Draw With Your Feet

[HardOCP News]

You have to admit this is cool but in an odd, foot-fetish kinda way. Who thinks up this kind of stuff?

Based on the technology of the Flexible Fabric Pressure Sensor these slippers are designed with two inputs each that sense the pressure being weighted from the body on either the toe-balm or the heal of the foot. Feeding this analog input into a simple drawing application, allows the wearer to control the direction of a line and draw in a very simple Etch-A-Sketch fashion.

How long before someone tries to use their feet as a mouse for an FPS

Looks like it would be good to use as a mouse pointing device for people who have lost their arms / hands.

move the pointer with your feet and tap your heel to click.

That combined with some good speech to text software could change lives for alot of people.

Unless I just wasn't seeing it. I didn't really see how he was controling it. I just seen him move his feet and the cursor kinds going all over the place, but never seen any direct move your foot this way to move the cursor this way. I am at work and don't have audio. Was he actually explaining the movements as he did them?
