The latest in safety footwear,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
The worried father hopped a flight to Atlanta from New York where he had been on business to find the incident had been a miscommunication and his son was safe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Days later, the engineer started working on a prototype of Quantum Satellite Technology,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a line of $325 US to $350 adult sneakers that hits shelves next month. It promises to locate the wearer anywhere in the world with the press of a button. A children's line will be out this summer.
It's the latest implementation of satellite-based navigation into everyday life- technology that can be found in everything from cellphones that help keep kids away from sexual predators to fitness watches that track heart rate and distance. Shoes aren't as easy to lose, unlike phones,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], watches and bracelets.
The sneaker beacon is activated when the wearer presses a button on the shoe to activate the GPS. The two silver buttons, one to activate and one to cancel, are inconspicuous near the shoelaces.
The tiny chip is tucked into the bottom of the shoe. Once the button is pressed, the shoe will transmit information until the battery runs out.
Parents who buy the pricey kicks don't have to worry about their kids outgrowing them fast. This fall,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the company is unveiling a plug-and-wear version that allows wearers to remove the electronics module from their old shoes and plug it into another pair of Daniel's sneaks.
While other GPS gadgets often yield spotty results,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Daniel says his company has spent millions of dollars and nearly two years of research to guarantee accuracy. Experts say GPS accuracy often depends on how many satellites the system can tap into. Daniel's shoe and most GPS devices on the market rely on four.
"The technology is improving regularly. It's to the point where you can get fairly good reflection even in areas with a lot of tree coverage and skyscrapers," said Jessica Myers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a spokeswoman for Garmin International Inc., a leader in GPS technology based in Kansas. "You still need a pretty clear view of the sky to work effectively."
Daniel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who wears the shoes when he runs every morning, says he tested the shoes on a recent trip to New Jersey. It tracked him down the Atlantic Coast to the Miami airport and through the city to a specific building.
The company also has put the technology into military boots and is in talks with Colombia and Ecuador, he said.
But retail experts say the shoe might be a tough sale to brand-conscious kids,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"If [parents] can get their kids to wear them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then certainly there is a marketplace. But I think the biggest challenge is overcoming . the cool marketplace,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said Lee Diercks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], managing director of New Jersey-based Clear Thinking Group,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an advisory firm for retailers.
Perceived frontrunner Justin Trudeau made a passionate plea for the party's top job during an event the Liberal Party called a "national showcase" in Toronto on Saturday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
