This is a proof-of-concept video that showcases the basic functionality of the BeatSneaks musical shoes.
Tom at Hobgobeclectronics explains:
Like many people, I often find myself unconsciously tapping my feet, whether it's along to a song or out of some nervous habit. As fun as that is though, I've always felt as if something has been missing. If only I could trigger the sounds of say, a rabid pack of furious jungle beasts instead of those boring old toe taps. Or, you know, drum sounds or something. I guess that's cool too. Well, now I can! I've put together a pair of shoes that, with a little help from an Arduino, will let me trigger MIDI signals.
Tom has the details on the construction of his BeatSneaks at his site.
