Sony has once again pushed the boundaries of innovation with its latest gadget—a wearable air conditioner designed to combat sweltering summer heat. Dubbed the Reon Pocket, this compact device offers a futuristic solution to staying cool without bulky fans or energy-hungry air conditioning units.
How Does Sony's Wearable Air Conditioner Work?
The Reon Pocket is a small, lightweight device that fits into a specially designed undershirt. Using thermoelectric technology, it cools or warms the wearer by adjusting to body temperature. Simply slot the device into the shirt's back pocket, connect it via Bluetooth to your smartphone, and let it regulate your comfort on the go.
Why This Gadget Could Be a Game-Changer
With heatwaves becoming more frequent, Sony's wearable air conditioner offers a practical solution for commuters, outdoor workers, and even athletes. Unlike traditional cooling methods, the Reon Pocket is:
- Portable – Fits discreetly under clothing.
- Energy-efficient – Uses minimal power compared to conventional AC units.
- Customisable – Adjust settings via an app for personalised comfort.
Availability and Pricing
Currently available in Japan, Sony plans to expand sales globally, including the UK, just in time for the next heatwave. Priced at around £100, the Reon Pocket could be a worthwhile investment for those who struggle with extreme heat.
Final Thoughts
Sony's Reon Pocket is more than just a gadget—it's a glimpse into the future of personal climate control. Whether you're battling the Tube's summer heat or working outdoors, this wearable tech might just become your new best friend.
