We need better way to detect the WiFi signals. You don’t wanna be noticed that you’re actually checking out the signal strengths of those coffee shops that you’re passing by. Wearing the WiFi detector T-shirt simply makes it too obvious. A pair of sneakers that can detect the WiFi signals will be much handier, making it less noticeable that you’re actually checking the signal strengths while you walk.
This pair of WiFi detecting sneakers has been equipped with a special WiFi detection unit under the left shoe flap. There are three LEDs on the unit to show you the WiFi signal strengths within the 50-meter range.
While the LEDs are blinking, meaning you get very weak or zero WiFi signal. Once the WiFi signal is detected as strong enough, the LEDs will stay steady and don’t blink anymore. The WiFi detection unit will only be detected activated when you walk, when the pressure produced activates the insole. It shouldn’t be any worry that those three LEDs will continuously blink even though you’ve taken the shoes off.
The WiFi shoes are a collaborative project made by mstrpln and Ubiq. Which the goal is to unite digital culture with fashion and design into a wearable technology.
