With built-in GPS so you don't lose a sock
the adventurous tourist loses importance compared to the technological tourist . Avant-garde and modern travelers prefer technology to durability . Packing the suitcase turns us into conjurers: cables here, tablets there, power converters on the other side... it is undoubtedly a highly tactical job and doing it well requires a dose of wisdom.
Today to travel we need our gadgets , that is to say, electronic toys and their multiple parts, which are as important as the right pants for the weather where we are going, or chic shoes that are as comfortable as they are. Aware of the importance that technology is acquiring, the big luggage brands have just introduced several products to make traveling easier.
The company Bluesmart has been the first to bring to market suitcases with GPS controlled from the phone . Its application allows you to know exactly where your luggage is at all times. The suitcase also has a USB port that allows you to recharge the battery of any electronic device for one hour.
The companies Samsung and Samsonite have just announced that next year they will launch a line of smart bags with GPS , anti-tampering alerts and warnings in case someone wants to take advantage of them. Samsonite's new app called GeoTrakR works through the LugLoc system, which helps track the suitcase.
andiamo will present this year a luggage with wifi hotspot, battery charger and GPS. Rimowa , a German company, joins the development of the smart suitcase with a line called **Bag2Go** together with Airbus and Deutsche Telekom. The new bags, on sale at Christmas, they work through the cargo sensors of the Airbus aircraft to identify where they are. “Adding electronic capability to suitcases is innovation and evolution. The goal is to improve the travel experience”, a company executive explained to us.
BAGS THAT MAKE THEIR CHECK-IN AND MOVE THEMSELVES THROUGH THE AIRPORT
But this is only the beginning, Samsonite is developing, together with the airlines, the smart suitcase capable of checking itself in . When the traveler arrives at the airport with his suitcase, it reports from his "technological brain" which airline you fly with, your destination and weight . Samsung is also experimenting with bags capable of self-checking in and tracking you when you're at the airport. Yes, you read correctly the robot suitcase that follows you without being dragged is the future . A technology still in its infancy that promises to greatly speed up the endless queues at airports.
Another product to be added to the luggage of the future is a active battery for the lock that makes the zipper disappear inwards and appears when a card is passed in front. Another gadget is the ChargerLeash, a device that informs you of if you have forgotten your charger at the hotel or airport.
There's no doubt that these products will make travel and phone bills more expensive, but isn't that wonderful?
