Klaxoon’s Topical Tech Spoof was genius!
We love a good April Fool’s gag in the UK. I am old enough to have seen repeats of the old film of folks harvesting spaghetti from trees. Back when ignorance of foreign food mean that many believed it! I ran a daft one that really had wings, over on Slingshot World’s website…but THIS is so damn good, and so terribly topical, that just like my spoof that had folks making serious enquires from the USA trying to buy Screaming Demon slingshot ammo, I reckon that I WANT a pair of these. Every feature described can be done, today. After all, shoe based battery and LED systems exist, so the parts for wiring and power and how to embed them, is extant! Sadly, it didn’t reach me until 4:30pm, well after the midday deadline… so I publish late in awe of the effort.
THEY SHOULD MAKE THESE!
Klaxoon, the specialist of collaborative solutions dedicated to efficient, creative and inclusive teamwork, is pleased to announce the launch of the first-ever connected slippers. This unique innovation will dramatically improve the flow of remote teamwork.
Years of R&D and months of field-testing allowed Klaxoon to develop this unique innovation in record time. Thanks to these slippers, users can cast their vote during collective vote sessions with a simple movement of the foot. Urgent meeting to be held? Tap both feet at the same time 5 times to instantly launch a meeting or a videoconference and invite the team. A new idea has been shared on Board? The tip of the slipper lights up. Want to answer a question? A simple tap of the foot and the feedback is on its way.
Featuring high-speed charging, the slippers come in carbon black and hot pink for those who like to work in style. They integrate an anti-shock technology associated with an exclusive BigToeID™, a unique feature developed for the occasion by Klaxoon to enable podal digital identification and to secure the feet in the slippers. Both indoor and outdoor, the connected slippers work for several miles/ kilometres.
The first tests triggered unanimous reactions: these connected slippers are a new must-have. “It’s the perfect tool to efficiently synchronise in teams directly from our own couch, garden… or desk at home, it takes the load off your feet!”
Klaxoon surprises yet again with a tool that, just as the Klaxoon Box or Board, pushes the boundaries of innovation for teamwork. The connected slippers were the missing link to make Klaxoon solutions the perfect technology combination for teams to collaborate better, synchronise more efficiently and truly live the new ways of working.
*The slippers are available starting April 31st, exclusively in size 33 with a starting price of 1,487,98 USD.
