Vibrating Navigational Belts

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Ubivade' Navigational System Offers Passive Instruction

— September 20, 2016 — Fashion
Providing an enhanced way of getting around, the 'Ubivade' navigational system is a vibrating belt that allows users to experience more without worrying about constantly checking their phone. Available now for preorder on Kickstarter where the belts are purported to be delivered in February 2017, the 'Ubivade' belt features a sophisticated vibro-tactile navigation system. This means that it will offer vibrational feedback to let users know which way to go rather than have them check their phone or smartwatch.

The 'Ubivade' belt is an exceptional product option for those that ride a motorcycle or simply want to experience a new city or their own town with a stronger focus on being carefree. Because the 'Ubivade' navigational system tracks your every move, you never have to worry about going the wrong way as long as you respond to the vibrations accordingly.
