RFIP Gloves
(Radio Frequency Identification Protection) Gloves
1) A little bit about me: I love being creative. I remember back in grammar school, I would draw. I would draw anything in my imagination. My favorite class was always art. I grew from drawing to designing to digital design. I combined my love for art with computers. I spent three years of high school in a digital design program. My aspiration is opening up a business one day. Technology is only going to keep growing. I have a feeling that RFID's is going to be a huge part of the future. With growing technology, there is a growing concern for privacy.
2) What are you offering to customers: Epicenter in Sweden is one step ahead in utilizing RFID technology. They are implanting the microchips in between the index finger and thumb of their employees. These chips can be used for a variety of activities. This can range anywhere from payment to healthcare services. This tech has been around for a while now. I believe that one of the reasons why this tech hasn't boomed yet is because of the concern for privacy. The RFIP Gloves are designed to block signals to avoid a significant amount of data collection and tracking. This helps the customer utilize the tech with peace of mind as far as safety and privacy goes.
3) Who are you offering it to? I'm offering this product to everyone who contains a microchip. This number with grow in the future.
4) Why do they care? Everyone cares about privacy. No one wants the thought of someone knowing our next move or collecting information about us. We also love technology. Technology enriches our lives. However, everyone wants to know that no matter how much tech grows, it can never control us. The gloves gives us this control for this universal use tech.
5) What are your core competencies? There are 'smart clothes' out there that can protect you from RFID frequency readers. Such as jeans, where you might put your credit card in your pocket. These clothes were originally developed for people who have skin sensitivities toward electromagnetic waves. There are protection gloves developed. However, they are not designed the same way. These "smart clothes" look normal and are not very original. The material it's made out of is original. A couple of my core competencies are making it fashionable and comfortable. I could potentially produce a clothing line. My line will become a normal part of society instead of safety/protection wear.
Evaluation: This business concept may be nowhere near its time. A perfect test market would be Epicenter in Sweden. They are the ones that are experimenting with this technology right now. It would take a long time to implement this kind of technology in the U.S. We are already having trouble implementing chip card readers for our credit and debit cards. All retailers haven't complied with this new anti-theft system. I believe when the time comes, this fashionable protection gear will be a need in the marketplace.

ReplyDeleteHey Britt,
ReplyDeleteI think you're idea is stellar and very ahead of many other ideas. Seeing the future needs of people is the best way to be first to that solution. You're business thus however suffers from the possibility that microchips implanted into humans do not become mainstream. However, the idea for necessary protection on such a crucial technology in the future should generate a lot of buzz. Thank You.

Thank you Donovan! Your right. It is a huge possibility that this tech may not go the route I'm thinking about. Therefore, this product would be obsolete. However, it is a possibility. Who knows what the future will hold. Thank you for your valuable feedback!
DeleteThis is a far more unique idea than the others I have seen thus far. It sounds like an awesome idea, although I'm not entirely sure I understand it. Are these chips implanted into peoples' fingers? Or something placed on the outside of their skin? Either way, it is certainly unique and seems futuristic at this point.

Hello Abraham!
DeleteThe chips are being implanted between your thumb and index finger. It's inside your hand. There are studies still being performed. Such as, what the long term effects may be. However, Epicenter in Sweden is currently doing this.
ReplyDeleteBritt I believe your idea is great for multiple purposes more so I can see this technology being used within the logistics and warehousing market. RF technology wile stable can be distorted if the proper security services is not in place. All the best on your idea.
