Load Cell Application - Wireless Shoe Sensor
|
From Futek Advanced Sensor Technology, Inc.
Wire and wireless force sensors / load cells can now be used as an everyday accessory for consumer use. They are used in shoes in combination with an MP3 player to measure your activity and transfer data to a receiver which then displays the information on the MP3 screen. The sensor tracks motion, distance, and other necessary metrics for the active individual and easily fits into a specially designed shoe. The sensor can also help to correct a person's posture. It is designed so that the MP3 connection would weaken when a person does not walk / run correctly. This motivates the user to walk / run correctly in order to listen to the music without static interruption. Futek has used our load button load cell to assist universities in developing this program and can assist other research programs in fulfilling such projects.
