CES 2015: The weird and the wacky (TechRepublic)

3D printed spider dress

Need we say more? Designer Anouk Wipprecht updated her slightly freaky spider dress and integrated it with several technologies leveraging Intel's Edison chip. The spider leg epaulettes are now roboticized and if someone gets too close, they react.

Quitbit

Put this one under the useless gadget category. If you're ready to quit smoking, this lighter is intended to help you. But it doesn't really do anything other than track how many times you light up each day. You can set it to not allow you to light a cigarette if you exceed your preset number. But then, that's what matches are for.

Consider this a fancy alarm clock. Oregon Scientific has developed a gadget, also known as an alarm clock, that claims to monitor your sleepwaves and raise and lower the volume of its "brainwave embedded sounds" to help you sleep better and wake up easier.

Smart dog collars

No gallery of CES 2015 weirdness would be complete without the Belty. Because, guess what? This motorized belt is intended to make you more active by vibrating if you've been sedentary too long. And if you indulge in a big meal, Belty will automatically loosen to make you more comfortable as your waistline expands. Think of it as an ugly virtual fitness coach that doesn't judge too harshly.

Muse brainwave sensing headband

Want to have your brainwaves monitored? (Who doesn't, right?) Buddha blended with Big Brother is the first thing that comes to mind with Muse, a brainwave sensing headband spotted at CES. While we have no idea whether this works or not, the concept is a bit far fetched. Muse advertises that it can train your brain to to give you a calmer, more composed mind
