From a smart toilet to ‘Shazam for Food’: CES unveils new connected appliances

Samsung introduced the fourth generation of the Family Hub smart refrigerator it debuted here in 2016. As before, this fridge (price and ship date not yet announced) features a 21.5-in. touchscreen, an array of apps running on Samsung’s Tizen software, and cameras in the door to show the fridge’s contents.
But those cameras can now see for themselves, applying image recognition to detect what’s in your fridge and then suggest a matching recipe. It has some limitations—the vegetable drawer’s location keeps it out of view, and a demo Family Hub unit labeled a bell pepper “paprika.” But it’s still remarkably close to the “Shazam for food” plotline of HBO’s Silicon Valley comedy.
