Shoes with GPS by Dominic Wilcox

Designer Dominic Wilcox created a utilitarian pair of kicks with LED lights on the toecaps, that illuminate to show you which way to walk. First, the wearer uploads their location via USB. The lights on the left shoe indicate the correct direction, and the lights on the right shoe are a progress bar that show you how far you have left to go.

A piece of software has been created in which the wearer plots their desired destination on a map - this location is uploaded via USB to the shoe. through the use of two microcontrollers called arduinos, a simple click of the heels, where the GPS is embedded, activates the system, with a red tag containing the unit's antenna positioned upwards.

Powered by battery, similar to that of mobile phones, data from the left shoe communicates wirelessly with the right one which shows progress via a bar of LED lights on the footwear's toe cap. a green LED is illuminated once one has arrived at their final destination. the left shoe indicates the correct direction in which to walk by way of LEDs placed in a circle.
