# Vibrating Navigational Belts The 'Ubivade' Navigational System Offers Passive Instruction By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-09-20 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/navigational-system References: [geeky-gadgets](http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/ubivade-navigation-smart-belt-hits-kickstarter-20-09-2016/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1018374213/ubivade-vibrating-navigation-belt) Providing an enhanced way of getting around, the 'Ubivade' navigational system is a vibrating belt that allows users to experience more without worrying about constantly checking their phone. Available now for preorder on Kickstarter where the belts are purported to be delivered in February 2017, the 'Ubivade' belt features a sophisticated vibro-tactile navigation system. This means that it will offer vibrational feedback to let users know which way to go rather than have them check their phone or smartwatch. The 'Ubivade' belt is an exceptional product option for those that ride a motorcycle or simply want to experience a new city or their own town with a stronger focus on being carefree. Because the 'Ubivade' navigational system tracks your every move, you never have to worry about going the wrong way as long as you respond to the vibrations accordingly. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Vibro-tactile Navigation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop wearable devices that incorporate vibro-tactile feedback to provide navigational instructions without the need for visual cues. - **Passive Instruction:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design intuitive navigation systems that offer guidance and direction through subtle and non-intrusive means like vibrations. - **Hands-free Navigation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create hands-free navigation solutions that allow users to navigate their surroundings without the need to constantly check their phones or smartwatches. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Wearable Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the integration of vibro-tactile navigation systems in wearable technology devices such as smartwatches, fitness bands, or even clothing. - **Travel and Tourism:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop navigational solutions specifically designed for travelers and tourists, offering them a carefree and immersive exploration experience. - **Motorcycle Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative navigation systems tailored specifically for motorcycle riders, enhancing their safety and convenience on the road. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Neck-Worn Navigational Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loovic.md) - [Vibrational Gamer Belts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haptic-audio-wearable.md) - [Belt-Based Wearable Sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vital-belt.md) - [Screen-Free Wandering Navigation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/screenfree-wandering.md) - [Haptic Stone-Like Compasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terra-compass.md) - [Audio-Detecting Haptic Vests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skinetic.md) - [Heat-Navigating Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wati.md) - [Wearable Communication Vests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inxects-vest.md) - [All-in-One GPS Guide Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-gps-guide.md)
