English creator Dominic Wilcox has made a couple of model shoes which offer to guide the wearer home with inherent GPS route. The spark for the cunning footwear gets from The Wizard of Oz character Dorothy's red shoes, which broadly transported her home with a click of her heels. Regularly, the GPS framework inside Wilcox's shoes is additionally actuated by clicking the heels together.
The shoes, named No Place Like Home, were appointed by the Global Footprint extend in Northamptonshire, which looks to highlight the region's rich history of shoe making. With a specific end goal to build his outline, Wilcox collaborated with intelligent expressions and innovation master Becky Stewart and Northamptonshire shoe creator Stamp Shoes. A GPS unit contained inside the heel of the left shoe corresponds remotely with the right shoe and gives information to the incorporated LED lights – which show both the right bearing home, and how a great part of the voyage still remains.
Another home terminus can be added through USB association with a PC running reason made mapping programming, while a magnet in the right shoe and a sensor in the left recognize when the heels are clicked together. The inward equipment is controlled by double Arduino micro-controllers, and force is given by a cellphone-like battery pack.
