How does LED smart skateboard only shine?

When you are a child, you must have been interested in those shoes that glittering, which are activated by the pressure under your feet, but the lights of these shoes are not interesting at all. Orphe, a pair of shoes developed by the Japanese entrepreneur No New Folk studio, is now looking for a supporter of Indiegogo. The pair of programmable shoes are equipped with 100 full color serial control LED lights, advanced sports sensors and wireless Bluetooth modules, designed to enhance and become part of your dance movements.

The LED lamp on the shoes allows the user to program and design the interaction of light, dance and sound. The light can be controlled by two steps: first, the application and the shoes are connected by Bluetooth; the second step, the user can use the application to program the shoes, and according to the wearer's transport. Make a corresponding response.

No New Folk studio said, "the light of the Orphe can be set to change with the speed and direction of the dancer, showing a variety of forms of performance."

The 9 - axis sensor embedded in each sole will detect the real time movement of each shoe, which can then be used to wireless control a variety of external devices, allowing shoes to be used as instruments, video games handles, and pedal switches. At the same time, No New Folk also hopes that all users can design their own macro instructions and share the way their shoes are used with the community.

More important than money is that they need people to participate and use these tools to create new forms of artistic expression. They also hope that as more and more people of different professions participate in the creation of expressive art, not only dancers and musicians, but also developers and designers, their technology can produce a new audio-visual expression culture.

In the development of these shoes, they won the aid of the traditional shoe company, thus overcoming the challenge of integrating shoes and electronic products. No New Folk provides a pure black and pure white shoe, allowing the LED lamp to get the best effect. Each pair of shoes is built with a small circuit board, which contains a ARM Cortex-M3 microprocessor, a InvenSense MPU-9150 nine axis motion tracking device, a Bluetooth wireless module, and a charging circuit, and a high-density LED lamp around the sole.

The No New Folk team wants to launch a SDK that allows users to create their own software. These shoes are currently available on Indiegogo for $270 early bird, and the retail price of shoes will be $330, which is expected to be shipped formally in December this year. If you are interested in this pair of shoes, you might as well log in to their public pages to support them.
