The last thing I came across at this year's CES was LUCI, an AI-powered wearable video camera created by OpenInterX for lifelogging and vlogging. Tucked away in a quiet corner of the convention center, LUCI felt like a hidden gem waiting to be uncovered.

It might be my favorite discovery at CES 2025 — and I nearly missed it.

Extended recording time

The LUCI Pin is a compact square pinnable wearable device with an ultra-wide 12MP camera that captures up to 4K video. Unlike other wearables with a built-in camera, like the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, LUCI can shoot video for an extended period of time. By comparison, Meta's smart glasses can only record videos up to 3 minutes long. On the other hand, the LUCI Pin can record or livestream up to 4 hours of video, according to OpenInterX.

That limitation is only a function of the LUCI's battery life. The LUCI can be plugged into any external battery pack and charged while being used for essentially unlimited streaming and recording time.

With this functionality, the LUCI Pin presents itself as a lifelogging device. Whether you're a vlogger or want to track what you do in a typical day without keeping a written journal, that's the audience that OpenInterX appears to be going after. As a parent, it's easy to see the draw of the LUCI Pin. You want to both capture a special moment and enjoy it without having your face looking through a screen.

Processing power

According to OpenInterX founder Shawn Shen, many of the recording limitations in other camera products are essentially due to too much processing happening within the device, which causes the camera's sensors to overheat. The LUCI Pin tackles this issue by processing it on your smartphone or an optional secondary add-on device called the LUCI Hub. The Hub is a square smartphone-sized computer that acts as a dedicated processor, storage, and display for the LUCI Pin. It can also snap to the back of your iPhone via MagSafe, so users don't have to carry two separate devices.

One cool feature demonstrated to me at CES is how the LUCI Hub or LUCI app on your smartphone can immediately sift through your footage and create stylized videos from your content. It's easy to see how TikTok and Instagram Reels creators who would like to quickly upload some of their day before sitting down to edit a long-form video version would love this. 

Now, I did mention that there is AI functionality. AI-powered wearables, especially in pin form, have become a big thing over the past year or so, even though every single product that comes out seems to fail. 

However, the LUCI is different. There's no silly AI assistant to ask questions that could have easily been Googled. Since its main functionality is as a lifelogging camera, the integrated AI features are only there to help creators utilize what they record.

LUCI Pin and LUCI Hub's AI functionality Credit: Mashable

For example, a quick text search for "dog" on your LUCI Hub or smartphone app will pull up all video shots with the LUCI Pin featuring a dog. OpenInterX showed how specific you could get by asking the LUCI Hub what they ate for breakfast yesterday. LUCI could share text describing the meal by simply using the video that the LUCI Pin shot the day before. In another demo, LUCI even reminded the user who they ate that breakfast with.

Privacy features

Privacy concerns always arise with wearable cameras. LUCI addresses this in two ways. First, a small light turns on to let everyone know the device is recording. Second, a physical cover built into the LUCI Pin slides directly in front of the camera lens to ensure nothing is being picked up.

OpenInterX tells me that the LUCI Pin will retail for $99 and that the first LUCI Pins should ship out in the next few months. The LUCI Hub add-on should launch sometime after the LUCI Pin, but there's no confirmed timeframe yet.

If this wearable pin functions as well as it did during the demo, many people will love LUCI.

GET 3 FREE WEEKS: As of Jan. 10, YouTube TV is offering new users a 21-day free trial to test out the live TV streaming service. After that, you'll pay just $59.99 per month for your first three months of the YouTube TV Base Plan — that's $69 in savings.

The fight to make it to the Big Game — aka the NFL playoffs — is arguably more exciting than the actual season finale. But aside from one game airing on Prime Video (the Ravens vs. Steelers on Saturday night), you're going to need local networks. If you already cut the cord on cable, live TV streaming services are the best way to access NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX. The problem is they aren't cheap. That's where this game-changing extended free trial to YouTube TV comes in.

As of Jan. 10, new users can get three weeks of the YouTube TV Base Plan for free. That means you can watch most of this weekend's wildcard games, plus the divisional round and conference title round without spending any money. Once the free trial wraps up, the introductory offer kicks in for $59.99 per month for your first three months. Usually $82.99, that saves you $69 total. The introductory offer is set to expire on Jan. 12, so we recommend securing it stat.

Of course, YouTube TV's Base Plan gets you a whole lot more than just NFL games. It unlocks access to over 100 different live channels, including local broadcast stations, news channels like CNN and Fox News, specialty networks like Discovery and Bravo, sports channels like FS1, ESPN, Golf, and NFL Network, and kids networks like Nickelodeon and Disney. You can check your local lineup before you commit. Unlimited DVR space, special features like Key Plays View, six different household accounts, and three simultaneous streams are also included.

After the promotion period ends, you'll automatically be charged full price, which is now — gulp — $82.99 per month, unless you cancel.

SEE ALSO: I've tested over 59 laptops: this is the best laptop of 2024

This 14-inch laptop is lightweight and portable, making it a great option for students, remote workers, or anyone who needs a reliable computer on the go. It comes with Windows 11 Home pre-installed, has 11 hours of battery life, and has 8GM of RAM and 128GB of storage, which should be more than enough for most everyday tasks (especially if you keep everything in a cloud storage service). You'll also get a one-year subscription to Microsoft 365.

While this computer is three years old (it was originally released in 2022), it still has a lot of great features that make it a worthwhile purchase, especially at this price point.

FREE UBER RIDES: As of Jan. 10, teens who fail their driver's test can get free rides from an Uber Teen account for a limited time.

Opens in a new window Credit: Uber Free Uber Teen Rides Up to six Uber Teen rides at up to $20 per ride Get Deal

Getting your driver's license can be a difficult process. There's all that practice, going out on the road, and figuring out parallel parking, not to mention having to learn how to deal with other drivers. If you or your teen recently took their driver's test and ended up coming away empty-handed without a license, it can be frustrating and demoralizing to have to go through the whole process again. That's why Uber has your back.

As of Jan. 10, Uber is offering free rides for Uber Teen accounts, with up to six rides at up to $20 per ride through March 31. This discount expires 30 days from the day you create your account, and it's only availbale for new Uber Teen users. It doesn't apply to rides requested by adult accounts on behalf of a teen.

This is a great way to help ensure your teen (or you!) has a way to get from point A to point B while waiting in the wings for that coveted license. Though the deal is only good for six rides for a limited time, those expenses can certainly add up, and giving your teens a way to be mobile with safe rides through Uber is still a good idea, especially for members of the family who may not have jobs or have already spent their allowance for the month.

Keep in mind that you'll have to sign them up or have your teen create their own account, so don't just hand over your credentials and leave it at that.

A group of authors, including Ta-Nehisi Coates and Sarah Silverman, alleged in a court filing that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg approved "Meta's torrenting and processing of pirated copyrighted works" to train the company's AI models.

The California filing, which was made public on Wednesday, claims that Zuckerberg supported the use of the LibGen dataset, an archive that originated in Russia and contains a library of pirated books, to train its Llama AI. In a document submitted to the court, Meta admitted that it "removed [ed] all the copyright paragraphs from the beginning and the end" of scientific journal articles, Engadget reported. The suit alleges that this was explicitly done to hide the fact that Meta was using copyrighted materials. 

SEE ALSO: Meta ditches fact-checking for community notes ahead of second Trump term

Clearly, Meta did not want this information to be made public. The Guardian reported that the filing stated: "Media coverage suggesting we have used a dataset we know to be pirated, such as LibGen, may undermine our negotiating position with regulators."

All the while, Meta has been integrating Llama AI further into its apps and services.

This comes just a few days after Zuckerberg announced that he is replacing fact-checkers with Community Notes, lifting prohibitions against some discriminatory and hateful rhetoric on its platforms, and pushing more political content on Instagram and Threads.

Parody accounts on X (formerly Twitter) are about to become more obvious.

SEE ALSO: X's declining user base: Elon Musk's platform projected to lose millions of users in 2025

On Thursday, X's official Safety account shared a post announcing that labels for parody accounts are rolling out.

Tweet may have been deleted

"We’re rolling out profile labels for parody accounts to clearly distinguish these types of accounts and their content on our platform," it reads.

"We designed these labels to increase transparency and to ensure that users are not deceived into thinking such accounts belong to the entity being parodied. Parody labels will be applied to both posts and accounts on X to clearly demonstrate the source of the content you’re seeing. We’ll share details soon on when the label will become mandatory for parody accounts."

Musk announced back in 2022 that parody accounts would need to mark themselves as such or risk a permanent suspension, presumably because such parody was made easier – and harder to distinguish – by the sudden ability for anyone to buy a blue checkmark.
