So far, this is only a project on Indiegogo, but, as you know, on such sites sometimes things appear that can turn our ideas about the usual – even if there are few examples, they are. Watch the video below. Well, if you're lazy, imagine such a thing. Your sneakers have inserts made of electronic paper (colored paper, HD Color E-paper Flexible Dislpay), yes, this is not just electronic paper, it is also colored, it also bends. And so, you can transfer any pictures there from your smartphone. Sounds cool?
Actually, it looks cool too. The sneakers were priced at $ 150, models are offered with a different design of the area where the laces are and different heights. The video demonstration is effective. Several points raise questions. It is stated that the area where the display is located is not afraid of water, immersion to a depth of five meters. It is stated that it can be machine washed. It claims to use wireless charging. But it is not written at what temperatures the display will work? Will the paper withstand frost? If you wish, you can clarify all these points yourself here. I will note that the reduction in the cost of such displays, the fact that they become flexible, withstand water and not only – in general, all this allows them to be used not only in the manufacture of equipment, but also in various other areas. Here are sneakers for you, no one bothers to build such a panel into a jacket, jeans, attach it to the rear window of a car and write anything there from a smartphone. In general, an interesting future.
