A colleague bought a Xiaomi backpack, which resulted in a flurry of questions from my other teammates on weather it was smart bag, which it wasn’t. The next couple minutes was spent discussing some obvious and ridiculous feature ideas for a smart backpack. Below is a list which came from that discussion and I thought about later.
- Inbuilt device charger
- Wireless charging pockets
- Pull out charging cord
- GPS with camera
- Fly/ wheel and follow
- A drone which flys out and lands in directly into your bag
- Detection and list of what’s in the bag and where
- Auto close – something like the shoes from back to the Future
- Weight detection, recommendation on how to arrange to optimize
- Solar panels for charging
- Inbuilt distress beacons
- Bendable screens to show moving themes
- Inbuilt speakers
