Google Shoes are modified Adidas sneakers and is a part of the company’s ‘Art, Copy and Code’ project. Its build in co-operation with the tech company ‘Yes Yes No’. They feature a custom-build microcontroller and speak funny things out to you via a speaker, or Google plus when connected to the internet. Things like accelerometer and gyroscope are build into the shoes too along with the pressure sensors at the bottom.
Its the messages though which make this piece of technology great. For example, if you start walking it will say "I’m snoring" and if you are not moving, it will yell "I am trying to imagine what it would look like moving" at you. It can also connect with an Android smartphone.
Shoes of the SXSW event in Austin, Texas, is displayed in the Google. What is regrettable is that Google does not intend to sell these in any market. However, they may be open source, so that you can do yourself. On the display of the data may be displayed at SXSW.
So the next time you buy your next one pair of sports shoes Adidas store (or elsewhere), you need a little time to consider the possibility of wearable high-tech. It actually looks like the concept of the glass better than Google, even if it is not the function near.
