Na dass ist doch was Freunde, Google hat auf dem SXSW-Festival einen sprechenden Schuh vorgestellt, der bei jedem Schritt und Tritt einen vollquasselt und so richtig schön auf die Nerven geht. Oder wie es ein YouTube-Kommentator treffend formuliert: «Forever alone.»
Using an accelerometer, a gyroscope, Bluetooth and some other off the shelf technologies, the Talking Shoe translates the wearer’s movements into funny, motivating and timely commentary. The things it says can be posted to Google+ by the user, sent to real-time ad units, if the user chooses to, and broadcast via onboard speakers. It can talk to the world and to the web.
Every move the user makes generates data that’s captured using an accelerometer, gyroscope and pressure sensors. That data then gets pushed to a web app on your mobile phone and translated in real-time into funny and motivating commentary. That commentary then gets pushed to banners and social media, creating new, interesting content in the digital world from something happening live in the physical one.
