In this experiment two pressure sensors (pressure sensor 1) are integrated into a sock to wear it as a shoe and try to sense where the pressure is applied. The two areas in this shoe model are at the heel and at the front part.
The code from the pressure sensors is adjust to display two graphs from the the back part and the front part. The set-up for each sensor is the same as the pressure sensors.
There are usually three different ways how the foot is placed on the floor, just the heel, just the tip or both at the same time. The graphs show these movements, the orange line resembles the front part, the blue line is the heel part of the shoe.
In the graphs you can clearly see, which part has pressure applied to it, in this case the amount of pressure is not important.
This application of the sensors can be applied to sense if the feet touch the ground. Because while dancing the feet are the part which touch the ground in an alternating way almost all the time, it is maybe more useful to use in the dance figures where the dancers lie on the floor an the feet are in the air, to sense that there is no connection to the floor.
