Physical interaction design DH2400

While browsing Engadget I found an interesting system by Murata, a Japanese company. The system consists of a piezoelelectronic sensor in the shoe that, through Bluetooth 4.0, communicates with a smartphone. Although Engadget argued it to be merely a concept it does offer interesting  possibilities for interaction. The system can give feedback to dancers or runners but the installation can also be used to control/adapt/make music. The latter was one of the ideas discussed in class.
