Google Talking Shoes

Wearable Technology + Media Art

To explore the world of connected objects and new forms of storytelling, Google partnered with YesYesNo to create talking shoes. We designed custom hardware and software that analyzes and responds in realtime to the movements of users. We wanted the shoes to be playful, responsive, and most importantly, have a sense of humor.
