Dr. Tracy Hammond of Texas A&M recently presented her smart vest to business and academic representatives in Gävle, Sweden. The vest has already been used by U.S. Military paratroopers on silent and dark missions, and because it is pre-programmed with Google road maps, it allows for quiet and speedy navigation. The vest can also be used to protect motorcyclists.
