You will never walk alone now that your sneakers can give you directions instead of a phone or map

This week, easyJet unveiled a prototype smart shoe – named ‘Sneakairs’ (pictured) – which with their built-in technology could help customers explore new cities with ease, enabling them to take in their surroundings without getting lost.

The revolutionary shoe, unveiled at the Barcelona Street Project event in Barcelona, incorporates a technology which connects via Bluetooth to a smartphone app which uses a phone’s GPS and directs the wearer which way to walk by triggering small vibrating sensors within the shoe.

A vibration on the left shoe means turn left, for example, two vibrations mean you’ve missed your turn, and three vibrations mean you’ve arrived.

The technology could see tourists being able to experience the sights without having to refer to a map or their phones for directions.
