Sony showed a wearable mini air conditioner controlled from a smartphone

The weather this year is surprising - in Europe the heat is +40 degrees, and in Russia in July sometimes you have to wear jackets. It is in the abnormal weather conditions that you want to carry a small winter-summer air conditioner with you and soon this desire can be fulfilled thanks to Sony.

The Japanese company hopes to make this vision a reality with the help of Reon Pocket, a portable device controlled by a smartphone that heats and cools a person, but it can fit in a shirt or t-shirt pocket.

In the summer, the device will cool and in the winter help to cope with frostbite. Thus, you can use this device for about six months a year, when extreme weather conditions become too difficult to cope with them without a little help.

The device can work 90 minutes from the battery, which takes about two hours to charge. Sony plans to sell the gadget and shirt to the size of the buyer for $ 130.

Unfortunately, instead of immediately releasing Reon Pocket, Sony launched a crowdfunding campaign on its First Flight platform. If the project is successful, the device will be launched early next year. Initially, the device will be released only for the Japanese market.

Of course, there may be safety issues associated with lithium-ion batteries in clothing, but given that the gadget is being developed by Sony, we can expect the risk to be minimal.
