I'm going to need some of these the next time I hit the dance floor! Orphe is a programmable performance shoe fitted with 100 full-color, serially controlled LEDs, advanced motion sensors and a wireless Bluetooth module. The LEDs can be programed to map interactions between light, movement and sound and they can also be programmed to respond a certain way to the wearer's movements. Essentially, they were designed to enhance your dance moves! The shoes come in plain black and plain white to let the LEDs shine to their best effect, and each shoe contains a small unified circuit board as well as the high-density LED strip around the sole. The developing team commented, "More than money ... what we need are people who will join us in creating with new forms of artistic expression using these tools. We hope that with the participation of a diverse range of people involved in the creation of expressive art, including not only dancers and musicians but also developers and designers, our technology can lead to the emergence of a completely new culture of audiovisual expression." Pretty neat, huh?! #MWTG325
