On a Day like Today

Forecast Umbrella

“A model for appropriate embedded technology, the FORCAST umbrella provides information about the likelihood of rain so that users can make a simple, informed decision about whether to take their umbrella with them as they leave their home.

Using existing WiFi technology to wirelessly pull information from the internet, Forcast's lighted umbrella handle glows more intensely with the increased chance of precipitation offering a clear and unobtrusive signal to the user.”
