CES 2016 will allow many companies to provide to the world amazing inventions and unique products you won’t find anywhere else. The French company Digitsole, for example, has shown the public its line of smart shoes. Not so long ago we together rejoiced in the birth of a working sample of Nike sneakers from the movie Back to the future. But what other functions can be given the shoes of the future? Let’s see what can we offer Digitsole engineers.
Today, the line of smart shoes company Digitsole consists of only three models. The first model Smartshoe looks very futuristic and vaguely reminiscent of what we saw in the second film of the trilogy “Back to the future”. These sneakers are designed for use in urban environments, and its main advantage is the ability to warm feet in cold weather. In addition, trainers know how to count the number of steps with built-in sensors, and to calculate the amount of burned calories. Laces in running shoes, but they are able to take your foot using a special mechanical actuator on command from your smartphone. Yes, the shoes are equipped with Bluetooth and is accompanied by the official app.
In the front of the Shoe there are small led flashlights that will allow you to see the road in front of him in the dark. And sneakers are constantly monitoring their own condition, and if the sole is heavily worn and will cease to absorb the shocks from the steps, the owner immediately found out. In this case, you can replace the soles or to buy a new pair of shoes for the price of $ 450. Expensive? It seems like it. But for “smart” things always have to overpay.
If excessive futuristic sneaker repels you, then you might consider the purchase very nice shoes or women’s shoes, United under the name Warm Series. They are exactly the same as the first model, we are able to count your steps and warm your feet on cold evenings, however, the price tag on them has not yet been announced (it is obvious that these models will be cheaper). The advantage of a fitness tracker built into the Shoe, is undeniable. When you use the wristband trackers, it is difficult to determine what is step and what is just a random wave of the hand. In the case of shoes, these errors can be safely deleted.
A few words about the batteries. The Smartshoe is charged by a model complete wireless station and is able to operate several days without recharging. Two models of Warm charged via microUSB cable and is able to work only around 6 hours without a break. Digitsole’s smart footwear to go on sale before the end of 2016.
