As a part of the Sony Startup Acceleration Programme (SSAP), it’s a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/25-tech-products-that-raised-over-1-million-on-Kickstarter-and-where-to-buy-them/articleshow/67130382.cms">crowded funded</a> project that’s only met 48% of its <a href="https://first-flight.sony.com/pj/reonpocket">funding requirement</a> so far. The total cost for the project is 66 million Yen and so far only 31.7 million Yen have come in, with another 24 days left to meet the deadline. A single unit of the Reon Pocket costs $130, which is approximately ₹9,000. How does it work? The device itself may be small but in order for it to work properly, it comes with a specially designed shirt that has a small pocket behind the neck for the gadget to seat itself. Essentially, it’s <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/silcon-valley-never-talks-about-the-real-reason-you-dont-own-a-smart-watch-or-wearable160tech/articleshow/32759343.cms?mobile=no">smart innerwear</a> meant to be worn underneath your normal clothes. You can control the temperature using a smartphone app that communicates with the unit using bluetooth. While keeping cool in the summer, the wearable technology can also be turned into a heater when winters kick in. According to the <a href="https://first-flight.sony.com/images/projects/reonpocket/image07.jpg">product team</a>, the Reon Pocket can reduce temperatures by up to 13 degrees Celsius and make it warmer by 8.3 degrees Celsius. In both cases, the fan — which users can control via the app — has five different speed settings. The wearable air conditioner lasts 90 minutes in a single charge on average, according to the company. According to <a href="https://sony-startup-acceleration-program.com/article049.html">Yoichi Ito</a>, the project leader, they are aiming to commercialise the Reon Pocket by the summer of 2020.
