In Pictures: Best of 2012 CE Week

A look at the coolest products and concepts coming out of this year's CE Week.

Variable Technology’s Node Scanner

Trekkers, take note: Now you can be just like Mr. Spock (absent the Vulcan Mind Meld and Pon Farr)! Variable Technology’s Node Scanner ($150) gets its inspiration from the Tricorder scanner attachment used in the original Star Trek series. The Node connects via Bluetooth to an app on your iPad or iPhone; and it's modular, so you can attach various sensors ($25 to $50 each) to your phone or tablet within seconds. Currently available are add-on sensors for climate conditions and temperature, plus an LED flashlight attachment. The Node itself includes an gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer.
