The O6 Eyes-Free Remote ($100) is a Click Wheel-like accessory that gives you physical controls you can use with just your thumb. Using a combination of tactile control, speech feedback, and a companion app, it lets you do things like control apps, read and respond to messages, and select music without the need to take your eyes off the road. It doesn't have to be just for the car only. It can also serve as a remote shutter release, a Sonos remote, and even an interface for smart home devices. The limits don't stop there either with new API development it can have endless uses. Check out the video below.

This device is built with privacy as an important priority, the Essential Home Smart Assistant(TBA) is a cloud-connected, but not cloud-focused helper. It runs Ambient OS, a new operating system that runs its AI engine locally to keep from having everything you say blasted over the web. Some of the features it provides is it will automatically find and configure other smart devices around your home, like lamps and speakers, and can even learn your routines, notifying you when you need to leave the house for a meeting or when you've forgotten to turn off a light. A built-in circular display shows you relevant information and provides a physical interface, with clean, well-designed graphics. Other details are scarce, but more should be announced in the coming months.
