StreetSmart suggests not even the humble money holder should be lacking in connected smarts as it debuts the SmartWallet-- supposedly the "world's smartest wallet," featuring built-in GPS locator and 1000mAh battery.
The GPS locator uses Bluetooth LE, and pairs with smartphones to prevent the loss of both devices. Should it get unpaired, the SmartWallet saves the GPS location it was last paired at before sending an alert on a companion SmartWallet app. If one lose their phone, a button on the wallet makes the device ring.
The app also helps one find the wallet, with direction range of around 15-45m.
In addition, as mentioned earlier the SmartWallet features a built-in battery complete with Lightning and micro-USB cables stowed within a hidden compartment.
“No one wants to carry around a phone charger or a backup battery, but everyone has to carry a wallet because they need their ID,” StreetSmart says. “So we decided to combine the two so that you are never without your charger, and yet it’s essentially only there when you need it.”
The SmartWallet is currently available as a preorder on Indiegogo, and should ship from March 2015 in 2 colours, black and tan.
