NavJacket from O’neill integrates GPS
Published on December 13th, 2007 in gps navigation, misc news
O’Neill Europe and MyGuide just announced the launch of the NavJacket - a navigation tool integrated into a Gore-Tex jacket.
NavJacket is designed to help you navigate through the mountains with a digital flexible display on the sleeve and the audio instructions in the hood. Apparently you’ll even be able to enter your desired location and the jacket will guide you down the slopes (how does it know where the cliffs are?) in addition giving you details about your speed, distance, route, and weather forecasts too.
NavJacket will also connect to your phone through which it can make available 3D views of the resorts as well as points of interest throughout the resort. Furthermore, an additional feature will be the friend finder function, which will allow you to either track down friends, or choose to follow their path through the slopes.
The NavJacket will be available as part of the O’Neill Fall/Winter 2008/09 collection and will be tested the coming winter season on selected areas in the Alps.
If you can’t wait for the jacket you should look into the GPS navigation system for skiers we talked about couple of months ago.. via
