Lechal: the shoes connected using Google Maps

While most large firms focused on eyeglasses, watches and bracelets online, an Indian start-up has developed shoes that use Google Maps.

The start-up Indian ducere Technologies will soon begin marketing its product called Lechal . There is neither a smart watch, or glasses but connected to a pair of shoes connected. While most fitness-oriented accessories allow you to count the number of steps you have done, these pairs of Indian shoes will help you to do as little as possible.

The pair of shoes spartphone connects to its bearer through an application and uses Google Maps. The user specifies the destination and the pair of shoes will learn it on the route to follow, thanks to vibration on the left or right shoe.

Moreover, in addition to the gadget aspect, this new type of connected object has the potential to offer a new type of assistance for blind people.

According to the Wall Street Journal, ducere Technologies will begin marketing its product in September and the price should be in excess of $ 100.

To connect to the smartphone, the pair of shoes Lechal uses a Bluetooth 2.1 connection. At independence, the manufacturer says it can take 10 days on standby and 3 days of normal use.
