These Smart Sneakers Help You Catch Pokémon
Complete with LED lights and nine sensors.
Aside from all the tips and tricks to help you catch Pokémon, this latest innovation from Vixole helps you improve your game through interactive sneakers. Billed as an “e-sneaker,” LED lights installed throughout the shoe light up and animate via custom designs and patterns. When synched with mobile AR or VR games like Pokémon Go, the sensors can detect if a Pokémon is nearby and start vibrating. While the model is simply a prototype for now, watch the video above to see the concept at work. A Kickstarter campaign will be launched in September to help bring the sneaker to market.
