3D modeling and manufacturing

 

ShoeSense is a Boulder startup company focused on developing a wearable sensor that measures the deterioration of running shoes over time. The sensor communicates real-time data to a mobile application with which runners can track the deterioration of their shoes and receive feedback regarding running style and recommended running shoes. I contributed as part of a team to design protective cases and attachment methods to provide a sleek, nonintrusive experience for the user and so the sensor could withstand the elements in any running conditions.

 We made two final designs, a retail attachment method, which allows running stores to temporarily clip the sensor to a customer’s shoe, and the permanent method, which buttons onto an adhesive fabric to avoid damaging the shoe.
