of the smart health connected ballet shoes for transform our steps into works of art, interpret our choreographies and correct them.
smart health connected dance shoes: an idea from watching ballerinas
Lésia Trubat, student at the Barcelona School of Design and Engineering, has chosen to create dance slippers smart health connected via integrated sensors as a final project.
The idea came from observing the toe of ballet shoes.
After observing the slides, pirouettes and movements of all kinds made by the feet of the dancers, she realized that the pressure of the foot could be recorded thanks to microcontrollers.
The result obtained allows collect information about pressure and movement and send them to a smartphone.
A visual utilityThanks to Lilypad Arduino technology, each movement of the choreography is transformed on the smartphone with a brushstroke on the screen.Sensors installed on the liner record the pressure from the foot to the ground and transmit the information over the phone via an application.The information collected is transmitted to the user in a graphic version, he can customize the result but above all allow you to see your dance from another angle. This app gives a visual of the sensations felt by the sensors which can also allow an adaptation of the choreography according to the result obtained.Subsequently, the dancers can watch the ehealth, extract images and print them, interpret their choreography and the compare with the same choreography danced by another ballerina.Adaptation to other mediaE-traces is already announcing its possible adaptation to other supports and therefore other disciplines and sectors of activity.An object of the future?In the long term, in addition to facilitating the learning of dance by directly observing the differences in pressure or movement compared to its teacher, one can imagine ballets overhung by a giant screen broadcasting this visual layout live. Can we really speak of useful innovation? Isn't there a risk of looking away from the viewer? This smart health smart health connected object which is taking its first steps on the market will have to make a name to truly enter the dance. But for that, investors must still be found, that is Lesia Trubat's hope for the moment.source: lesiatrubat.com
