Integrated GPS Shoes by GTXC Though originally made to track patients and kids, we're sure the shoes will be integrated soon with the Nike + Ipod so you can track your run in your personal Google mashup. Or hide it in your wife's purse to see whether she's banging San Francisco's mayor, Gavin Newsom. Or something like that. The system from GTXC has a sophisticated GPS integrated into the shoe, which communicates directly with a satellite, which then relays locations in real-time to their monitoring center and made available via internet or phone. Predetermined geographic areas can also be defined and alerts sent when the person being tracked leaves or enters the area. And don't worry, they already have a product for outdoor activities called the Wearable Caddy.
New Smart GPS Shoes
Manisha Kanetkar - Thursday, 1 February 2007
Keeping track of your loved ones has never been so easy (or so spy-like) with the new Xplorer smart GPS shoes designed by GTXC.
The company boasts the shoes incorporate the smallest, most powerful and robust GPS tracking device currently available. GTXC says they are ideal for caretakers of children or the elderly to easily monitor the location of their charges.
So, for example, they can preset perimeters of safe zones or unsafe zones, and then receive mobile phone alerts if a perimeter is breached by the wearer. This is handled by what the company calls its ‘set-it-and-forget-it' Dual GeoFencing feature.
