Bluesmart Luggage
Introducing one of the first truly smart carry-on suitcases, designed for modern travelers who want convenience, security and connectivity. The accompanying app lets you lock and unlock the case from your phone and receive alerts if you become separated from it. Built-in location tracking helps you find the bag if it is rerouted, while an integrated battery provides power to charge phones and other devices on the go. A digital scale built into the case shows the weight instantly, and the app compiles trip data such as miles traveled, airports visited and time spent in each location. Constructed from a three-layer polycarbonate shell, the suitcase balances lightness and strength, and a dedicated, padded compartment protects laptops and tablets. Price: $319.

Connected Cycle Bike Pedal
This innovative pedal transforms a standard bicycle into a connected ride that reports activity and increases security. The pedal alerts you if the bike is moved and provides location tracking so you can find it at any time. It automatically logs speed, route, incline and calories burned for each ride and uploads that data to the cloud for access via a companion smartphone app. The aluminum pedal creates its own network connection without requiring a battery charge or carrying your phone, and it installs in minutes without mechanical skills. Removal is controlled by a coded key for added security. Sold in pairs and offered in several colors; availability this summer. Price: to be determined.

Clio Invisible Speaker
Designed for users who value clean aesthetics, this near‑invisible speaker produces immersive sound from an ultra-thin, transparent curved acrylic membrane. Rather than projecting audio from a traditional cone, the design stimulates the glass surface to emit sound from both sides, creating a more enveloping listening experience. Built-in Bluetooth lets you place the speaker wherever it fits your space, and wireless streaming works with smartphones, tablets and any Bluetooth-enabled device—without the clutter of cables. Price: $349.
