Kanske är detta världens bästa/konstigaste skor? Uppfinnaren Dominic Wilcox har skapat en fullt fungerande prototyp på ett par skor som guidar dig hem oavsett var du befinner dig i världen...! Helt sjukt, men de verkar faktiskt fungera! Se på filmklippet HÄR så förstår ni vad jag pratar om.
"I was commissioned by the Global Footprint project in Northamptonshire, a place famous for shoe making, to create some shoes. I decided to make a pair of shoes that can navigate you to anywhere you wish to travel to. I thought about the Wizard of Oz and how Dorothy could click her shoes together to go home. After uploading your required destination to the shoes via a piece of custom made mapping software and a USB cable, the GPS, which is embedded in the heal, is activated by a heal click. It then communicates to the wearer via a ring of LED lights to point in the required direction. The shoe with the GPS wirelessly communicates with the right shoe that has a progress bar of lights to show how close you are to the destination."
- Dominic Wilcox.
För att skapa prototypen av de skräddarsydda läderskorskorna har Wilcox arbetat med konst-och teknik experten Becky Stewart samt den lokala Northamptonshire skomakaren Stamp.
