Orange has just revealed their new solar-powered tent which is labelled as a 'tent of the future'. The tent will ensure that all your electronic gadgets will function during your camping visit, though some may feel this defeats the purpose of camping. (Not me)
Orange teamed up with American product design consultants, Kaleidoscope, to create this modern day tent which harnesses solar energy in order to power your gadgets and equipment via a wireless charging pouch. The tent uses a photovoltaic fabric to receive the maximum amount of energy directly from the sun throughout the day. There is also an integrated "glo-cation" technology instilled which assists campers in finding their way back to their tent. You can use your phone to send a text message to your tent, which will then cause the camp to glow and become easily identifiable.
The solar powered tent has a wireless control hub which illustrates the total amount of energy generated and also the amount of that energy consumed. There is also a wireless internet signal, a touch screen display, and even a heating system, which kicks into action as soon as the temperature within the tent drops below a certain level.
The future of camping.
