EyeShoes is a connected shoe sole that leads you in the city streets through gentle vibrations while powering itself with your footsteps. Our users range from visually impaired people to daily cyclists or Sunday joggers who want to find their way without looking at their smartphones.
Our product is a shoe sole and its dedicated mobile app. The shoe sole contains a microcontroller, a footstep electricity harvesting technology and a vibrator.
Thanks to its comfort and small-size, our clients don’t even feel the presence of EyeShoes sole under their feet.
The navigation uses Apple map's accurate navigation algorithm.
