"The child is lost!" These two words can instantly destroy a calm and comfortable world, filling it with anxiety and fears. This happens even if we are talking about an incident that happened far away, with strangers.
Fortunately, modern technology offers hope that such problems will soon be left behind. And this hope has serious grounds. Shoes with a GPS navigator can find all those who are lost. No wonder she is also called “smart.”
Smart shoes are not science fiction!
Navigator boots have already played an important role in the life of an 8-year-old girl. This happened at the end of January 2019 in the Moscow region. The Klyazma Forest Park did not have time to wait for rescuers and volunteers to appear. Little Masha was found by her aunt, with whom the girl went for a walk.
Usually in such cases they say: lucky! But in this case we are not talking about luck or a miracle.
IMPORTANT! The parents made sure that the child went for a walk in boots with a GPS navigator. Thanks to them, the girl was found quite quickly.
What are GPS boots?
“Smart shoes” are a sign of the 21st century.
REFERENCE! The author of the idea was the young English designer Dominic Wilcox.
Externally, these boots are practically no different from the others.. And they owe their capabilities to the “stuffing”.
- GPS device performs the main function of special shoes. Thanks to him, you can plot a route or determine where the shoes and their owner are at the moment. The shoe's software is located in the heel, between the sole and the insole.
- Battery (like the one in our mobile phones) is a power source for an electronic device. It is also located under the insole.
- LED light bulbs on the toes of shoes are a kind of pointerwho will mark the right path.
- USB cable, placed under the lining at the back of the shoe, makes it possible to fill the memory of the shoe. This can be done after connecting the shoes to the computer.
- Small color label, attached in the heel area and extending outward from the boot, not only helps to tighten the shoe. Simultaneously This is the antenna that makes the shoe function.
IMPORTANT! Today, manufacturers produce not only products with GPS. Another new product is insoles with the same functions. For use, they can be inserted into any shoes.
Who needs these boots?
We have already talked about how, thanks to “smart” shoes, we were able to quickly find a child. Her aunt simply found the shoes by opening a special application on her smartphone. But children are not the only potential consumers of such products.
Smart shoes will benefit many categories.
- Pensioners, suffering from memory loss. Relatives are overwhelmed trying to find the grandmother who went out to buy bread and disappeared.
- Touriststraveling to unfamiliar places. It is worth thinking about the route in advance, and then entering it into the navigator’s memory. Many models can tell you about a route deviation, just like their car counterparts do.
- Extreme sports enthusiasts and outdoor enthusiasts. Even the most experienced of them are not guaranteed against getting lost in unfamiliar terrain. It will be much easier to help them out if you know exactly the coordinators who will indicate the shoes.
