AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The invention is a safety device that can be worn or carried on a person's body or clothing. It contains a length of highly visible tape that can be deployed when needed to increase visibility. The tape is packed in pleated form and is 10 meters long. The device can be opened and closed as needed. It is designed to be convenient and easy to use."

Problems solved by technology

It is however extremely difficult to locate people who are lost, either in the bush or skiing or elsewhere, on the basis of reflective or other additions to their clothing as from any significant distance they are essentially a point source which is easily missed even from the air.
