India'S Invention Of Guided Shoes Can Guide Physical Exercise.

< p > India has invented a wearable device for embedding shoes.

The device can provide navigation services for pedestrians or visually impaired, and even guide people how to exercise.

< p > according to the India media reported on March 25th, "run faster! Hurry up! Burn the calorie in the noodles you took last night! Turn left, then take the five step and then turn right, so that the running path will be bigger!" no! This is not the noise of the chattering wife in your ear, but the sound coming out of the shoes at your feet.

< p > two entrepreneurs from the United States Laurence and Shamal developed this small device, which can be embedded in your shoes and provide you with exercise advice and navigation services when you run.

Laurence and Shamal set up Ducere company in Hyderabad, southern India, and launched this product.

< /p >

< p > Ducere has won the first round of angel investment of 50 million rupees.

The investor estimates that the size of the wearable technology market in India will reach US $8 billion in the next ten years.

Silicon Valley angel investor Nickhil Jakatdar believes that the 50 million rupee has exceeded the size of angel investment in the field of wearable devices in the United States.

< p > Laurence and Shamal know each other in the US. They have similar ideas in developing wearable devices, so they become partners.

< /p >

< p > according to their initial idea, the device is mainly used to help visually impaired people navigate.

The embedded device is linked to the mobile phone APP through Bluetooth function, and enters the map through the mobile phone network, then implements the positioning, providing the specific location navigation service for the shoe master.

< p > the shoe communicates with the shoe owner through a vibrator, telling the owner how to turn and reach the destination, and so on.

Today, the device is presented to Dr. Anthony Vipin Das at the ophthalmology conference in Tokyo.

He worked with Dr. Anthony Vipin Das in the first phase of the trial in 10 patients, trying to develop this product.

Less than P, this product was envisaged by the US military research grant in the list of candidates to help people with vision impairment.

Inspired by this, Laurence believes that this device will be available for everyone in the future.

To achieve this goal, engineers from the R & D team have added many functions to the device and mobile phone APP.

The price of the embedded device is less than P. The price of the embedded device is about 100 US dollars, which can be sold in the form of the sole of the shoe or in the form of the whole pair of shoes.

Laurence said that one part of the profit from selling shoes will be subsidized to the equipment for the visually impaired.

Laurence's experience in working in the American law firm helped him to get familiar with his patent application.

At present, he has applied for 8 functions and design patents for the equipment.
