AcMo Protect is the newest division within the AcMo empire. It is dedicated to producing safety innovations for personal living and transportation needs. The first product to arrive from AcMo Protect had its genesis before the Y2K bug plunged civilization into darkness. Years before that fateful day, the Wu-Tang Clan gave prescient advice to those who were willing to listen: "protect ya neck." I listened, and got straight to work. I invented a comfortable, stylish, and easy to install neck protector. Not content to just provide neck protection, I added small cameras to provide 360º protection for the ultimate in situational awareness. These cameras are so good, you don't even need to use the rear view mirror in a car, or when on a bicycle, or skateboard, or roller skates, or surfboard or night club, or...you get the idea.
This product would have been a life-saver when the lights went out that final time the moment Y2K struck down all of our computer systems. Even today with the impending arrival of SkyNet, the neck protector will prove an invaluable protection device. Since the cameras on the protector aren't networked, SkyNet won't be able to take control of them and watch our movements--in theory anyway. I've taken extreme care to NSA proof them by implementing an unbreakable encryption protocol on the protector itself. They can only be removed when the wearer dictates, and not by force*.
I also discovered by accident that the neck protector is excellent at repelling vampire attacks. That isn't a feature we feel comfortable advertising, but it is still good to share by word of mouth. Anything AcMo can do to reduce the vampire population is a step in the right direction.
The above is only a small sample of the power of the Wu-Tang inspired Neck Protector. The device is only limited by the wearer's neck size, and imagination. Given the power available, this should be on store shelves and necks everywhere right now. The reason you never heard about this amazing invention before today is that the technology to provide usable info to the wearer didn't exist until now. The cameras were excellent at recording everything going on behind the wearer, but it was only viewable when the supplied sync cable was hooked up to a television. It became quite cumbersome to carry a 40" television and power supplies just to have the ability to see in 360º.
Shelving the project was a hard decision, but I'm CEO, CCO, CFO, HMIC, and Chief Tester, so I make all the hard decisions at AcMo. It wasn't my first, and won't be my last. It was in the best interest of the company, and civilization. I'm convinced people weren't yet equipped to handle the sensory information overload the Wu-Tang Inspired Neck Protector provided.
Then along came Google Glass, and my whole world changed. I was able to head into the archives and unseal this project because of the introduction of Google Glass. Glass has allowed me to adapt the Wu-Tang Inspired Neck Protector (WTINP) to display a real-time feed overlaid with relevant telemetry. Now you can determine if the menacing looking person behind you is gaining on your position, and whether or not you are about to be hit by a car approaching from your blind spot.
There are a few minor bugs to solve before AcMo can put the updated WTINP into production. The biggest stumbling block at the moment is the likelihood of vision-induced motion sickness when viewing the image for more than five minutes. That, and I almost forgot, the seizures are bad too. Once AcMo's engineers can rectify those issues and a few other niggling design problems, expect to acquire your WTINP soon.
If you see this product introduced by Google within the next few weeks, remember that you heard about it here first, and they are working from designs I created without my permission.
*This has only been tested against basic theft attempts. None of the test subjects were willing to submit to removal force testing since it could result, on rare occasions, of head removal.
