robotics under- stands that cleaning needs vary, and that there are multiple types of floor surfaces in today's homes: hardwood, tile, linoleum, area rugs and carpet. In recog- nition of these facts, many innovative and technological advancements have been incorporated into the DEEBOT offerings. The DEEBOT Slim (DA60) is a featured product that has been designed to clean bare floors and the common debris found there – pet hair, crumbs, etc. DEEBOT Slim, as its name implies, is a low-profile robotic vacuum that stands only 2.2 inches tall, so it easily cleans under furniture where other robots can't. DEEBOT Slim is simple to operate and maintain, cleans bare floors effectively with no- tangle direct suction, and can mop too. The DEEBOT Slim can clean up to and around stairs, detect objects in its path, recharge itself and per- form scheduled cleaning once per day even if nobody is at home. The recent introduction of the DEE- BOT M81 provides consumers the abili- ty to clean both bare floors and carpet, and the ability to damp mop bare floor surfaces. The DM81 features four clean- ing modes that allow users to pick the best option that accommodates their cleaning needs. The modes include: Auto, Spot, Edge and Intensive. The Advanced Wet/Dry Mopping System has an integrated water reservoir that auto- matically dampens half of the Advanced Wet/Dry cleaning pad to remove dirt and debris, while the other half then dries the floor. The introduction of the DEEBOT M88 is a connected multi- function floor cleaning robot with a five-stage cleaning system that sweeps, lifts, vacuums, mops and dries in one pass. It's designed with a sleek white exterior and cutting-edge smart features for a simple home cleaning solu- tion. The DM88 features Smartphone Control, so that users have access to manage this DEEBOT when at home or away. The DM88 can be scheduled to automatically clean twice per day at a specific time, for an effortless hands-off approach to cleaning, even if nobody is at home. More DEEBOT products are being showcased at CES 2017. Add sales to your robotics category with ECOVACS Robotics products. Visit ECOVACS Robotics inside the Sands Robotics Marketplace, booth #42351. MAKE YOUR DRIVING EXPERIENCE SAFER WITH MIRROR HUD By Kolya Chen, Product Manager, E- Lead Electronics E-Lead Electronics is an experienced car electronics supplier that has worked with car manufacturers from all over the globe. Located in central Taiwan, we have been working on head-up dis- play technology for many years. Our head-up display products for OE manu- facturers include both windshield-type and combiner-type head-up displays. Our cutting-edge technology has amazed well known car manufacturers, including but not limited to Toyota, Nissan, Volkswagen, etc. We are also one of the only companies that owns augmented reality head-up display technologies. With the experience of working with large car manufacturers under our belts, we know how to offer an outstanding product that provides both safety and reliability. Now, we would like to introduce an alternative to OE-Type head-up display: The Mirror HUD. With our steady progression into the Information Age, smartphones have gained much popularity. There doesn't seem to be a place and time where peo- ple are not glued to their screens. However, using a smartphone in a car is not only dangerous, but illegal in several countries. Unfortunately, this is not enough for drivers to keep their eyes on the road, as accidents due to distracted driving continue to climb. Therefore, we developed a device called the Mirror HUD that allows you to access information on your smart- phone while keeping your eyes on the road. We made it our top priority to make the Mirror HUD as accessible and convenient as possible. It was very important for us that the Mirror HUD was universal, which means that it can be installed into any vehi- cle and is compatible with almost every smartphone. Furthermore, you can install it yourself by watching and following the steps in our installation video on our website. There is no need to download additional software or apps into your smartphone to use the Mirror HUD; all you need to do is plug and play! Transform your car into a futuristic vehicle by projecting transparent virtual images through your windscreen from your phone. By mirroring the screen of your phone on a transparent screen in front of you, gone are the days of expensive in-car infotainment pack- ages. With the Mirror HUD, you can access all the information you require without taking your eyes off the road. The Mirror HUD, as its name suggests, projects whatever is on your phone on a transparent display. With amazing resolu- tion and full vibrant color, the image can also be rotated from horizontal to vertical, depending on your preference. The brightness of the projection ensures you'll see the image even in the harshest of sunlight. Because of its countless fea- tures, it is difficult to explain just how amazing the Mirror HUD is. That's why we invite you to come to booth #2301 where you can see it for yourself! For more information, visit www .e-lead.com, call 323.316.0231 or stop by booth #2301. ENHANCE YOUR NEXT OUTDOOR ADVENTURE WITH 'OPTIMIZED FOR OUTDOORS' CONSUMER TECH PRODUCTS During the past year, Scosche has contin- ued to expand its lineup of rugged, made- to-be-taken and used outdoors products. These products are created with the out- door enthusiast in mind. Its product designers and engineers take their inspi- ration from its Southern California roots and the diverse climates and geographies that are an integral part of Scosche's home area. The Optimized for Outdoors ® col- lection of products fit perfectly with the life and activities of outdoor adventur- ers. Start with the versatile, award-win- ning BoomBottle ® family of rugged waterproof wireless portable speakers. It's an assorted family of products that starts with the top-of-the-line BoomBottle+, followed by the new BoomBottle H2O+ and finishes up with the just-released BoomBuoy. These ter- rific products all have a rugged exterior design, long rechargeable battery life, waterproof buoyant construction, make great travel companions and oh yes, they sound amazing too! Each has a set of unique features. Some can dual pair with a second speaker for true left/right channel stereo sound and have selec- table EQ functionality. Two can be mounted on a tripod or other 1/4-inch threaded mount and they also fit into bike water bottle cages and cup holders. Take them to the snow, the beach, the desert or any envi- ronment you might wish to visit. Outdoor adventures typically require power; power to charge the mobile devices we now carry with us everywhere we go. To meet this need, Scosche offers the GoBat™ 6000 and GoBat 12000 Rugged Portable Backup Batteries. These two are virtually inde- structible. They have been military-drop tested, run over by vehicles, even blast- ed by explosives and they still worked just fine. Now that's tough. They are IP68 rated waterproof and dustproof and have advanced circuitry to charge your devices at the fastest rate possible for that device. The Optimized for Outdoors collec- tion is rounded out by the super-rugged charge and sync cables for mobile devices. They are over- built to withstand harsh treatment and the weather. Some even have LED charge indicators. They are available in a variety of sizes and colors and the Strikeline™ Rugged LED series even comes with a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Scosche also makes a line of Scosche Realtree ® Xtra products that are designed with the outdoorsman in mind. This line includes speakers, backup bat- teries, cables, chargers, mounts and more – all bearing the distinctive Realtree Xtra camo pattern.
