They interact poorly with other people, They’re easily lost or stolen they’re hard to handle,
They break easily
Is help on the way?

When you think about it, there is a lot of room for innovation in the world of umbrellas. People have lots of complaints about them, especially in cities where a lot of the population moves around on foot and has to navigate large pedestrian crowds.
It turns out that in recent years, there have been some actual innovations in the umbrella category. There are a small number of “smart” umbrella brands that promise to solve one or more of the aforementioned issues. Here’s what we found.
1.Phone umbrella
Ovida phone umbrella can help you will never lose or leave your brolly behind again. It’s connected to your smartphone, and you’ll get an alert if you leave it somewhere.
The product is made of industrial-strength fiberglass to prevent inverting and breaking. The brand reports that it can withstand winds up to 55 mph (the question is whether you can withstand winds that high). It’s coated with Teflon to ensure that it repels the maximum amount of water. Bluetooth technology tracks the umbrella so you don’t lose it, and the brand’s app makes sure you don’t leave it behind.
2.Reverse umbrella
Ovida double layer umbrella opens from the top instead of the bottom, which the company says makes it easier to open, close, and store. The ergonomic C-shaped handle is designed to fit around your wrist for hands-free use. It stands vertically while it’s closed, so it reportedly dries faster. Meaning that it’s ready to get back to the hustle when you are.
3.Blunt Umbrella
Ovida Blunt Umbrella is said to be aerodynamically designed to withstand winds up to 55 miles per hour. Its “Radial Tensioning System” is said to redirect the effort you use to open it. The brand claims that it unfolds with just one hand. What we found most intriguing is that it’s the only smart umbrella that addresses the “eye poke” problem. Because it has blunted edges, it shouldn’t poke others standing near you the way other umbrellas do.
are these “smart” umbrellas sufficiently smart?
So, what say you? Are these “smart” enough and smart enough to earn a place in your entry hallway? And perhaps more importantly: will you be singing Rihanna’s iconic song as you splash your way through the city? ‘Cause we totally will.
