Fraunhofer, a German Research Institute, is developing a smart ball. shoes It helps prevent runners from finding and correcting incorrect running positions, thereby preventing many common sports injuries.

The developer's idea is that some beginners are jogging without professional coaches, and in the long run, it is easy to hurt their bodies. Not only beginners, but even professional athletes can easily wrench themselves when challenging their past limits.

New smart sneakers are embedded with various sensors, including GPS and accelerometer sensors. These ones here sensor You can get all kinds of data from users when running, and then show them through smart phone related applications. The research institute plans to put the smart shoe into the market in early 2015.

Andreas Heinig, a researcher at the agency, said the app can advise users about the speed, posture and training time of running.

Heinig also said that many sports accessories such as chest wear and wristband are monitoring people. pulse And respiratory frequency. Smart shoes are facing more challenges. Shoes must monitor their life characteristics through sweating and more sensor patches. It is understood that Heapsylon, a start-up company, has developed a smart socks that can monitor the characteristics of life.

It is reported that researchers have created prototypes of shoes and related mobile device applications. The researchers intend to make electronic devices and sensors smaller on the basis of waterproofing, lightweight and durable.
