Boogie Shoes
Last month at Music Hack Day Barcelona 2015, organized within Sonar Festival, Amelie Anglade, Guillaume Faure, and Paul Brossier created a little hack using Orphe Shoes from no new fold studio.
Orphe shoes contain LED lights that can be controlled remotely over WiFi.
The idea was simple: have the shoes react automatically to the music, making them flash along the tempo. We hacked a PureData patch using pd-aubio to detect onset and beat locations from the music coming throught the microphone, and make the shoes flash in sync along the music.
Using the motion sensors built inside the shoes, we could detect whether the dancer was moving its feet in time or not. If he moved in time, the shoes would flash white, otherwise they would flash red.
The hack was simple enough, but somehow we convinced the jury and won a pair of shoes!
