Here’s another product from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) that you might be interested in for your venue. It’s a flashlight. No, let me take that back. It’s a FLASHLIGHT (say that in your best superhero voice).
The Fogo, much like many of the products at CES, is smart. It not only lights your way, it also functions as a GPS receiver and a walkie-talkie.
“The walkie-talkie aspect of the device isn’t like your traditional two-way radio, for example,” reported Jamie Rigg for Engadget. “To be as efficient as possible, it transmits voice messages to other Fogos as needed, rather than leaving a radio channel open constantly. You can also send text-based messages, and data such as GPS locations to friends’ devices via the simple LCD and three-button interface.”
The flashlight also a built-in accelerometer that will dim or bright the light depending on where you point it. That accelerometer also knows if you fall down and will alert other Fogos nearby for help.
Fogo will appear on Kickstarter next week, and the base model will cost around $200.
