Created by Huaishu Peng and Yen-Chia Hsu at the Computational Design Lab at Carnegie Mellon comes the SENSEable shoes project.
The shoes can identity and transmit information for 10 different gait patterns (standing, sitting, turning left, turning right, walking left, walking right, walking forward, walking backward, going upstairs, and downstairs). Suggested applications for the shoes include being used in gaming platforms (think Wii Fitness) or detecting abnormal gaits in health care patient monitoring.
Project Description:
"The goal of this project is to build a foot-computer interface: a newly hand-free and eye-free interactive technology designed for the growing pervasive computing environments. By embedding multiple sensors into shoes, people are allowed to control ambient digital devices with their foot gestures as well as toe gestures."
Created with:
- Twelve Force-Sensing Resistors(FSR)
- two Arduino UNO microcontroller boards with ATmega168 microprocessors
- two Xbee wireless transmission devices
