Electronic Jacket

It is based on Interactive-Wear’s ‘Know-where concept Jacket‘ with their integrated MP3 player and a Bluetooth mobile phone interface. Thats basically the ’standard’ configuration for a decent Wearable Electronic Jacket (and yes, we still don’t like the integrated MP3 player).

The additional bonus for the io-Jacket is the use of the GPSoverIP function from a German company with the same name. This technology is used to track the movement of trucks of transportation and delivery companies. The GPSoverIP has also the possibility to ’see’ inside buildings where normal GPS does not work. Pretty nice feature. With the service from Vodafone, the Jacket (wearer) can upload in realtime the data (position) and anyone knowing the website can follow in realtime the movement.
