LittleBits. SENSEable Shoes. Created by Huaishu Peng and Yen-Chia Hsu at the Computational Design Lab at Carnegie Mellon comes the SENSEable shoes project. The shoes can identity and transmit information for 10 different gait patterns (standing, sitting, turning left, turning right, walking left, walking right, walking forward, walking backward, going upstairs, and downstairs).
Suggested applications for the shoes include being used in gaming platforms (think Wii Fitness) or detecting abnormal gaits in health care patient monitoring. Project Description: "The goal of this project is to build a foot-computer interface: a newly hand-free and eye-free interactive technology designed for the growing pervasive computing environments. By embedding multiple sensors into shoes, people are allowed to control ambient digital devices with their foot gestures as well as toe gestures.

WickedDevice, Fun electronics kits and more. Design Engineer Community | Online Electronic Resources and Support. Connecting To The World with Danger Shield - ZachHoeken.com. If you have an Arduino and a Danger Shield, and you are reading this page, you already have enough to start posting sensor readings to a webpage and sharing them with the world.
You can also access those readings yourself, on the web, wherever you go. How? With the help of Pachube! Start by taking a look at the Pachube sites: Pachube.comPachube.communityPachube.apps What does all this mean? As I write this, Pachube (pronounced "patchbay") is still in beta (that means they are still getting the kinks out before they open it to the public). Check out Pachube's Quickstart Page In the top half of the page, you see three points, that explain how to request a beta login code that will let you send information to Pachube (Inputs) and request information from other Pachube users (Outputs).
Scan the rest of the page. The folks who run Pachube are big Arduino fans, and they have posted excellent tutorials that walk you step-by-step through the process of setting up an Arduino to work with Pachube.
