IDG (Isaac Daniel Group) has developed GPS shoes, dubbed Blue GPS because of their Bluetooth capability. These shoes enable the wearer to be tracked by friends and family through their cell phones. The wearer simply inputs up to five phone numbers of family/friends into his cell phone (eventually this capability will be expanded to up to 20 people) and pushes a button on the shoe to activate a link with those on his list.
The Blue GPS can be enabled with all cellular phones. So people will be able to see where their friends are and have a better idea of estimated arrival time without having to call them. And, because the wearer doesn't have to be talking on the phone while driving, it will improve safety. In addition to the button linking the shoe and cell phone users, another button can be pressed for an 'E911' call. When that button is pushed, a signal is sent to IDG's monitoring division, ID Conex, which then attempts to contact the wearer. If the shoe wearer does not respond, ID Conex alerts the proper authorities.
