Infidelity is over: A company in Brazil invented a wedding ring with integrated GPS technology that promises to track your partner and know where he is at all times.
The Brazilian company Boyfriend Tracker has put on the market the sophisticated jewel that thanks to the Global Positioning System (GPS) locates its user while wearing the garment.
The tracker is located on the inside of the ring and is covered with a cover of the same material making it practically invisible. The tracker chip is connected to an app that is used from the mobile phone.
According to the company, the idea behind this invention is to help clients end problems that may exist between couples, especially those who spend time away.
Boyfriend Tracker launched the design earlier this year and those who have purchased it also use it for security, as it can be used to track someone in the event of a hijacking and it is easy to retrieve the ring in the event of theft or loss thanks to GPS.
"We Brazilians are jealous people, what can I say?" Exclaimed Marcia Almeida, a resident of Rio de Janeiro, speaking to the Associated Press at the time of the launch of the tracking app that emerged in the market in 2013. "[It works] to watch someone you know intimately, not a stranger, "he exclaimed to defend its use.
And it is that said company caused great controversy in Brazil under accusations that its app - which in Portuguese is called Rastreador Namorado - invaded privacy. Critics also pointed out that the invention could be used as a tool for blackmailers and stalkers. Thousands downloaded the app before Google Play was forced to remove it from its download platform in that same 2013.
In the United States this ring could find a huge market: according to figures revealed by the Dating.com site in a survey of 10,000 adults of both sexes, it was found that 80 percent of married couples have been unfaithful. 62% declared that they had cheated on their partners, while 38% of the women accepted the same 'peccadillo'.
