Barracuda: Collapsible Luggage + Built-in Laptop Tray + GPS + Proximity Sensor + USB Charger
Nothing can ruin a trip faster than lost luggage. An ingenious Indiegogo project looks to make lost luggage a lost part of the travel experience. Barracuda is a rolling, carry-on bag and so much more. It’s “smart” luggage that features GSM-GPRS technology for location tracking. Any connected device can be used to track the location of a Barracuda.
In addition, it has Bluetooth so you can use an iPhone or Android device to quickly locate the Barracuda from short range (when it is on a baggage carousel, for example).
Other features include a built-in USB charger, a built-in tray that pops out for laptop use, and an ergonomic handle for comfortable transport. The Barracuda is also collapsible. This successfully-funded product will start shipping in February 2016.
