Joy Slippers
| Location: Expo Orange |
Wouldn't it be cool to draw with your feet? Well now you can with the Joy Slipper. The four homemade pressure sensors are embedded in the soles of these slippers that sense weight being shifted between the toes and heels of each foot. This information is fed into a computer where it translates to drawing directions, making the wearer of the Joy Slippers able to draw with their feet.

Interested in exploring alternative and seemingly bizarre human computer relations, I enjoy breaking technologies down to a basic level, from which I am able to develop my own interaction solutions and scenarios. I work on tangible, interactive and wearable technology projects.
