This winter, an innovative glove-tracking solution from 'napo gloves' has been introduced to the market. NAPOSPY is a mobile app that connects stylish touchscreen leather gloves for men. The iOS and Android apps show the current distance from the gloves and if they are lost, saves the last known location and displays it on a map. When a connected pair is within range, you can locate it by initiating a buzzer from the application.
The new functionality is based on a dedicated application for iOS and Android, which uses BLE (Bluetooth low-energy) technology to connect with the gloves.
The company recently launched the innovative product on Kickstarter with the goal of collecting $5,000 to commercialize the prototype.
