As it does at this time of the year, Samsung announced the C-Lab incubator project at the 2022 International Consumer Electronics Show with the purpose of evaluating customer responses and furthering the most promising ideas. This year's star project is ZamStar, a combination of guitars and apps designed to make collaboration and learning easier. Other notable projects include an artificial intelligence solution that helps children develop good smartphone habits, and a parenting phone that can detect infant strabismus (crossed eyes) early.
ZamStar består av en applikasjon og en tilpasset gitar kalt ZamString. Tanken er at du kan spille en seksjon på gitaren, legge til effekter og deretter synkronisere med andre musikere rundt om i verden. Dette er åpenbart en kopi av COVID-19 TikTok musikksamarbeidstrenden (husk de hverandre fra begynnelsen av dette året), og ideen er å gjøre musikken din enkel å synkronisere. Samtidig har ZamString-gitaren et gripebrett, som lyses opp av innspillet til sangen, noe som gjør det enkelt for deg å finne ut hvor du skal sette fingrene. Dette er ikke et nytt konsept, men det kan være det første som kombinerer læring og samarbeid.
At the same time, Piloto is what Samsung calls an "artificial intelligence solution to help children cultivate the correct habits of using smartphones." Its purpose is to teach children "self-regulation skills" on smart devices and help them make the right choices. Finally, Innovision is "an eye care system in daily life. There is a nursery mobile phone that can capture suspicious symptoms of strabismus and monitor the baby's visual ability development." This seems to be a smart idea, because the baby naturally looks at the phone. .
In addition to the internal incubator, Samsung's C-Lab also supports nine start-ups, including an AI-based pet biometric solution called Petnow. All these projects will be displayed in their own booths at CES in 2022. So far, Samsung seems to still plan to participate in the event, and has not followed the pace of other exhibitors (Google, Lenovo, Intel, Amazon, Meta, T-Mobile) to cancel.
