Lechal Interactive Vibrating Footwear

Jul-28-14 Described as the world's first interactive haptic footwear, the Vibrating Footwear from Lechal will guide the wearer to their destination with a series of vibrations.

Developed with the visually impaired in mind, the Vibrating Footwear insoles are seen as an improvement over the usual assist devices, which rely on audio cues. Instead, once the intended destination has been set using a smartphone, the insoles will vibrate to signal a left or right turn. The companion app and charging device for the insoles can be controlled by using the volume buttons on the smartphone, with no visual cues required, and the charger will respond with audio feedback.

Besides giving directions to the wearer, the Vibrating Footwear also allows users to tag their destination with a foot tap, share their route with friends and track daily activity.
