The other important specs are its weight and space requirement, handling requirement, cost, ease of operation. If it regressed in all these specs compared to the standard umbrella, then it already failed to be an innovation.
Lacking a bit of sleep, I initially read this as “anonymous flying umbrella follows and shields users from rain” which certainly intrigued me more than the actual title.
I think this is in the category of excess application of technology
I don't know - I got an automatic garbage can that not only opens and closes, it also ejects the garbage bag when it is full and vacuums in another one into place. today's luxury is tomorrow's necessity. things get normalized. pop-up ads, selfies, subscriptions, the cybertruck...
Reminds me of the floating umbrella that appeared on Caladan in the 1984 Dune movie.
Do you mean the glowglobe rather than an umbrella? The glowglobes were used for lighting.

Can you share the model? Have seen self-sealing and self-changing via a ring of new bags and heat-sealer, but not one yet with an ejection feature.

On the other hand, I used to have an automatic open garbage can. Absolutely hated it. Ended up replacing with a foot operated one. The benefits were: * Never ran out of batteries * Didn't rely on an IR sensor that would work about 80% of the time, but would sometimes require waving more than once to get it to open. * Didn't have a delicate gearing mechanism (automatic one eventually stripped a gear and broke). * No s…

Sorry, actually it doesn't eject, more like "makes sealed bag available". Yes, ring of bags. Press and hold button, it cuts and seals old bag, you open lid and pull out full bag, close lid and it feeds and vacuums new bag into place with no air in corners. And you're ready for more tossing, into the handy lighted maw of an empty trash can. lol It is this one, I have two sizes: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D5BQ6B9V
