The Future of GPS
We are already working on the GPS products of the future and some of these items ar much closer to being reality than you may think. With the reduction in size of microchips and components, and the development of flexible printed circuit boards we can now begin to design gps tracking devices that are almost unoticeable in todays hectic lifestyles. Coupled with the improved efficiency and reduced size of battery technology, the doors of enterprise are openning much wider in this field.
BodyBug - GPS wrist bands
We are currently developing a range of battery-powered, recharchable waterproof GPS wristbands for the tracking of the fashionable select amongst us. This type of product will suit children of all ages, teenagers and young adults and even the elderly and vulnerable. Our aim is to move away from the "box on your wrist" image of most current personal trackers!. lead time for this device is expected july 2009.
BodyBug - Trackable clothing
This is merely a slighlty advanced version of the Wrist band concept. The gps device (Bug) is printed onto a flexible circiut board and sewn into
the lining of the garment so that the wearer is less likely to feel or be aware of the unit during normal and everyday wear and tear. The garment will be fully machine washable and the Bug inside will be either rechargeable or solar powered, depending upon the model purchased or customers choice.
lead time for this device is expected December 2009.
Body Armour - GPS enabled ballistic and blade proof clothing
Until now, the reluctance to incorporate GPS technology into body armour has been one purely down to "cost". However, we truly believe that if anyone deserves the protection that GPS can provide, its the type of people who are physically required to wear this type of equipment. We are currently working with a partner to develop the Velo into this type of product and to have it powered by solar material manufactured into the garment itself.
