Smart Shoes
An Indian company called Ducere Technologies has created sneakers and insoles called Lechal
that pair with an app and Google Maps to help you get from place to
place. The shoe and insole are both connected to your smartphone via
Bluetooth. You input a destination on the app and then as you walk
around, your left or right shoe vibrates to show you which way to turn. And you thought that all that mobile application development for footwear was for naught. Shoes are pretty great things to begin with, they keep you from stepping on very uncomfortable things and keep your feet looking great. It could be used for amazing purposes such as helping blind people navigate but on the flipside, if your shoes are connected to bluetooth with a geolocation, there is always the possibility of someone tracking someone else.

With mobile applications and even internet phone connected to the shoes, you can experience running in a whole different dimension.
ReplyDeleteI do not think that you need all those mobile applications. Just stick a comfy pair on and go.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it is much better to just shut all those phone services and cloud services off. Unplugging can help clear the mind.
ReplyDeleteIt might be interesting to see the progress made with all the internet phone services and mobile applications.
