Instrumented Footwear for Interactive Dance

We have instrumented a dance sneaker with an array of sensors that measure many parameters of foot, sole, and toe expression, continuously broadcasting them to a base-station and PC over a wireless link. This paper describes this system, reports its performance and outlines applications that we have developed for it in the field of interactive dance.
