Bags with brains


From suitcases funded like start-ups to bags that can be tracked from your phone, luggage went high tech in 2015. The BlueSmart, which comes complete with a device-charging battery and digital scale, has a companion app that syncs its GPS location to your phone. The suitcase connects seamlessly via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to your phone. Global coverage is provided in partnership with Telefonica which is Spanish broadband and telecommunications provider. That means as far as you have 3G coverage or better your suitcase would be able to communicate back to your phone so you can track your suitcase anywhere in the world. The Space Case (due out in early 2016) adds a Bluetooth speaker, turning your carry-on into the ultimate mobile entertainment system. Big names are also on the case: Samsonite and Samsung are working on bags that can be tracked anywhere worldwide.
