Hi-Wear.
Smart footwear with embedded sensors for step counting, weight measurement, GPS tracking, and gait analysis. Pairs with a companion app via BLE.
The concept.
Hi-Wear is smart footwear that goes beyond basic fitness tracking. It embeds a full sensor suite inside the shoe to collect real-time data about the wearer's activity, movement patterns, and physical metrics.
The system captures steps, measures weight distribution, tracks GPS location, and analyzes walking gait. All data syncs wirelessly to a companion mobile app.
Technical architecture.
The shoe houses pressure sensors in the sole for weight and gait measurement, an accelerometer for step counting and motion detection, a GPS module for location tracking, and a BLE radio for wireless data transmission to the companion app.
Design philosophy.
Hi-Wear was designed to be invisible. The electronics are integrated into the shoe's structure so the wearer doesn't feel them. The data should be ambient: always collecting, always available, never intrusive. The companion app surfaces insights only when they're actionable.
