The Vie (pronounced vee, French word for life), designed by Du Tran Nguyen, is a sports glove concept that incorporates today’s latest technologies to enhance sports, active and social lifestyles via an innovative human-machine-interface. In addition to being a typical health monitor, The Vie also uses GPS technology to map jog routes, rendezvous with friends, send out emergency distress beacons and more. The Vie has a clean dynamic design; the lines flow with the contours of the hand to feel purposeful and ergonomic. To keep the sport natural and dynamic, the input is made via a unique, single hand control interface. It is made from waterproof, windproof and breathable fabric with injection moulded EVA housing.  The Vie uses GPS to map users’ journeys, allowing them to plan routes in advance, or discover and record routes for future use. Use it as a personal trainer, speed up running as it vibrates faster, cooldown when it slows. Users can add friends, or VIEmates, and join an online community to compare results, share training programs, safe routes etc. All this can be then transferred via Bluetooth. To encourage camaraderie within the community, the act of adding friends to your VIEmates is the good old fashioned way, by shaking hands. If rendezvousing with a friend was part of the program, shaking their hand indicates contact has been made and can now train together. This allows users to actively share health status with each other, encourage, assist or even vie against each other. If the user is in danger, they can send a stress beacon in case of emergency to all VIEmates in the vicinity, or even straight to the police depending on urgency. A sign of heart failure automatically sends a SOS to the nearest hospital.
