Power Laces - The Auto Lacing Shoe

[damnyouwoman14]

Why wait until 2015?

Inspired by 'Back to The Future II', thisproject is less 'Practical' than 'Proof of Concept', but hopefullyit'll tide you over until Nike comes out with something more polished.

Operation is quite simple- step into the shoe and a force sensor readsthe pressure of your foot and activates two servo motors, which applytension to the laces, tightening the shoe. A touch switch reverses theservos.
