After watching that video of someone adapting the rings of trees so that a disc player could read it as if it were a disk it got me thinking of music in everyday life. While jogging the idea occurred to me, what if you were able to create some sort of music with the steps that you take while running. In that moment I came up with this idea, something to add onto your music to make you keep in step while running. The SprintStomp was born.
The target audience is anyone that jogs, I plan to allow for a way to store data so that they can track. Data storage is all the rage nowadays.
Does your project solve an existing need?
It’s not necessarily a need but it’s an enhancement, plus with the advent of wearable technology, it’s going happen eventually that we’ll have some sort of tech in our shoes
Does your project enhance an existing interaction or human behavior?
It enhances human behavior, if we can visualize the data, we can compile a list of popular jogging areas, of stress on feet, and even a symphony of steps.
What parts do you need, how much do they cost, and when are they due to arrive?
I need some sort of way to connect a pressure sensor to the arduino that you can hold on your person. Then a portable battery source will do. I’ve purchased a couple of FSRs and they’ll arrive in a couple of days.
What, if any hardware, mechanical devices, and/or movements will your proejct involve?
Most likely some sort of mechanism for signals to go into the arduino and then something to allow arduino to play music. Everything will have to be durable since we’re going to be moving heavily with this. I'm likely guessing Arduino and Processing.
