WiFi Detection

Brando Workshop WiFi Detecting Hat

Brando Workshop has released another interesting product. WiFi Detection Cap finds 802.11 b/g/n signals. Using LEDs, one to show network availability and the other to show strength. The hat come is two varieties, a laptop design or a XM like design, and three colors: red, white, black). The two CR2032 batteries are included.Funny thing about this hat is that the wearer cannot actually see the activity while wearing it. Maybe this is an accessory to the Firebox WiFi shirt, or the ThinkGeek Wi-Fi shirt. Well for $14.00 it is a fun toy.

We have come across yet another WiFi detecting T-Shirt for the fun loving, cool, techie Dad.

Flashwear continues to extend their animated T-Shirt line and now offers many different styles of their WiFi detecting T-Shirt collection ensuring there will be one style that suits you.

The t-shirt displays the strength of 802.11b & 802.11g signals of nearby wireless networks. The wifi detection and led is powered by a small battery pack which holds 3 AAA batteries. The light-up decal is removable to allow easy cleaning of the t-shirt.

Flashwear sells the WiFi detector T-Shirts for $ 47.48 directly via their online store.

Wi-Fi detecting sneakers

An new level of Wi-Fi detection is coming. Remember the Wi-Fi detecting t-shirt? Now comes Wi-Fi sneakers.The designer Stefan Dukaczewik calls his concept sneaker ASRD – ‘A Step in the Right Direction’. The ASRD sneaker is equipped with an 802.11 detection unit under the flap of the left shoe. These shoes are merely just converted Nike Dunk sneakers. The pressure sensor activates the unit when stepped on. The three LED lights represent signal strength within 50 meters. Blinking LEDs mean no Wi-Fi detected.

If this was interchangeable with other shoes…. maybe an interesting gimmick.

Firebox WiFi detecting t-shirt

Firebox.com finally has most sizes available for its WiFi detecting T-Shirt.The WiFi T-shirt is available at Firebox.com for $38.90.

Wifi Detecting T-Shirt

WiFi Detecting T-Shirt’s keep getting more stylish.  The last introduction of Thinkgeek’s Wi-Fi Detecting T-Shirt was already a great looking T-Shirt, it’s a bit geeky to wear but hey – life should be fun as well.

In case you want to have the convenient WiFi sniffing without reaching for your laptop, you have the option and go for one of those WiFi detecting bags we recently posted about.

The Wi-Fi Detecting T-Shirt searches for wireless signals in the 802.11b or 802.11g range and shows their signal strength in a Macbook stylized laptop image on the front of the T-Shirt.

The WiFi Detecting T-Shirt will be available for just £20.- ($39.-) from the end of January by firebox.com

Soyntec Wiffinder Bag

Finding a usable WiFi signal is becoming something more and more people want to do. Knowing if you are in a so called ‘hot spot’ means taking out your Laptop and checking if the signal is good enough to connect to the inetnet.

Thanks to the Soyntec Wiffinder bag there are now more convenient ways to make the hot-spot check. Previously we could check for wifi signals with the WiFi T-Shirt. Now we can purchase one of the newly launched Wiffinder bags from Soyntec.

WiFi Detector Shirt

The WiFi Detector Shirt from ThinkGeek is the perfect outfit for fun loving, WiFi depending, always in the need to be online Web2.0-citizen.

I love this shirt and I love this idea. Back in July, we had an article running about the Hotspot Bloom from Karen Lee, a former student from Parsons School of Design. She created in 2004 a concept to use a wearable flower with an integrated color LED to indicate if and how strong a WiFi signal is nearby.

The WiFi Detector Shirt is bringing this idea now – finally – to reality. According ThinkGeek, the WiFi Detector Shirt will be available at end of this month for $ 29.99
