    A pair of slippers for drawing and playing games. These slippers are designed with two pressure sensors embedded in each sole and can sense the weight being shifted between the toe and heel of each foot. This information is fed into a computer where a drawing application translates this analog input into drawing directions, so that the wearer of the Joy Slippers can draw with their feet in an etch-a-sketch fashion.

    very small amounts of each
    Recommended Fabrics:
    6 mm thick neoprene and jersey or other stretch material

    Plusea, Woman you are genius. This is such an excellent example of crossover sewing. I hope you plan to market the finished product. For those with impaired use of hand/speech this can provide a means of communication, by foot yet. Congratulations, this is my vote for best pattern on the site. Cordially, Nehmah

    It's awesome. Even as a normal pair of home slippers it would be awesome, what then with the technical improvements!

    just got my conductive thread in the mail:) thinking of using your slippers (and arduino) in conjunction with Pure Data to make music. thanks for putting your ideas out into the world. oh, and have you used conductive thread in a sewing machine? i'm excited to try it.
