Lenovo - Smart Shoes

During Lenovo’s Tech World event in San Francisco this past week, the company revealed a smart running shoe with most features a fitness tracker demands

The smart shoe is the first product of The Smart Moving Platform, a collaboration between Vibram, Lenovo and BJDW (Beijing Design Week) that was started back in 2014.

Fitness fans will find the advantages of this new model obvious. It simplifies the exercise preparations and it reduces the chances of leaving the fitness gadgets behind. Obviously there will be no need to bring along extra gadgets, such as wristbands and phones.

The presented shoe is still a prototype, so no pricing or release date was announced, and before this happens, more changes to the looks of the product are expected.

Lenovo hasn't announced the specs of the shoes yet, but some of its features will include fitness data collecting such as a step and calories burned counter, the ability to act as a game controller and have LED lights inside the sole to help during after dark use.
