This
could be the perfect gift for the partner, who embarrasses you on the dance
floor. Smart socks, which can teach to dance, may be the answer for anyone
with two left feet.
The
socks have been developed as a running tool to help runners improve their
skills. Thanks to the socks, users can accurately record not only how far and
fast they run but also how well. It means the user maximizes their performance,
and reduces damage to body and prevents hurt. The hi-tech socks are made of
special fibers that watch the movements of your feet. They look, feel and can
be washed like normal clothes.
Sensors
(传感器)
record each movement and send it by an ankle transmitter (脚踝发射器) to a smart phone.
Then a "virtual coach" application shows the information and can tell
the user what they are doing wrong, and help to improve skill in any task with
feet.
The
socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers. "People think
running is so easy and of course everybody can do it but not necessarily safely
and well," Dr. Davide Vigano said. A recent study showed that between 60
and 80 percent of runners got hurt per year. This is pretty much more than any
other human activity. Researchers say the technology can also be developed to
teach people how to dance, play sports such as golf, or even to help to teach
women to walk better in high heels.
Mr.
Vigano said, "People could all benefit from the idea. We have had interest
from all sorts of sports, like skiing, football, cycling and golf. Anything
where you have to use your feet can use it. It could even be put in high heels
to help women walk in them safely."
Socks
are just the start, and the technology could be used in gloves, hats and boots.
The socks, anklet and software package, are expected to be sold for around£120, which will go on
sale in March.
