What we have been able to accomplish so far is we were able to find usable technologies for the shoe. We have gone through a lot of errors to try and get to what we would use for the shoe. We finally settled that for the shoe we would need a battery pack, the radar gun to tell if a car is coming or not, and a way to connect the Bluetooth to a wristband. Speaking of which we have decided the way that it would tell you if a car is coming is with a motor inside of a small bracelet. We have also been working on the design of the outside of the shoe using other shoe examples. We have also discussed what materials will be used to make the shoe. In the process, we have used sketches to find out what the basic design would look like for when we move to Blender and 3D modeling.
With what we have done so far, we have plans on what to do next. As we start to phase out of the main research involving materials and technology, we have an idea in mind about the design looks for the shoe. We are going to move along into the 3D design process, as we will use the Blender program to design both the band and the shoes. Going through the design process, we will use our hand-drawn concepts to further illustrate our products, sorting out any small gaps with the technical aspects. We will discuss the possibilities of moving forward with creating a physical prototype, where we will need to construct a whole shoe and band incorporating the technology with gathered materials. - Nic
