Wearable air conditioners now available in Japan!

Wearable Pocket Air conditioner

In Japan, Sony has finally launched the Reon Pocket wearable air-conditioning device. It is worn through a pouch in a special T-shirt.

Rather than cooling air, It works by using Peltier Effect (where heat is absorbed or emitted when you pass an electrical current across an area.) that lowers the user's temperature by 23 degrees Fahrenheit or raise the user's temperature by 14 degrees Fahrenheit without noise.

Temperature via App

The temperature can be controlled through a mobile app where the user can have it set automatically or manually. The internal battery is rated for 2 hours on a single charge and is charged via USB-C.

The special T-shirt is sold separately and is priced at JPY 1,800 (or around PHP 850) while the Reon Pocket AC is priced at JPY 13,000 (or around PHP 6K)
