"" Forget Google Glass or Jawbone Up, the next
wave in wearable tech might just be a smart
shoe from India. The Lechal , meaning “take
me along” in Hindi, has a Bluetooth enabled
shoe insert that hooks up with Google Maps
and buzzes to let you know which way to turn
on your chosen route.
Created by Ducere Technologies Pvt , the shoe
hooks up with an app that syncs with Google
Maps, tracks your steps and counts your
calories burned. The shoe itself can be used
for jogging around town.
At this point you’re probably thinking this is
some sort of high tech for runners, but the
Lechal has much wider applications than
that. The insert fits inside pretty much any
shoe in your closet. Want to listen to tunes
while driving instead of Siri navigation? The
Lechal could vibrate to let you know when to
turn instead. It can be used for hands-free
biking, hiking, walking, tourists not wanting
to look down at a map every five seconds as
well.
The original idea for the shoe was actually to
help the visually impaired navigate the world
around them. About 90% of the world’s
visually impaired live in developing countries,
according to the World Health Organization.
Around 20% in India alone.""

Whats next, a "smart condom" that lets you know when your close to the right hole? Lol!

Interesting. I think for the visually impaired it'd be great.

I think I want a pair lol:) but not interested in the condoms: )
