JoySlippers

 

Finally, someone found a way for me not to loose the other slipper!!!

Actually…

 

These slippers are designed with two pressure sensors embedded in each sole and can sense the weight being shifted between the toe and heel of each foot. This information is fed into a computer where, for example, a drawing application can interpret the analog input as drawing directions. Allowing the wearer of the JoySlippers to draw with their feet.

The drawing application demonstrates how different motions make different patterns – visualizing their capability to track motion. I am interested in experimenting with the JoySlippers and their properties as soft, flexible, wearable and portable input devices.
