Name of Business:
RFP Gloves
Opportunity: Radio-Frequency
Identification (RFID) is the way of the future. Everything will contain RFID’s.
Imagine walking into a store, and picking up exactly what you needed or wanted.
There are no check-out lanes. You can just walk right out. I know what you’re
thinking. It’s not stealing. The fact is, that store already knows you. The
store deducted money from your bank account instantly. How? It read all the
RFID’s on the items you were carrying. Even you. RFID’s are being planted
between your thumb and your index finger. Creepy? Maybe just a little.
Solution: We all
know that a lot of good can come out of this technology. Privacy is a factor
that’s hindering growth. I have a solution! Radio-Frequency Protection Gloves. Now
there is safety of privacy in mind. When you are not utilizing your microchip,
the gloves block the signal. They are made out of natural cotton and metals to
reflect waves. They are stylish, affordable, and come in a variety of colors.
One pair of gloves is priced at $19.99. Made
in U.S.A!
I think this idea is great, but I agree when you called it a little creepy. The question that comes into mind is, "what if the computer system is messed up and automatically charge you a lot more than what you bought?". But then again maybe I'm just overthinking the idea/concept. But I do think this is a great idea. Good job!
ReplyDeleteGreat question! RFID's will be on each of the items you purchased. Therefore, the tech will talk to each other. There is a lot still going into this tech though. It can be a lot to think about. :)
DeleteHey Brit! Great idea and I think it would be SO useful for trips to the grocery store or into a quick trip to CVS. Computers can be tricky and I dont know what kind of software goes into constructing something like that but I wish you luck!

This is a great idea and really agree that it is the way of future. To not have to wait in a line would be amazing. A question I have is about the bagging process, you would have to bag as you go? Maybe there is an opportunity to develop a new shopping cart that has the bag rack/dispenser thing right on it. It seems to be more geared toward using reusable bags as these fit more and are easier to fill as you shop, which is great! Also I think I like the idea of a bracelet more than a glove. Or even would be cool to have the system integrated to the cart where there's a screen on it and you sign in to your account, that way you can review your purchases and what not, like a receipt. Or maybe have an app linked up to the wearable reader that lets you access it on your phone. Cant wait to see where this goes! Great pitch!
ReplyDeleteI love your shopping cart idea! I have a feeling there will be a lot more inventions when this tech grows. It will change how we use things. I also have a feeling out world will be much more environmentally friendly. Therefore, there will be a different bagging process. I like your bracelet idea. However, the glove is designed to block the signal from your microchip. Assuming it is implanted between your thumb and index finger. A bracelet would not be able to do that. If the bracelet was your microchip, that would be pretty cool. The question would then be, 'would there be security software or an off switch for the chip so that no one would be able to collect info about you?' Now we have another great invention. Great job Danielle!
DeleteThanks for the valuable feedback. :)
DeleteIf you want to go into business with me to invent these, that sounds like a plan!
DeleteGreat idea really futuristic the main uses I see are with any glitches or hacks that people could exploit and that it will confuse security. The pitch needs a little work though in order to sell a product that is creepy don't call it creepy don't put down you product in the pitch the investors or consumers have that job covered. I have the same issue of my camera going out of focus but that is any easy fix. BTW the glove isn't that creepy know a brain or implanted hand microchip would be a little harder to pitch.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your feedback Andree! I wasn't calling my product "creepy". I was calling the technology creepy. That's one of the reasons of why I invented the product. I will try to make my camera better with the focus control. Thanks.
