Biz: Sony to make in-shirt air conditioner

Sony has a new device for anyone who's ever wished they could carry their air conditioner with them on sweltering summer days. Called the Reon Pocket, the small, lightweight gadget slides into the upper back pocket of a specially designed T-shirt. Controlled with a smartphone app, it's capable of heating or cooling the wearer via the Peltier effect, a thermodynamic principle widely used in refrigeration. The Reon Pocket comes out of Sony's startup acceleration program, and Sony is currently crowdfunding the device. If the crowdfunding is successful, deliveries of the device are scheduled to begin in March.
