The Arrow Gas Mask is an innovative rescue apparatus that [protects your eyes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucyd-armor) and your lungs and takes a load off of the stress in your head by helping you to seek out the nearest exit safely. This invention is the result of a collaboration between six designers including professors Jeon Sung-su and Kim Ki-Pil from the Jeju National University. The device employs Ubiquitous Sensor Network technology to map out means of egress through rooms and hallways and presents its user with a [glowing green pointer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homing-compass), projected onto the floor before him. The Arrow Gas Mask also integrates RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) to communicate with rescuers outside. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Smart Safety Gear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced safety gear that uses technology to enhance protection and guide users in emergency situations. - **Ubiquitous Sensor Network:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create new applications for Ubiquitous Sensor Network technology, such as navigation systems for rescue operations in hazardous environments. - **RFID Integration:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the integration of RFID technology in safety equipment to improve communication and coordination between users and rescuers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Safety Equipment Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop cutting-edge safety equipment that incorporates advanced technologies to enhance user protection and effectiveness in emergency situations. - **Navigation Systems:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design navigation systems specifically tailored for use in emergency scenarios, leveraging Ubiquitous Sensor Network technology for accurate mapping and guidance. - **RFID Solutions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Provide innovative solutions in the RFID industry, focusing on improving communication and coordination between devices and users in emergency situations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Eye-Controlled Rescue Helmet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/argus-ar.md) - [AR-Enabled Ski Rescue Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/argus-ar-helmet.md) - [Air-Blowing Face Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-mask.md) - [Aerodynamic Filtration Face Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goa-face-protector.md) - [Air-Controlling VR Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airres-mask.md) - [AR Motorcycle Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ar-motorcycle-helmet.md) - [Connected Emotive Face Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/w3e-mask-expressive-emotion.md) - [Kid-Friendly AR Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ar-helmet.md) - [Wearer-Analyzing Respirators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebcare-mask.md)
