A US security company has created a Christmas sweater designed to combat the spread of Covid-19 through physical distancing.
The high-tech garment imagined by SimpliSafe is equipped with an alert device which is triggered when a person is less than 1.80 meters from its wearer.
The system relies on sensors that detect movement, explains
The Independent
.
“What if SimpliSafe could protect your holiday season like it protects your home?
“Asks the company in the video posted on YouTube on Monday to present the product.
This is only a prototype for the moment and has therefore not yet been marketed.
A few copies of the round-neck sweater without the motion detection device were however distributed.
A shrill sound signal in the event of reconciliation
SimpliSafe intends to encourage its customers to order the sensors and diodes of the detection system on its site.
A notice explaining how to install it on the garment is made available to the most DIY volunteers.
Images from the promotion clip show how the blue and white sweater with small locks and the name of the company making it works.
The ten diodes attached to the wool sweater start flashing when an individual approaches the user to try to hug him.
A shrill sound signal sounds simultaneously.
"The holidays are here ... But unfortunately, the pandemic too", comments the voice over.
"As security experts, even when it comes to home security, we wanted to offer people a fun way to protect themselves during the holiday season," says the creative director of SimpliSafe. Wade Devers.
It's really made to bring a little lightness in these times which are otherwise rather stressful ”.
