It happens all too many times. Spring hits, and you shell out a pretty penny for a new pair of sunglasses to get though the summer months. Only thing is, by the middle of June, you find yourself in the market for another pair because you left yours at a local park, in a cab, or any of the other millions of places your day takes you. Tzukuri Eyewear is here to help, by offering the first ever sunglasses with custom designed beacons embedded in every pair to alert you when you left your glasses behind.
Every pair of glasses from Tzukuri comes with the embedded beacon that pairs directly with your iPhone and sends an alert similar to a text message, that notifies you if you forget your glasses. Utilizing the iPhones motion sensor, the Tzukuri app recognizes if you leave your phone and sends a message with their exact location. Another point that differentiates Tzukuri from competition is their design, which used 3D analyzing of thousands of faces to develop frames that fit a broader range of facial structures.
Tzukuri Eyewear will debut is six unique designs with pre-orders starting in a few weeks through their website.
The features that Tzukuri offers got us thinking of the technological benefits it could have if utilized through other platforms. Although athletes are generally well coordinated, that doesn't exclude them from the overall clumsiness and forgetfulness that is experienced by people on a every day basis. Here's a few things athletes use everyday that could benefit from Tzukuri's technology:

Your Favorite Mouthguard
Athlete's are constantly fiddling with their mouthguard throughout the game. Only a matter of time before you leave the gym without it.
Lucky Rabbit's Foot
Even if it's not from an actual rabbit, theres something thats still excessively gross about it. As were aware though, athletes are as superstitious as anybody, so if it works on game day, we cant knock it.
Game Day Socks
Lose the socks you play every game in for the last time.
Headphones
Everyone knows how vital music can be towards a workout so losing headphones can be a major problem. With today's headphones being designed to be smaller and smaller, it increases the likelihood of misplacing them and affecting your daily routine.
