Robotic socks teach you to dance
    2017-03-15  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    Always wanted to learn some dance basics, but never had the time? Pull on a pair of these interactive socks, which can teach you how to foxtrot* or waltz in a matter of minutes via a series of vibrating* motors.

    Designers Pascal Ziegler and Maike Maas, students at Saarland University in Germany, created the wacky but kind of amazing wearables* to help wannabe dancers learn without assistance from instructors.

    So, how do these magic socks work? The designers said they equipped the socks with pressure sensors and vibration motors to monitor and guide the feet movement of the dancers. These are controlled by a master application running on an Android phone.

    The steps are indicated by vibration signals at specific positions of the foot, at the heel for a forward step, etc. When a user makes a mistake or gets out of sync*, negative feedback is provided.
