So what’s the “Next Big Thing” in Wearable Technology as a companion to your Smartphone?
The Smartshoe, that’s what!
From India, a company called Ducere Technologies has created a Bluetooth-Enabled wireless shoe that syncs with its own Smartphone App.
And, once synchronized what does it do? The shoe connects to Google Maps and vibrates telling people wearing them which way to walk to reach their destination.
It was originally developed to help the blind but it will work for anyone who doesn’t want to have their eyes glued to their Smartphone so they can look and see where they are going.
How many times do we find ourselves absorbed in our Smartphones walking down the street? Or, how many times have we witnessed people buried in their phones escape a serious injury or death as they cross busy streets? I’m certainly guilty of paying too much attention to my phone and have seen others so involved that they have nearly been hit by motorists.
