Google has unveiled a very weird kind of a device at SXSW 2013 ( South by South West) which most of you won’t even imagine as a real thing. They call it the ”Talking Shoe”, a sneaker that detects wearer’s movements and translate them into cool messages.
What this Talking Shoe really does is posting funny/witty messages on your behalf to Google+ or make them say out loud via on-board speakers, letting everyone know what your feet are doing. For example, if you’re running wearing these shoes, it will say something like ” I love the wind in my shoe laces”. Talking Shoe has been made as a part of Google’s Art, Copy & Code project, which is “a series of experiments to re-imagine advertising”.
Actually, the Talking Shoe is more like a gadget made for Stephen Hawking. Check out the video and you’ll see what I mean.
