The days of staring at a map or the screen of your smartphone when you’re lost will soon be over — thanks to new shoes that tell you which way to turn.
The shoes use a Bluetooth link to communicate with your mobile’s mapping system. The mobile works out which route you should be following and the shoes then emit a vibration (震动) in either foot telling you when and where to change direction. The shoes will also count the number of steps you’ve taken and the calories you’ve burned.
“They are as easy to use as a tap on the shoulder,” said Krispian Lawrence, 30, who developed the shoes with partner Anirudh Sharma, 28, in Hyderabad,
“You can even communicate with them using hand gestures and finger snaps because the shoes have sensors that can pick up movement and sound.” The Lechal shoes go on sale worldwide in June but Lawrence and Sharma’s company, Ducere Technologies, has already taken more than3,000 pre-orders.
Lawrence believes the shoes will also improve road safety. “If I’m on my bike or motorbike, I don’t want to stare at my phone—it’s dangerous,” he says. “I’d rather be guided by my footwear.”
He believes his invention will prove helpful for the visually impaired (视觉障碍者)and has promised that every pair sold by Ducere will subsidise(补助)a cheaper pair for a visually impaired person.
Footnav technology does not impress explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes, However. “What’s wrong with a good old-fashioned may?” said the 70-year-old when told of the shoes. “If you rely too heavily on technology, you’ve heading for trouble. Too many people have forgotten the basics: how to read a map and a compass.”
