Adjust To Climate Change
Watch the video below:
Global temperatures have changed in the past 100 years due to climate change. Since the late 19th centure, the planet's average temperature has risen about 0.9 degree celsius made worse by increased carbon dioxide and human-made emissions into the atmosphere. As a result, humans tend to seek technological innovations to combat the effects of global warming.
Reon Pocket
Ever heard of 'wearable air conditioner'? Sony calls its tiny air conditioner the Reon Pocket, and can be worn just below a person's nape in the pocket (with hole) of a specialized undershirt. Once you wear the device, you can control it using your smartphone application.

Cool in Summer, Warm in Winter
The Reon Pocket can minimize your body's surface temperature by 23 degrees Fahrenheit (13 degrees celsius) if you want to use it in summer. It can also be maximized by about 14 degrees Fahrenheit (8 degrees celsius) during winter.
To make this project possible, Sony has launched a crowdfunding platform called First Flight. It aims to promote new business concept to determine its profitability and it allows it backers to purchase directly and pre-order new devices such as Reon Pocket developed by Sony.
