Frontline Gloves are an exciting new concept that would help keep firefighters connected and safe. Frontline Gloves would translate hand signals into words. I am intrigued.
Frontline Gloves have a series of LEDs on them that translate the meaning of a hand sign to all the members of the team. The gloves also double as a proximity detector, giving firefighters sight beyond sight in smoky rooms. Firefighters need all the technological innovations that they can get to keep buildings from burning and people safe.

Trend Themes
1. Connected Safety Gear - The trend is towards developing safety gear that integrates with technology to give real-time insights into safety conditions.
2. Gesture Translation Devices - As wearable technology become more mainstream, there is a growing demand for gesture translation devices that can interpret body language.
3. Proximity Detectors - As technology advances, proximity sensors will play an increasingly important role in workplace safety, particularly in hazardous environments.
Industry Implications
1. Manufacturing - Manufacturing industries can invest in similar products that use similar technologies.
2. Construction - Construction workers and teams can use this technology for safety on scaffolding or high-rise buildings.
3. Emergency Services - Emergency services such as police and paramedics can use this technology to communicate in a variety of situations
