Dancing Shoes by Tamás Fejér

Shoes with LEDs that change depending on user’s actions.
Design exploration during PlayFit project by Tamás Fejér

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Dancing Shoes are shoes with LEDs where a user can change colour, intensity and pattern of the light by performing certain actions. Walking, jumping or tapping results in cool light effects, connecting the players’ actions to their appearance.

A proof-of-principle was created by the designer, and worn at a party and an exhibition.

SCENARIO

Mark walks through the school corridor and encounters a group of classmates. He jumps and runs past them, showing off with his speed and the cool light effects that appear in his shoes.
