K-Startup – 44 Companies in One Day at CES 2023 in VR

Last Updated on February 6, 2023 9:42 am by Jeffrey Powers

At CES 2023, I participated in the K-Startup pavilion. I interviewed 50 companies that had great technology ideas and are ready to go globally with it. From gaming chairs, to AI avatars, a company that makes synthetic skin for medical professionals, another that helps you exercise through playing drums, and much more.

I interviewed them all. All 50 companies. And to give you the experience that I had, I put these interviews in Virtual Reality. You can watch through the YouTube app, or put on your own VR headset and experience the interviews like if you were at CES yourself.

Multiple judges, many winners

As with past MIK competitions (like this one), Multiple bloggers and websites from around the world participated to evaluate and pick their own winners. I was joined by these great friends and sites:

• Ubergizmo – SevenPointOne
• Technewszone – Preneu
• GadgetTouch – SEVENPOINTONE 
• Le Café Du Geek – Dongnamrealize 
• Startupworld – Nuvilab
• Aving News – Huenit 

Geekazine K-Startup CES 2023 Top 7 Winner – Pulse9 

Using deep real AI, Pulse9 gives you a virtual figure with full automation technologies. This could be used for videos and promotional materials alike. You can also try on clothes virtually by using their face-swap bot technology.

Their Virtual Idol: Etern!ty is using deep real AI created by Pulse9. They chose 11 men and women for a test out of 101 virtual characters. From this, Etern!ty is a virtual group that has performed online. They have been a part of multiple projects since creation.

Geekazine MIK CES 2023 Winner – MAGO

I chose the company MAGO Gyrospeed as my pick for CES 2023. MAGO is a baseball/softball/cricket pitch trainer. A small handheld unit with a scarf attached. Slip your fingers into the holes, replicating how you hold a ball, then make your best pitch.

The unit uses gyro sensors to determine speed of the pitch. The scarf system not only gives you a visual of your pitch, but also
