Shoes with LEDs where a user can change colour, intensity and pattern of the light by performing certain actions.
Project description
Dancing Shoes are shoes with LEDs where a user can change colour, intensity and pattern of the light by performing certain actions. Walking, jumping or tapping results in cool light effects, connecting the players’ actions to their appearance. A proof‑of‑principle was created by the designer, and worn at a party and an exhibition.
Scenario
Mark walks through the school corridor and encounters a group of classmates. He jumps and runs past them, showing off with his speed and the cool light effects that appear in his shoes.
