Sexy Lingerie With Embedded GPS Draws Protests


LingerieSexy Lingerie With Embedded GPS Draws Protests Wearable computing is here and it is not exactly what many technology enthusiasts may have had in mind. Brazilian designer Lucia Loria has designed lingerie that comes with a GPS tracking system. The designs aimed at "modern, techno-savvy women" are drawing strong protests from feminists, says The Daily Mail. The lingerie line called ‘find me if you can’ features a set consisting of a lacy bodice and a bikini bottom with a GPS device embedded near the waist.It’s not a modern chastity belt, says the designer, but instead could become a lifesaver, as a safety device on a night out.We aren’t buying that argument. There are better ways to stay safe. Get a pepper spray or maybe a Taser gun? The tacky lingerie, with its clunky GPS system, comes with a hefty price tag. The set costs between $800 to $1000.
