LEARNING SHOE BY FUSE PROJECT (from their laboratory)
Commissioned by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Learning shoe explores how a mass-produced object might address individual ergonomic needs. The shoe features a reactive sole material and an embedded “learning chip” that collects data about its wearer’s feet and gait. This information is stored on the chip. When the customer returns to the store for next season’s style, the data is uploaded and used to create custom ergonomics. Thus the Learning shoe evolves with its wearer.
