Air conditioning in clothes
Sony, through a 'crowdfunding' campaign, has secured funding that can be used as an air conditioner and heater and that people can carry within their clothes (such as a t-shirt ready for use), to create a wearable device and launch in March 2020. This is the result of a company acceleration project for that device.
As a starting point for Sony's First-Flight page, a collective funding campaign was launched on July 22 to raise money for the project. The company has already raised € 600,000, which exceeds the requested figure of 66,000,000 yen (approximately € 546,000), which allows it to finance its portable capacity. According to the website, this new tool will be available in March next year.
The device already has its name: 'Reon Pocket'. The purpose of the development of this device is to regulate body temperature as opposed to outdoor temperature, in winter and summer, as indicated on the Web. Temperature control can be set between 0 and 45 degrees Celsius.
The device comes in a T-shirt that comes with it, with a pocket on the back, and can be agreed on by mobile via an app. This device is compatible with iOS 13 and Android 8 operators. Its battery lasts for 24 hours and its charge lasts for two hours.
To start using it, the user will need to connect the 'Reon Pocket' terminal to the pocket inside the shirt, which will be connected to the 'smartphone' via Bluetooth. When this happens, people will be able to control their temperature from an exclusive application on their mobile device.
Both air conditioning and heating
The device can be used both as an air conditioner in summer and as a heater in winter. In addition, the user, once wearing a jersey that wears the device, can wear the clothes they want.
But how has Sony managed to work independently with its air conditioning? The answer, thanks to the Peltier influence. It is a small electric current, which is a gas to absorb heat, as well as to emit it, if the desire is to heat up. Sony says the Reon Pocket is capable of cooling to 13 degrees and 8 degrees.
Sony has unveiled two models of this device, one basic and the other standard, which can be used in both the basic and automatic models and can also control the amount of air and also have a customizable way.
The design of this device is quite modest. The terminal is not noticeable due to its compact size, as it weighs just 85 grams. This allows the device to be attached to the elastic without noticing anything.
This device is currently in the development and funding stages until the end of the campaign. However, as mentioned, it will be available in March 2020 in Japan.
In terms of price, the cheapest model will cost 12,760 yen, which is 105 euros; the most expensive will cost 16,060 yen for 132 euros. What is the difference from a model? The most expensive, the Reon Pocket Stardard, allows you to control the air temperature and quantity with your hand.
