The best way to describe the Point Locus is that, a GPS jacket. The same way you use a navigator in your car, this piece of unfashionable apparel guides the wearer in the urbanscape. Pictured below is a subject testing the prototype.

GPS Jacket

The Point Locus was made by an international team of enthusiasts who wished to make a difference in others’ live. They might have created a very cool gadget in the process. Imagine you’re lost in the dark woods and have this jacket on—goodbye Blair Witch! Or in a more practical conundrum, you’re lost in a big foreign city. Viola! Of course, there’s always the GPS on your smart phone.

 

Since the Point Locus is still a prototype, we have no idea when it’s coming out.
