Energous has a solution for wirelessly charging wearables
Energous' wireless charging tech WattUp made a splash at CES 2015, promising to charge your devices from 15 feet away with an "energy router." After winning two Best of CES awards, though, it dropped off the radar. And as is so often the case with CES innovations, a year has passed and there's nothing with the tech inside on the shelves. This year, it's back at the trade show explaining why that's happened, and how things will change in 2016.

And in order to do that, they need to have power. Energous WattUp' wireless charging solution delivers that power wirelessly, so not only do you never have to charge up your laptop or tablet, you might not ever need to replace the batteries in your smart smoke detector either. That's just one of many reasons Energous walked home with a Best of CES award in the Connected Home category as well as one for Disruptive Tech.

And one that can do so, well, wirelessly? If that sounds like a pipe dream, well, it isn't. Energous' WattUp solution promises to do exactly that. No longer would you have to plug in your laptop or charge up your smartwatch when you're in the house. Seems like an innovation winner to us.
