Integrated Workout Shoe Peter Katlic Major: Computer Engineering Minor: Japanese Advisor: Shane Cotter
Goals Produce a device that meets the following criteria: • Able to be attached to the shoe laces for testing and integrated into a shoe for the final design • Have a total cost in between step counters and expensive solutions ($30-$50) • Record time, pace, distance • Measure distance within 10% error
Current Offerings – Step Counter Uses internal switch to count “steps” • Simple design • Small size • Low cost($10-$20) • Accuracy(up to 50% error rate) • Single user
Current Offerings - GPS Garmin Forerunner Uses GPS signals to record waypoints distance • Accuracy(1-5% error rate) • Ease of use • Multiple users • Cost($120-$330) • Loss of signal under tree cover • Bulky design
Current Offerings - Accelerometer Apple Nike + iPod Uses accelerometer to measure acceleration distance • Accuracy(up to 10% error rate) • Ease of use • Multiple users • Cost($30) (factoring in iPod($150-$350)) • Reliance on iPod
Components • Microcontroller • Accelerometer • Enclosure • LCD display • Battery
Implementation • Take acceleration measurements • Average measurements • Calculate velocity, distance • Store data
