Vie GPS glove concept designed with athletes in mind

This glove, designed by Du Tran Nguyen at Monash University, turns the back of your hand into a GPS receiver created to allow you to track your position at all times on its e-paper display.

It is designed for athletes, mainly runners, to be able to plan out routes and track their speed and other relevant information. Feedback from the glove on the display or from a vibrating alert can let them know if they are going too slow or too fast, or if there is a turn coming up. The system is fully customizable.

The glove can also communicate with other Vies via Bluetooth as well as send out an SOS in case of an emergency.

Although it certainly looks cool, we doubt many people have a necessity for a glove like the Vie. However, some rich runners could definitely benefit from a gadget like this.
