chocolatebearturk:prostheticknowledge:DorothyWearable tech concept by ISL lets users trigger instructions to your phone using gestures made with your feet (for example, ordering a taxi or triggering a fake phone call to get out of a situation) - video embedded below:Have you ever been stuck in an awkward situation, praying your phone would ring so you could politely extract yourself? Of course you have. That’s why we made Dorothy, a physical trigger that makes any dumb shoe smart. Dorothy consists of the “Ruby” (a small connected device that slips into your shoe) and a mobile App that allows you to trigger a call to your phone from a fake contact (your “boss”) whenever you tap your heels together 3 times. Dorothy can also send text messages to your contacts with a custom message and your current location, letting them know exactly where you are. Soon, we’ll be working toward summoning an Uber.More Hereislmobile have a Tumblr blog hereNo but literally this could save lives?? How many people have been in a situation where a timely phone call could save them from a potential rapist/murderer? I know that since I’ve been cashiering and had to be out of my house past dark, I’ve been legitimately afraid of strange people who act suspiciously and if I could subtly click my heels and trigger a phone call that allows me to walk away or interrupts a conversation that could lead to creepytown, I would be eternally grateful.Seriously, this could help countless people avoid dangerous situations. -- source link
