A few months ago, some shoes were known that had an E-Ink screen in their design and that could be used as a text reader. Something curious that attracted a lot of attention but which turned out to be vaporware, that is, it will take, if they ever exist, to go on the market. But the concept has penetrated deep and a young Jackson Dong He has created sports shoes that will have an LCD screen on the outside to be able to read or watch movies.
These curious slippers have been called Vixole matrix, shoes that offer more than a simple screen to the user and are already available through through crowdfunding, something that indicates that the Vixole Matrix will not be a vaporware more.
Vixole Matrix will have an approximate price of $ 245, a high but relatively low price if we consider that the screen is not the only striking thing about these shoes. In addition to the screen they have bluetooth connection, accelerometer, gps, magnetometer and a sound sensor. Sensors that will make the Vixole Matrix look more like a wearable than an ebook reader or clothing item.
The shoe's battery has a capacity of 3.000 mAh, a very high capacity for what it offers, so its autonomy is expected to be quite high. And all this can be managed by mobile through an app and bluetooth connection.
Vixole Matrix is very striking, but it is true that It's a far cry from the e-ink sneakers that were recently announced, although there is no doubt that this model is real and will hit stores or so it is expected.
Still, call me weird, but I prefer to continue reading on the bus shelters or on my eReader, something that is more comfortable for me, even waiting for the bus What about you?
