Shoes with built-in metal tracks
If you hold one of the two shoes in your hand, you can feel the compartment
for the attachment parts in front, at the front of the shoe. This compartment is
integrated in the shoe midsole and results from an integrated metal track and
gap above. The metal track protects the attachment part of your InnoMake
during use. By adapting the shoe to InnoMake, the front of the shoe becomes
a little longer because the metal track protrudes about 22 mm to
accommodate the attachment parts. The compartment is protected from the
ground by a profiled sole.
When InnoMake is in use, you will feel vibrational feedback of obstacle
detection in the front area of the shoes equipped with the attachment parts.
We tell you the distance to an object in your walking direction via the
frequency of the vibration.
Information on the intended use and function will follow in section 3.
Attachment parts with ultrasonic sensors
Hold one of the two attachment parts in your hands. The units are completely
identical, so it does not matter which one you examine more closely. The
attachment parts have an L-shaped design, whereby a wider and bulkier part
meets a flatter, thinner part at a right angle. The wider part contains the
sensor system in your InnoMake, we call it the attachment. The thinner part
is intended for insertion into your shoe compartment. The attachment part is
inserted into the shoe in such a way that the attachment at the front of the
shoe points upwards.
We will concentrate on the attachment in the following section. We designate
the attachment surface where you can feel two notches as the ‘front side’for
joint orientation. The opposite attachment surface enclosed by the right angle
is the ‘back side’. The front side faces the walking direction during use and it
is also recognisable by the fact that our company logo (a dot with three
waves) is embossed in the area below the notches.
