Practical Wearable Air Conditioners

Sony's Gadget is a Solution to Extreme Heat in the Summer Time

— July 26, 2019 — Lifestyle
Sony attempts to alleviate the unbearable bouts of heat that consumers experience on the regular during the summer months through a wearable air conditioner. The gadget is ultra-packable and compact. It goes by the name of 'Reon Pocket' and is Bluetooth-connected.

The compact wearable air conditioner can be inserted into the pocket of a special undershirt. The temperature can be adjusted via a connected app — which is available for both iOS and Android platforms, assuring that users have reached homeostasis at any time of the day. In addition, Sony's device has a battery life of 24 hours. Moreover, the wearable air conditioner also weighs only three ounces.

Sony has also created a 'Lite' version of its original tech-focused device.

3. Travel and Tourism - Ultra-portable personal air conditioning technology can target travelers and tourists who need to cool down in hot and humid climates, or individuals who want to avoid high air conditioning bills in hotel rooms.
