English Mobile operator “Orange” launched their futuristic tent design, equipped with solar energy saver and LCD-screen. Utilizing cutting edge eco-energy genius to power essential camping gadgets, the tent makes it easy to for campers to stay in touch in case of an emergency. Made from photovoltaic fabric a flexible material woven with specially coated solar threads which trap energy from the sun to power your portable devices.
It also features a unique identification system known as Glo-cation technology. Glo-cation works by enabling campers’ mobile phones to identify their tent using either an SMS message or automatic active RFID technology; both would trigger a distinctive glow in the tent helping identify it from a distance.
At the heart of the tent is a wireless control hub which displays energy generated and consumed as well as providing a wireless internet signal; all information is displayed on a flexible, touchscreen LCD display screen.
Also controlled by the central hub is an internal heating element embedded within the tent’s groundsheet; this under floor heating is triggered automatically once the interior temperature falls below a set level.
The Concept Tent has been designed in association with American product design consultancy Kaleidoscope and builds on learnings from the original Orange Solar Tent that was trialled at Glastonbury in 2003, as well as 2004′s Orange Text Me Home Dome.
So, thanks to Orange and Kaleidoscope campers now have a solar sensible solution for their outdoor adventures that’s smart and stylish in design!
