Fresh from Las Vegas: Our CES 2026 Recap and a First Look at What's Next!

We're back from Las Vegas, and we're absolutely electrified. Our debut at CES 2026 was everything we hoped for and more. The energy on the show floor was incredible, and we were thrilled to connect with so many industry partners, members of the press, and talented bloggers who stopped by our booth.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to experience the PixelMug P1 firsthand. The feedback was unanimous: people are excited about the future of personal, creative technology. And speaking of the future, this trip wasn't just about showing off our flagship product; it was about unveiling a glimpse of what's to come.

Today, we're excited to share that exclusive sneak peek with you, our community.

What We Unveiled: Our Award-Winning P1 and a Look at the Future

The Star of the Show: The PixelMug P1

For our new friends who discovered us at CES, the PixelMug P1 is the world's first smart mug to seamlessly fuse a vibrant LED display directly into a premium ceramic body. The result is a design where pixel art glows through a smooth, pearly ceramic surface, creating a stunning fusion of handmade tradition and modern, playful tech.

It's more than a smart mug that shows temperature, weather, and time—it's an interactive platform for self-expression. It’s this spirit of innovation that resonated with over 2,800+ backers on Kickstarter, helping us raise over $300,000 USD to bring this idea to life.

A Glimpse into the Future: Our New Prototypes

Building on the success of the P1, we also gave attendees a sneak peek at what's coming next:

1. The PixelMug S1: Bigger, Bolder, Brighter
We know many of you crave more capacity. The PixelMug S1 is our answer. This prototype features a durable stainless steel body and a larger 350ml capacity. We're currently deep in R&D, working to perfect the LED display's performance on this new material to ensure it’s just as vibrant as you expect. Stay tuned for more progress updates soon!

2. The Pixel Lamp L1: Your Smart Bedroom Companion
Developed in partnership with leading lighting experts, the Pixel Lamp L1 is our first step beyond the mug. It’s a complete upgrade to the traditional lamp, featuring our signature pixel LED screen for notifications and art, a larger rechargeable battery, and an integrated Bluetooth speaker. Imagine your lamp gently waking you up, displaying the weather, and playing your morning playlist. It's the centerpiece of an intelligent smart bedroom and sleep experience.

Introducing "Bubble": The AI-Powered Heart of Our Ecosystem

Hardware is only half the story. At CES, we also demonstrated our next-generation IoT platform app, codenamed "Bubble."

Bubble: A smart, AI-driven bot app that connects to your devices and supports advanced interactions.

This app is a quantum leap forward. Here’s what makes it so powerful:

  • Bot-Based Interaction: Control your devices as naturally as talking to a friend. Simply send a command like, "Set my lamp to a relaxing sunset theme," and our AI bot will handle the rest.
  • Group Chat & Shared Control: Invite family members into a "group chat" for your home's devices, allowing for multi-user interaction and shared creative experiences.
  • Multi-Device Connectivity: Bubble is designed to be the central hub that seamlessly links and manages all your PixelMug smart devices at once.
  • Open API for Developers: We believe the most exciting ideas will come from you. Bubble will feature a flexible Open API, giving developers the tools to connect our hardware to anything they can imagine.

While the "Bubble" app is still in active development, the AI function demos we showed at CES were a huge success. We expect to bring it to you very soon.
