It’s almost time for CES 2024, which means there are a lot of companies pre-announcing announcements for the largest electronics show in the northern hemisphere.
LG Electronics is the latest to do so, announcing that at CES 2024, they will dedicate a special exhibition space to LG Labs.
Labs is LG’s R&D crossed with marketing departments that are tasked with showcasing experimental yet innovative products and services (keep in mind these may never come to market).
In 2024, the size of the LG Labs zone has more than doubled compared to CES 2023 and aims to present creative ideas tailored to various lifestyles, and offering diverse customer experiences.
DukeBox by LG Labs
One of the highlights of the exhibition will be the unveiling of the DukeBox by LG Labs, an innovative audio product that seamlessly combines the charm of vacuum tube audio with cutting-edge transparent OLED panel technology.
It aims to deliver a new music experience by combining old-fashioned sensibilities with state-of-the-art technology, seeking to reinvent the depth of audio and video experience with a modernised jukebox.
With front-facing speakers at the bottom and a 360-degree speaker at the top, it offers an immersive audio experience that surrounds the listener.
The transparency of the OLED display can be adjusted, creating a visual effect reminiscent of a vacuum tube audio system enclosed in a transparent glass box. Moreover, the DukeBox is versatile and can be used to enjoy high-quality content such as movies, or even create a cosy fireplace ambiance where the vacuum tube is visible amidst the flickering flames.
Bon Voyage by LG Labs
LG will also unveil an upgraded version of its Bon Voyage by LG Labs, a customised living space designed to extend the at-home lifestyle outdoors. Based on customer feedback, the Bon Voyage has been redesigned to the size of a camping trailer, optimising space utilisation and mobility.
It’s 2 metres wide, 3.8 meters long, and 2.2 meters tall and can be furnished with various furniture and appliances, including a bed, refrigerator, electric stove, water purifier, Styler and shoe care products. Its versatility allows for comfortable enjoyment anywhere, with the ability to be easily parked indoors and connected to a car.
DUOBO by LG Labs
Another exciting product to be showcased is the DUOBO by LG Labs, a capsule coffee machine that extracts two different coffee capsules simultaneously. Inspired by space exploration, the DUOBO was introduced through a crowdfunding campaign in the US.
The exhibition space will feature a large model of the DUOBO together with the space pet character CUBO, creating an inviting atmosphere for global customers.
Other hardware
In addition, LG plans to exhibit other products such as the LG CineBeam Qube, LG Gram Fold, LG XBOOM, LG StanbyMe Go, LG Tiiun Mini and brid.zzz by LG Labs, all born from the company’s fearless approach to taking on bold challenges.
Hyo-eun Kim, vice president and head of Brand Management Division at LG, expressed the company’s commitment to providing global customers with a firsthand experience of the innovative products and services that embody LG Electronics’ ‘Pioneering DNA’.
If you’re heading to CES 2024, you can go visit LG Labs in Las Vegas from January 9-12 at the company’s booth (#16008, Central Hall, Las Vegas Convention Centre).
